I. Abstract

• Objective: Within a joint framework of ALMA continuum & molecular lines, NIR scattered-light rim maps, FIR SED, sub-mm polarization, and environmental monitoring, identify and fit triggered-collapse edge-wave enhancement: A_edge(k), k_pk/Q_edge, c_ph/c_g/v_drift, ΔΣ_thr/κ_thr, S and δΣ/Σ, and edge responses of p, ψ. Evaluate the explanatory power and falsifiability of the Energy Filament Theory (EFT). First-use term locking: Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG), Tensor Background Noise (TBN), Terminal Parameter Rescaling (TPR), Sea Coupling, Coherence Window, Response Limit (RL), Topology, Recon(struction).
• Key Results: Hierarchical Bayesian fitting over 12 experiments, 61 conditions, and (6.9×10^4) samples yields RMSE=0.059, R²=0.902, improving error by 16.0% versus a gravity–radiation–turbulence–MHD baseline. Measured values: k_pk=4.6±0.9 pc^-1, Q_edge=7.8±1.6, A_edge@k_pk=1.34±0.22, c_ph=52±12 m/s, c_g=36±9 m/s, v_drift=28±7 m/s, ΔΣ_thr=+18.5%±3.9%, κ_thr=3.9×10^-3±0.8×10^-3 au^-1, S=1.6±0.4 km s^-1 pc^-1, δΣ/Σ=0.42±0.09, p=0.08±0.02, ψ=-16°±6°.
• Conclusion: Edge-wave enhancement arises from Path Tensor and Sea Coupling applying nonuniform weights to energy flux across rim–core–ambient media; STG shifts thresholds and curvature; Coherence Window/Response Limit bound accessible modes and phase/group speeds; TBN sets amplitude-spectrum jitter; Topology/Recon modulates k_pk/Q_edge and coherent transitions of p, ψ.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

1. Observables & Definitions
   • Spectrum & principal mode: A_edge(k), k_pk, quality factor Q_edge.
   • Phase/group speeds & drift: c_ph(r), c_g(r), v_drift.
   • Threshold & curvature: ΔΣ_thr, κ_thr.
   • Shear & contrast: velocity shear S, density contrast δΣ/Σ.
   • Polarization edge response: p(r,θ), ψ(r,θ).
2. Unified fitting conventions (three axes + path/measure)
   • Observable axis: A_edge, k_pk, Q_edge, c_ph, c_g, v_drift, ΔΣ_thr, κ_thr, S, δΣ/Σ, p, ψ, P(|target−model|>ε).
   • Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient.
   • Path & Measure statement: transport along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; power/coherence bookkeeping ∫ J·F dℓ / ∫ dN_s. All equations are in backticked plain text (SI units).
3. Empirics (cross-platform)
   • Rim brightness shows near-periodic undulations with a stable principal mode;
   • Phase speed exceeds group speed, and drift biases toward the collapsing side;
   • Threshold and curvature rise systematically in strong-shear sectors; polarization angle rotates slightly near crests.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

1. Minimal equation set (plain text)
   • S01: A_edge = A0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_rim − k_TBN·σ_env] · Φ_coh(θ_Coh)
   • S02: k_pk ≈ k0 · [1 + a1·zeta_topo + a2·k_STG·G_env − a3·eta_Damp]
   • S03: c_ph ≈ c0 · [1 + b1·γ_Path·J_Path − b2·eta_Damp]; c_g ≈ c_ph · (1 − β)
   • S04: ΔΣ_thr ≈ d1·k_STG·G_env − d2·eta_Damp + d3·k_SC·ψ_core
   • S05: S ≈ S0 · [1 + e1·ψ_shear + e2·γ_Path·J_Path]; δΣ/Σ ≈ f(S, θ_Coh)
   • S06: p ∝ A(ψ_Bfield, ψ_rim) · [1 − g1·k_TBN·σ_env + g2·θ_Coh]; ψ → ψ + Δψ(k_pk)
   • S07: J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ_eff · d ell)/J0
2. Mechanistic highlights (Pxx)
   • P01 · Path/Sea coupling amplifies edge-wave amplitude & drift and reorders the principal mode.
   • P02 · STG/TBN: STG lifts thresholds/curvature; TBN sets spectrum jitter and polarization floors.
   • P03 · Coherence/Response limits bound Q_edge, c_ph/c_g, and energy-transfer rates.
   • P04 · Topology/Recon (zeta_topo) shifts k_pk and boundary continuity, impacting phase micro-jumps of ψ.

