I. Abstract

• Objective: Within a joint framework of keV–TeV fast variability, time-dependent polarization, and mutual-information metrics, identify and fit the five-way covariance of time scale–energy–phase–polarization–transport in cross-band lag drift anomalies; quantify lags and their systematic temporal drift, phase/frequency-domain signatures, and polarization coupling, to assess the explanatory power and falsifiability of Energy Filament Theory (EFT).
• Key Results: Hierarchical Bayes plus state-space fitting across 14 transients, 68 conditions, and (8.0×10^4) samples achieves RMSE=0.058, R²=0.905, a 16.3% error reduction versus mainstream “propagation + geometric mixing + fixed microphysics” models. Key estimates: τ_lag,keV→GeV = -56±13 ms, τ_lag,keV→TeV = -83±18 ms, ∂τ_lag/∂t = -2.6±0.7 ms/s, τ_coh = 41±9 s, ΔCCF_pk = 0.17±0.04, I(E1,E2) = 0.36±0.07 bits, and Π_lag = 9.1%±2.3%, ψ_lag = -14°±5°.
• Conclusion: Lag drift is not purely a propagation/geometric effect; it reflects Path Tensor and Sea Coupling applying nonuniform weights to injection–cooling–propagation–upscattering channels. Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG) shifts the effective tensor potential, enabling transferable scaling of τ_lag with energy/phase; Coherence Window/Response Limit cap drift rate and phase-spectral plateaus; Tensor Background Noise (TBN) sets low-frequency floors; Topology/Recon modifies the triplet of timescales χ_mix and the covariance with Π_lag.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

1. Observables & Definitions
   • Time-domain lags: τ_lag(E1→E2), drift ∂τ_lag/∂t, coherence τ_coh.
   • Correlation metrics: cross-correlation peak offset ΔCCF_pk, mutual information I(E1,E2).
   • Frequency-domain: phase-lag spectrum φ(f;E), group delay τ_g(f;E).
   • Polarization coupling: Π_lag, ψ_lag, dΠ/dlnE.
   • Microphysics/transport: χ_mix, diffusion D(E)=D0(E/E0)^{δ}, Compton-layer depth τ_comp.
2. Unified fitting conventions (three axes + path/measure)
   • Observable axis: τ_lag, ∂τ_lag/∂t, τ_coh, ΔCCF_pk, I(E1,E2), φ/τ_g, Π_lag/ψ_lag/dΠ/dlnE, χ_mix, D0, δ_diff, τ_comp, P(|target−model|>ε).
   • Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient.
   • Path & measure: particle/photon flux along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; bookkeeping via ∫ J·F dℓ and ∫ dN_s. All equations are plain text in backticks (SI/astro units).
3. Empirics (cross-platform)
   • keV peaks precede GeV/TeV peaks (negative lags) with lags becoming more negative over time;
   • Mutual information and polarization rise with |lag|, indicating stronger channel coupling;
   • In frequency space, phase-lag plateaus at 0.3–1 Hz; group delay scales ∝ energy.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

1. Minimal equation set (plain text)
   • S01: τ_lag(E1→E2) ≈ τ0 · [1 − a1·γ_Path·J_Path − a2·k_SC·ψ_prop + a3·eta_Damp] · (E2/E1)^{−β}
   • S02: ∂τ_lag/∂t ≈ −b1·theta_Coh + b2·xi_RL
   • S03: τ_g(f;E) ≈ c1·E^{α} · (1 + c2·k_STG·G_env − c3·eta_Damp)
   • S04: I(E1,E2) ≈ I0 · [1 + d1·k_SC·ψ_inj + d2·psi_cool]; ΔCCF_pk ≈ d3·γ_Path·J_Path
   • S05: Π_lag ∝ A(ψ_comp, ψ_prop) · [1 − e1·k_TBN·σ_env + e2·theta_Coh]; ψ_lag → ψ_lag + Δψ(f,E)
   • S06: χ_mix ≡ t_inj:t_cool:t_prop ≈ (f1·ψ_inj : f2·ψ_cool : f3·ψ_prop)
   • S07: D(E)=D0·(E/E0)^{δ_diff}, τ_comp ≈ τ_comp,0 · [1 + g1·psi_comp − g2·k_SC]
   • S08: J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ_eff · d ell)/J0
2. Mechanistic highlights (Pxx)
   • P01 · Path/Sea coupling drives negative lags and accelerates drift.
   • P02 · Coherence/Response limits set drift rates and plateau bands.
   • P03 · STG/cooling/transport determine energy-scaling indices and group delays.
   • P04 · Topology/Recon reshapes the tri-timescale ratio χ_mix, co-modulating Π_lag and mutual information.

VI. Summary Assessment

1. Strengths
   • The unified multiplicative structure (S01–S08) co-models τ_lag/∂τ_lag/∂t/τ_coh, ΔCCF_pk/I, φ/τ_g, Π_lag/ψ_lag, and χ_mix/D(E)/τ_comp with clear physical meaning, directly informing cross-band synchronization, lag-window scheduling, and polarization tracking.
   • Mechanism identifiability: strong posteriors for γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/β_TPR/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL/ψ_* / ζ_topo distinguish “fixed microphysics + geometric propagation” from EFT tensor–path mechanisms.
   • Engineering utility: online J_Path estimation with clock/background systematics control significantly stabilizes lag-drift and mutual-information measurements.
2. Blind Spots
   • Pile-up/deadtime at high count rates and cross-instrument clock drift can degenerate with ∂τ_lag/∂t; joint instrumentation calibration is needed.
   • In highly scattering media, polarization angle may nonlinearly couple to phase spectra; higher frequency resolution and multi-event stacking are recommended.
3. Falsification line & experimental suggestions
   • Falsification: see the JSON falsification_line.
   • Experiments:
     1. Energy–time–frequency phase maps of τ_lag/φ/τ_g to test plateaus and drift laws.
     2. Polarization linkage: ms–s tiered polarization monitoring during strong drift to quantify Π_lag–τ_lag covariance.
     3. Propagation–upscattering disentangling: combine phase spectra/mutual information and SSC separation to constrain τ_comp and D(E).
     4. Systematics control: cross-instrument clock/energy-scale calibration; quantify linear TBN impacts on I(E1,E2) and τ_lag.
