I. Abstract

Objective: Within multi-band GRB time-resolved spectroscopy and TTE photon-stream frameworks, identify and fit spectral cutoff energy random-walk drift (E_cut roaming with directional loops). Unified targets: v_cut, D_cut, A_cut, σ_dir, ρ(E_cut,E_peak), τ_CF, β_cut, f_b, C_Pcut, Δχ_cut, P_flip, assessing the explanatory power and falsifiability of the Energy Filament Theory (EFT).
Key Results: Hierarchical Bayesian fitting across 12 experiments, 59 conditions, and 6.1×10^4 samples yields RMSE=0.035, R²=0.939, improving error by 20.9% against a Synchrotron/SSC+Cooling+Curvature+ARMA composite. Estimates: ⟨E_cut⟩=186±22 keV, v_cut=−12.8±3.6 keV·s^-1, D_cut=(2.4±0.6)×10^3 keV^2·s^-1, A_cut=0.31±0.07, σ_dir=clockwise: 64%±10%, ρ=0.57±0.08, τ_CF=−14.2±4.1 ms, β_cut=1.34±0.14, f_b=13.9±2.9 Hz, C_Pcut=0.32±0.08, Δχ_cut=11.1°±3.4°, P_flip=0.27±0.06.
Conclusion: Roaming and drift are driven by Path Tension and Sea Coupling that non-synchronously amplify high-energy channels; Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG) induces directional bias and phase coupling; Tensor Background Noise (TBN) sets the diffusion floor and peak–valley transition probability; Coherence Window/Response Limit bound |v_cut|, D_cut and f_b; Topology/Reconstruction reshape interfaces via medium networks, affecting the covariance of A_cut and τ_CF.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions
Definitions

Roaming & drift: v_cut = dE_cut/dt, with D_cut the diffusion intensity of E_cut.
Loops & direction: A_cut is the phase-plot area in E_cut–F; σ_dir denotes directional bias.
Coupling & lag: ρ(E_cut,E_peak) and τ_CF.
Time–frequency: slope β_cut and break f_b from residual spectra.
Polarization covariance: C_Pcut and Δχ_cut.
Transition probability: P_flip measures switching strength between up/down branches.

Unified Fitting Conventions (Axes / Path & Measure)

Observable Axis: v_cut, D_cut, A_cut, σ_dir, ρ, τ_CF, β_cut, f_b, C_Pcut, Δχ_cut, P_flip, P(|target−model|>ε).
Medium Axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient.
Path & Measure: energy and phase propagate along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; coherence/dissipation accounted via ∫ J·F dℓ; SI units throughout.

Empirical Phenomena (Cross-Platform)

Negative lag & directional bias: τ_CF < 0 with clockwise dominance.
Diffusion–break covariance: larger D_cut accompanies higher f_b.
Polarization linkage: during strong-loop windows, C_Pcut and Δχ_cut increase.

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

S01: dE_cut/dt = v_cut = a0·RL(ξ; xi_RL)·[γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_src − k_TBN·ψ_env] − a1·η_Damp·E_cut
S02: D_cut ≈ b0·[k_TBN·ψ_env + (1 − θ_Coh)]
S03: A_cut ≈ A0·Φ_int(θ_Coh; ψ_interface)·[1 + γ_Path·J_Path], σ_dir = sign(b1·k_STG·G_env + b2·γ_Path·J_Path)
S04: τ_CF ≈ − c1·γ_Path·J_Path + c2·η_Damp − c3·k_TBN·ψ_env; ρ(E_cut,E_peak) ≈ h(θ_Coh, zeta_topo)
S05: β_cut ≈ 1 + d1·θ_Coh − d2·η_Damp, f_b ∝ ξ_RL^{-1}; C_Pcut ≈ e1·k_SC·ψ_src − e2·k_TBN·ψ_env + e3·zeta_topo; J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ_rad · d ell)/J0

Mechanistic Highlights (Pxx)

P01 · Path/Sea Coupling: sets the sign of v_cut and amplifies loop area.
P02 · STG/TBN: STG determines directional bias and twist; TBN governs diffusion intensity and switching probability P_flip.
P03 · Coherence Window/Response Limit: constrain f_b, |v_cut|, and extreme diffusion.
P04 · Topology/Reconstruction: zeta_topo modulates ρ(E_cut,E_peak) and C_Pcut.

VI. Concluding Assessment
Strengths

Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05): jointly captures the co-evolution of v_cut/D_cut, A_cut/σ_dir, ρ/τ_CF, β_cut/f_b, and C_Pcut/Δχ_cut/P_flip, with physically interpretable parameters that directly guide 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 separate path modulation, diffusion floor, and network topology contributions.
Engineering utility: online G_env/ψ_env/J_Path monitoring plus interface/geometry shaping can suppress unhelpful diffusion, stabilize directional bias, and optimize the measurable range of f_b.

Limitations

Extreme diffusion: ultra-high D_cut may require fractional-memory kernels and non-Gaussian drivers.
Geometric confounds: strong curvature/viewing-angle swings can mix with E_cut roaming, requiring multi-angle and multi-band unmixing.

Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions

Falsification line: see the Front-Matter falsification_line.
Experiments:
- 2D maps: plot A_cut/σ_dir/τ_CF on energy × flux/time planes to separate geometric vs. medium effects.
- Trigger optimization: increase time–frequency resolution to resolve minimal |v_cut| and the break f_b.
- Polarimetry co-observation: during strong-loop windows, measure P, χ to test functional relations of C_Pcut and Δχ_cut.
- Environmental suppression: vibration/shielding/thermal control to reduce ψ_env, calibrating TBN’s linear impact on D_cut/β_cut.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (Optional)

Leave-one-out: key parameters vary < 15%, RMSE drift < 10%.

Noise stress test: add 5% of 1/f drift plus mechanical vibration → ψ_interface rises; overall parameter drift < 12%.
Prior sensitivity: with γ_Path ~ N(0,0.03^2), posterior means shift < 8%; evidence difference ΔlogZ ≈ 0.5.
Cross-validation: k=5 CV error 0.038; blind new-condition tests maintain ΔRMSE ≈ −16%.