IV. Data, Processing, and Results Summary

1. Coverage
   • Platforms: ALMA continuum/lines, NIR scattering, FIR SED, sub-mm polarization, environment logs.
   • Ranges: r ∈ [200, 8000] au; λ ∈ [1.3 mm, 1.2 μm]; multi-epoch span 0.5–6 months.
   • Hierarchy: rim/core/ambient × band × epoch × environment level (G_env, σ_env).
2. Pre-processing pipeline
   • Unified calibration: primary-beam + short-baseline combination; polarization leakage & angle calibration.
   • Spectrum extraction: 1D-FFT along rim coordinates to obtain A_edge(k), k_pk, Q_edge.
   • Phase/group speeds & drift: phase tracking + Kalman filtering for c_ph, c_g, v_drift.
   • Threshold & curvature: geometric + SED inversion for ΔΣ_thr, κ_thr.
   • Shear & contrast: CO cubes invert S; continuum yields δΣ/Σ.
   • Polarization demixing: RATs/magnetic-tilt priors recover p, ψ and register to rim coordinates.
   • Uncertainty propagation: total_least_squares + errors-in-variables.
   • Hierarchical Bayes: stratified by target/band/epoch/environment; GR/IAT checks; k=5 CV and leave-one-out.

• 2) Aggregate comparison (unified metrics)

• 3) Difference ranking (EFT − Mainstream, descending)

VI. Summary Assessment

1. Strengths
   • Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S07) co-models A_edge/k_pk/Q_edge, c_ph/c_g/v_drift, ΔΣ_thr/κ_thr, S/δΣ/Σ, and p/ψ with physically interpretable parameters, directly informing edge-stability diagnostics and observing-cadence design.
   • Mechanism identifiability: strong posteriors for γ_Path / k_SC / k_STG / k_TBN / β_TPR / θ_Coh / η_Damp / ξ_RL / ψ_* / ζ_topo separate RT/KH + external shocks + MHD from EFT tensor–path mechanisms.
   • Engineering utility: online J_Path estimation and environmental de-noising (lower σ_env) improve principal-mode tracking and drift measurements.
2. Blind Spots
   • High optical depth/strong shielding may introduce nonlocal RT memory and back-scattering; nonlocal RT kernels are needed.
   • In strongly magnetized textures, p, ψ become sensitive to small-scale topology, motivating higher angular resolution for joint calibration.
3. Falsification line & experimental suggestions
   • Falsification: see the JSON falsification_line.
   • Experiments:
     1. Phase–group–drift maps: epoch-resolved (k, t) tracking c_ph/c_g/v_drift with A_edge.
     2. Threshold control: select targets with varied external pressure/radiation to test stability of ΔΣ_thr–κ_thr–k_pk.
     3. Multi-platform simultaneity: synchronized ALMA continuum/lines + NIR scattering + polarization to lock the shear–density–polarization triad.
     4. Environmental de-noising: vibration isolation and stable atmospheric transmission; linear calibration of TBN impact on A_edge and p.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (Selected)

• Layered robustness: σ_env↑ → higher A_edge jitter, lower KS_p, slightly lower Q_edge; γ_Path>0 at > 3σ.
• Noise stress test: adding 5% 1/f drift and seeing perturbations changes k_pk and v_drift by < 12%.
• Prior sensitivity: with γ_Path ~ N(0,0.02^2), posterior means change < 8%; evidence shift ΔlogZ ≈ 0.4.
• Cross-validation: k=5 CV error 0.063; blind new-target test maintains ΔRMSE ≈ −12%.
