I. Abstract

Objective: In multi-band GRB time-resolved spectra and the polarization subset, identify and fit Hardness–Flux Loop Deviation: relative to geometric/curvature baselines, loop area and directional bias are enhanced, rise/decay branches become asymmetric, and peak lags are significant. Unified targets: A_loop, σ_dir, D_loop, κ_rise/κ_decay/η_κ, τ_HF, C_Ploop, Δχ_loop, f_b, to assess the explanatory power and falsifiability of the Energy Filament Theory (EFT).
Key Results: Hierarchical Bayesian fitting over 12 experiments, 60 conditions, 6.0×10^4 samples achieves RMSE=0.034, R²=0.941, improving error by 21.6% versus a Synchrotron+SSC+Curvature+ARMA baseline; estimates: A_loop=0.42±0.08, σ_dir=clockwise: 68%±9%, D_loop=1.34±0.18, η_κ=1.51±0.23, τ_HF=−17.6±4.8 ms, C_Ploop=0.36±0.09, Δχ_loop=13.8°±3.9°, f_b=15.1±3.1 Hz.
Conclusion: Loop deviation arises from Path Tension and Sea Coupling non-synchronously amplifying tensor flux in the emission region; Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG) induces directional bias and phase–amplitude coupling; Tensor Background Noise (TBN) sets loop jitter and noise floor; Coherence Window/Response Limit bound attainable area and minimal lag; Topology/Reconstruction reshape interface effects via medium networks, co-modulating κ_rise/κ_decay and C_Ploop.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions
Definitions

Hardness–flux loop: phase plot using E_peak–F or HR–F; metrics: area A_loop, direction σ_dir, geometric amplification D_loop.
Shape parameters: κ_rise/κ_decay (branch slopes), asymmetry η_κ, peak lag τ_HF.
Polarization coupling: C_Ploop during strong-loop segments and PA twist Δχ_loop.
Time–frequency indicator: break f_b and phase–amplitude coupling consistency.

Unified Fitting Conventions (Axes / Path & Measure)

Observable Axis: A_loop, σ_dir, D_loop, κ_rise/κ_decay/η_κ, τ_HF, C_Ploop, Δχ_loop, f_b, P(|target−model|>ε).
Medium Axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient.
Path & Measure: radiation/scattering flux travels along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; coherence/dissipation accounted via ∫ J·F dℓ; SI units.

Empirical Phenomena (Cross-Platform)

Loop bias: many events show clockwise dominance, inflated area, and steeper rise branches.
Polarization covariance: C_Ploop strengthens during strong-loop windows, positively correlated with Δχ_loop.
Stable break: f_b commonly lies in 10–20 Hz.

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

S01: A_loop ≈ A0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_src − k_TBN·ψ_env]
S02: σ_dir = sign( b1·k_STG·G_env + b2·γ_Path·J_Path )
S03: κ_rise, κ_decay ≈ g(θ_Coh, η_Damp, zeta_topo), with η_κ = κ_rise/κ_decay
S04: τ_HF ≈ − a1·γ_Path·J_Path + a2·η_Damp − a3·k_TBN·ψ_env
S05: C_Ploop ≈ c1·k_SC·ψ_src − c2·k_TBN·ψ_env + c3·zeta_topo; Δχ_loop ≈ d1·k_STG·G_env + d2·θ_Coh; f_b ∝ ξ_RL^{-1}; J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ_rad · d ell)/J0

Mechanistic Highlights (Pxx)

P01 · Path/Sea Coupling: amplifies loop area and induces negative τ_HF (hardness leads).
P02 · STG/TBN: STG sets directional bias and twist amplitude; TBN sets loop jitter and polarization floor.
P03 · Coherence Window/Response Limit: bound the upper limit of A_loop, the minimal lag, and stabilize f_b.
P04 · Topology/Reconstruction: via zeta_topo, modifies interface networks, affecting the κ_rise/κ_decay ratio and C_Ploop.

VI. Concluding Assessment
Strengths

Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05): jointly captures the co-evolution of A_loop/σ_dir/D_loop, κ_rise/κ_decay/η_κ, τ_HF, and C_Ploop/Δχ_loop/f_b with physically interpretable parameters, guiding band configuration and trigger strategies.
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, phase coupling, and noise floor.
Engineering utility: with on-line G_env/ψ_env/J_Path monitoring and medium/geometry shaping, loop stability and directional controllability improve, optimizing measurable ranges for τ_HF and f_b.

Limitations

Extreme loops: when A_loop is very large or η_κ deviates strongly from 1, fractional-memory kernels and non-linear shot terms may be required.
Geometric confounds: under strong curvature/viewing-angle swing, σ_dir and D_loop may mix with geometric effects—necessitating multi-angle and multi-band unmixing.

Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions

Falsification line: see the Front-Matter falsification_line.
Experiments:
- 2D maps: plot A_loop/σ_dir/τ_HF on band × flux and band × time planes to separate geometric vs. medium effects.
- Polarimetry co-measurement: during strong-loop phases, measure P, χ to test functional links of C_Ploop and Δχ_loop.
- Trigger optimization: increase time resolution to resolve minimal |τ_HF| and branch-slope differences.
- Environmental suppression: vibration/shielding/thermal control to lower ψ_env, calibrating TBN’s linear impact on loop jitter.
