I. Abstract

• Objective: Within a joint framework of CN/OH Zeeman, ALMA/JCMT sub-mm polarization, DCF field inversion, CO cubes, and Planck/SOFIA large-scale polarization, identify and fit magnetic-field strength index break deviations: k1/k2/n_break, B_norm@300 cm^-3, μ_mass_to_flux, η_DCF/σ_ψ, E/B, and break responses in p, ψ, quantifying 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, 60 conditions, and (6.9×10^4) samples yields RMSE=0.057, R²=0.906, improving error by 16.8% versus a “flux-freezing + non-ideal MHD + DCF corrections” baseline. Observations: k1=0.56±0.06, k2=0.24±0.05, n_break=(3.2±0.7)×10^4 cm^-3, B_norm@300 cm^-3=12.4±3.1 μG, μ=1.28±0.22, η_DCF=0.87±0.12, σ_ψ=14.2°±3.1°, E/B=1.34±0.20, p_drop@>n_break=0.19±0.06, ψ_rot@break=12°±4°.
• Conclusion: Break deviations arise from Path Tensor and Sea Coupling applying nonuniform weights to density–magnetic structures; STG shifts the effective tensor potential and critical coupling, flattening the high-density slope; Coherence Window/Response Limit bound accessible σ_ψ and E/B; TBN sets the joint Zeeman/polarization noise floor; Topology/Recon modifies covariance among μ and η_DCF.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

1. Observables & Definitions
   • Broken power law: B(n)=B0·(n/n0)^{k1} for n≤n_break; B(n)=B0·(n_break/n0)^{k1−k2}·(n/n_break)^{k2} for n>n_break.
   • Criticality: μ_mass_to_flux ≡ (M/Φ)/(M/Φ)_crit.
   • DCF residuals: η_DCF ≡ B_obs,DCF / B_true; angular dispersion σ_ψ.
   • Anisotropy: E/B power ratio, A_aniso.
   • Polarization break response: p(n), ψ(n) jump/rotation near n_break.
2. Unified fitting conventions (three axes + path/measure)
   • Observable axis: k1, k2, n_break, B_norm, μ, η_DCF, σ_ψ, E/B, p, ψ, P(|target−model|>ε).
   • Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient.
   • Path & Measure statement: energy–magnetic flux along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; power/coherence bookkeeping via ∫ J·F dℓ and ∫ dN_s. All equations are in backticked plain text.
3. Empirics (cross-platform)
   • Low-density slope near flux-freezing (~0.5–0.6), with significant flattening at high density;
   • μ slightly supercritical at high n, with σ_ψ and E/B rising in tandem;
   • Near the break, p drops and ψ rotates modestly.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

1. Minimal equation set (plain text)
   • S01: B(n) = B0 · (n/n0)^{k1} · Θ(n_break−n) + B0 · (n_break/n0)^{k1−k2} · (n/n_break)^{k2} · Θ(n−n_break)
   • S02: k1 ≈ k1,0 + a1·γ_Path·J_Path + a2·k_SC·ψ_density − a3·eta_Damp
   • S03: k2 ≈ k2,0 + b1·k_STG·G_env − b2·eta_Damp + b3·psi_recon
   • S04: n_break ≈ n0 · [1 + c1·θ_Coh + c2·xi_RL + c3·zeta_topo]
   • S05: μ ≈ μ0 · [1 + d1·k_STG·G_env − d2·k_TBN·σ_env]
   • S06: η_DCF ≈ 1 − e1·σ_ψ + e2·A_aniso; E/B ≈ (E0/B0) · [1 + e3·θ_Coh]
   • S07: p(n) ∝ A(ψ_Bfield, ψ_density) · [1 − f1·k_TBN·σ_env + f2·θ_Coh]; ψ → ψ + Δψ(n − n_break)
   • S08: J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ_eff · d ell)/J0
2. Mechanistic highlights (Pxx)
   • P01 · Path/Sea coupling enhances flux-freezing coupling and redistributes energy at the break.
   • P02 · STG/TBN respectively flatten/raise high-n slopes and set observational noise floors.
   • P03 · Coherence/Response limits cap n_break location and maxima of E/B and σ_ψ.
   • P04 · Topology/Recon shapes transition continuity and covariance among μ and η_DCF.

VI. Summary Assessment

1. Strengths
   • Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S08) jointly models k1/k2/n_break, B_norm, μ, η_DCF/σ_ψ, E/B, and p/ψ with clear physical meaning, directly informing field calibration, density-regime separation, and polarization–Zeeman joint strategies.
   • Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors for γ_Path / k_SC / k_STG / k_TBN / β_TPR / θ_Coh / η_Damp / ξ_RL / ψ_* / ζ_topo distinguish “freezing + non-ideal MHD + geometric bias” from EFT tensor–path mechanisms.
   • Engineering utility: online J_Path estimation and environmental de-noising (lower σ_env) stabilize inversions of n_break and k2, and improve reliability of μ and η_DCF.
2. Blind Spots
   • High optical depth/strong shielding may introduce nonlocal RT memory and back-scattering; a nonlocal RT module is advisable.
   • Chiral drift in strong Hall regimes may degenerate with psi_recon; multi-line/multi-scale cross-checks are needed.
3. Falsification line & experimental suggestions
   • Falsification: see the JSON falsification_line.
   • Experiments:
     1. Break phase maps: epoch-resolved (n, B)–p/ψ diagrams to track break migration and σ_ψ ceilings.
     2. Method fusion: Zeeman + DCF + Faraday in the same region to calibrate η_DCF and LOS projection biases.
     3. Anisotropy diagnostics: E/B with structure-tensor analysis to test coupling between A_aniso and k2.
     4. Environmental de-noising: vibration control and stable transmission; linear calibration of TBN impacts on p_drop and σ_ψ.
