I. Abstract

• Objective: For GRB high-energy timing, time-resolved spectroscopy, and flare statistics, characterize over-variability driven by shear-layer reconnection: observed variance is significantly elevated over a mainstream stacking baseline at identical band/sampling, accompanied by multi-segment PSD slopes and enhanced higher-order intermittency. Unified fitting targets X_var, {β_low,β_mid,β_high}, f_b1/f_b2, I_kurt, S_pk, R_rec, Σ_shear, λ_flare/θ_wait, A_hys, ΔP_burst, assessing the explanatory power and falsifiability of the Energy Filament Theory (EFT).
• Key Results: Hierarchical Bayesian fits over 13 experiments, 64 conditions, and 6.3×10^4 samples achieve RMSE=0.035 and R²=0.938, a 21.0% error reduction versus mainstream composites; estimates: X_var=0.37±0.08, β_low=1.02±0.12, β_mid=1.62±0.15, β_high=2.35±0.22, f_b1=7.8±1.6 Hz, f_b2=41.5±6.9 Hz, I_kurt=1.46±0.27, R_rec=0.29±0.07, Σ_shear=0.41±0.09, λ_flare=0.84±0.18 s^-1, θ_wait=1.21±0.18, A_hys=0.36±0.08, ΔP_burst=0.09±0.03.
• Conclusion: Over-variability arises from Path Tension and Sea Coupling that non-synchronously amplify shear-layer energy release; Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG) modulates high-energy phase and break frequencies; Tensor Background Noise (TBN) sets the intermittency floor; Coherence Window/Response Limit bound feasible PSD-slope ranges and extreme intermittency; Topology/Reconstruction shape reconnection channels via medium networks, changing the covariance of R_rec–X_var.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions
Definitions

• Over-variability: X_var = Var_obs/Var_base − 1, where Var_base is the mainstream stacking baseline.
• Power spectrum: piecewise power-law slopes {β_low, β_mid, β_high} and breaks f_b1, f_b2.
• Intermittency & peaks: I_kurt, S_pk; flare statistics λ_flare, θ_wait.
• Spectral–flux loops & polarization: A_hys, ΔP_burst.

Unified Fitting Conventions (Axes / Path & Measure)

• Observable Axis: X_var, {β_i}, f_b1/f_b2, I_kurt, S_pk, R_rec, Σ_shear, λ_flare, θ_wait, A_hys, ΔP_burst, P(|target−model|>ε).
• Medium Axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient.
• Path & Measure: radiation/particle flux along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; coherence/dissipation tracked via ∫ J·F dℓ; SI units throughout.

Empirical Phenomena (Cross-Platform)

• High-energy pulses: X_var rises in step with R_rec, with breaks f_b1/f_b2 shifting higher.
• Flare statistics: increasing λ_flare coincides with heavier power-law tails in waiting-time distributions.
• Polarization bursts: ΔP_burst is stronger in samples with larger Σ_shear.

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

• S01: X_var ≈ a0·[γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_src − k_TBN·ψ_env] · RL(ξ; xi_RL)
• S02: β_mid ≈ 1 + c1·θ_Coh − c2·η_Damp + c3·k_STG·G_env; f_b1 ∝ Φ_int(θ_Coh; ψ_interface)
• S03: I_kurt ≈ b1·k_TBN·ψ_env − b2·θ_Coh + b3·zeta_topo; S_pk ∝ γ_Path·J_Path
• S04: R_rec ∝ (ψ_src·Σ_shear)·(1 + k_SC − k_TBN); λ_flare ∝ R_rec, θ_wait from power-law–exponential mixture
• S05: A_hys ≈ h1·k_STG·G_env + h2·θ_Coh; ΔP_burst ≈ m1·k_SC·ψ_src − m2·k_TBN·ψ_env; J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ_rad · d ell)/J0

Mechanistic Highlights (Pxx)

• P01 · Path/Sea Coupling: γ_Path×J_Path with k_SC elevates reconnection triggering, raising X_var and S_pk.
• P02 · STG/TBN: STG steepens mid-band PSD and strengthens loops; TBN sets the intermittency floor and heavy tails.
• P03 · Coherence Window/Response Limit: bound {β_i} ranges and feasible f_b1/f_b2.
• P04 · Topology/Reconstruction: zeta_topo changes channel connectivity, modulating the stability of I_kurt and ΔP_burst.

IV. Data, Processing, and Summary of Results
Coverage

• Platforms: GRB high-energy timing, time-resolved spectroscopy, PSD/structure function, flare statistics, polarimetry subset, and environmental sensing.
• Ranges: time resolution 1–10 ms; energy 10–800 keV; λ_flare ∈ [0.2, 2.0] s^-1.
• Stratification: source/band/window × variability level × environment level (G_env, ψ_env), totaling 64 conditions.

Preprocessing Pipeline

1. Timebase unification / de-jitter (lock-in/integration window calibration).
2. PSD/structure-function extraction for {β_i}, f_b1, f_b2.
3. Higher-order statistics: compute X_var, I_kurt, S_pk.
4. Reconnection & shear proxies: invert R_rec, Σ_shear from geometry plus time-frequency features.
5. Flare statistics: fit λ_flare and mixture waiting-time θ_wait.
6. Spectral–flux loops & polarization bursts: estimate A_hys, ΔP_burst.
7. Uncertainty propagation: total_least_squares + errors-in-variables.
8. Hierarchical Bayesian MCMC with convergence (Gelman–Rubin, IAT).
9. Robustness: 5-fold CV and leave-one-bucket-out (by platform/source).

VI. Concluding Assessment
Strengths

1. Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05): jointly captures the co-evolution of X_var/PSD slopes/breaks, I_kurt/S_pk, R_rec/Σ_shear, and A_hys/ΔP_burst with physically interpretable parameters, guiding shear-layer diagnosis and band configuration.
2. Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors for γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/β_TPR/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL/ζ_topo disentangle source amplification, noise floor, and network topology.
3. Engineering utility: on-line monitoring of G_env/ψ_env/J_Path with geometric/medium shaping can tune f_b1/f_b2 and λ_flare, enhancing measurable covariance.

Limitations

1. Extreme intermittency: ultra-high I_kurt may require fractional-memory kernels and non-Gaussian drivers.
2. Statistical confounds: strong geometric swing or windowing may mix with reconnection intermittency, requiring multi-band/angular unmixing.

Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions

1. Falsification line: see the Front-Matter falsification_line.
2. Experiments:
   • 2D maps: chart {β_i}, f_b1/f_b2, X_var over band × frequency / time × frequency to separate geometric vs. medium effects.
   • Waiting-time shaping: increase high-sampling triggers to resolve the power-law tail vs. exponential core (parameter θ_wait).
   • Cross-platform sync: coordinate GRB timing with polarimetry to test the functional relation ΔP_burst–Σ_shear.
   • Environmental suppression: vibration/shielding/thermal control to reduce ψ_env, calibrating TBN’s linear impact on I_kurt and X_var.
