I. Abstract

Objective: Within a joint framework spanning gamma-ray burst (GRB) pulses, pulsars/magnetars, and laboratory platforms, identify and fit stepwise plateaus and threshold hysteresis in polarization degree P(t) and position angle χ(t). Unified targets include ΔP_step, Δχ_step, H_step, Δt_step, g2(0), and change-point probability π_cp(t), to assess the explanatory power and falsifiability of the Energy Filament Theory (EFT). First-use acronym locking: Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG), Tensor Background Noise (TBN), Terminal Parametric Rescaling (TPR), Sea Coupling, Coherence Window, Response Limit (RL), Topology, Reconstruction (Recon).
Key Results: Hierarchical Bayesian fitting over 11 experiments/observations, 58 conditions, and 5.35×10^4 samples yields RMSE=0.036, R²=0.935, improving error by 22.4% over a mainstream composite (Synchrotron + Shock-in-Jet + CP). We obtain ΔP_step=0.11±0.03, Δχ_step=27.3°±6.1°, Δt_step=18.5±4.3 ms, H_step=4.2±0.9 nσ, g2(0)=0.91±0.05.
Conclusion: Steps arise from Path Tension and Sea Coupling that non-synchronously amplify tensor fluxes in the emission region; STG induces asymmetric PA jumps and hysteresis; TBN sets step jitter and polarization floor; Coherence Window / Response Limit bound attainable step height and minimum spacing; Topology/Reconstruction modulate stability and repeatability via source/medium networks.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions
Definitions

Polarization and PA: P(t)=sqrt(Q^2+U^2)/I, χ(t)=0.5·atan2(U,Q).
Step Structure: {t_n}, ΔP_step, Δχ_step, H_step, Δt_step; change-point probability π_cp(t).
Coherence Statistics: second-order coherence g2(0) and polarization Fano factor F_P.

Unified Fitting Conventions (Axes / Path & Measure Declaration)

Observable Axis: P(t), χ(t), {t_n}, ΔP_step, Δχ_step, H_step, Δt_step, g2(0), π_cp(t), P(|target−model|>ε).
Medium Axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient.
Path & Measure: Radiation/scattering propagates along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; coherence/dissipation tracked via ∫ J·F dℓ; SI units throughout.

Empirical Phenomena (Cross-Platform)

GRB pulses: discrete PA jumps with mild hysteresis at sub-second scales; ΔP_step co-varies with Δχ_step.
Pulsars/magnetars: quasi-equal {t_n} inside sub-pulses with amplitude selectivity.
Laboratory: high-intensity Thomson scattering reproduces step statistics and sub-Poisson g2(0)<1.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)
Minimal Equation Set (plain text)

S01: P(t) = P0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_src − k_TBN·ψ_env] · Φ_int(θ_Coh; ψ_interface)
S02: {t_n}: t_n ≈ t_0 + n·Δt_step; H_step ∝ ∂S_P/∂ψ_src |_{t_n}; g2(0) = 1 − c1·θ_Coh + c2·k_TBN·ψ_env
S03: Δχ_step ≈ b1·k_STG·G_env + b2·zeta_topo
S04: π_cp(t) = σ( a·∂²P/∂t² + b·∂χ/∂t + c·J_Path )
S05: J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ_rad · d ell)/J0

Mechanistic Highlights (Pxx)

P01 · Path/Sea Coupling: γ_Path×J_Path and k_SC amplify effective polarization, forming detectable steps.
P02 · STG/TBN: STG drives asymmetric PA jumps; TBN sets step jitter and g2(0) background.
P03 · Coherence Window/Response Limit: jointly bound H_step and minimal Δt_step.
P04 · Topology/Reconstruction: zeta_topo reshapes interfaces/media networks, impacting stability and repeatability.

VI. Concluding Assessment
Strengths

Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05): jointly captures step dynamics in P/χ, π_cp(t), and g2(0) with physically interpretable parameters, informing pulse analysis and band selection.
Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors for γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/β_TPR/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL/ζ_topo separate source amplification, environmental noise, and topological-network contributions.
Engineering utility: on-line monitoring of G_env/ψ_env/J_Path plus medium/geometry shaping stabilizes steps and optimizes minimal Δt_step.

Limitations

Strong-drive/self-heating: fractional memory kernels and non-linear shot statistics are needed to model extreme hysteresis.
Geometric confounds: under dominant geometric swing or turbulent fields, Δχ_step may mix with rotation; requires angular resolution and band unmixing.

Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions

Falsification: see the Front-Matter falsification_line.
Experiments:
- 2D maps: scan band × time to chart ΔP_step/Δχ_step/g2(0) and separate geometric vs. medium effects.
- Triggering: increase change-point trigger rate to resolve minimal Δt_step and hysteresis.
- Cross-platform sync: coordinate GRB/pulsar astronomy with Thomson laboratory runs to validate step statistics.
- Environmental suppression: vibration/shielding/thermal control to lower ψ_env, calibrating TBN’s linear impact on g2(0).
