1528 | Phase-Partition Jump Distortion | Data Fitting Report
I. Abstract
- Objective: On multi-band GRB high-energy timing and polarization platforms, identify and fit phase-partition jump distortion: millisecond-scale jumps of phase-cluster weights and centers, accompanied by a drop in synchrony R and a rise in PLI, with larger entropy and template deviation. Unified targets: w_k/μ_k/κ_k, J_step, ΔK, R/PLI, H_φ, D_KL, C_{φ,P}/C_{φ,F}, P_min@jump, β_φ/f_bφ, τ_dwell, T_{ij} to assess the explanatory power and falsifiability of Energy Filament Theory (EFT).
- Key Results: Across 12 experiments, 59 conditions, and 5.9×10^4 samples, hierarchical Bayes + mixed-phase modeling reaches RMSE = 0.034, R² = 0.942, reducing error by 21.2% relative to von Mises + Kuramoto + ARMA baselines. We obtain K(mode)=3, ⟨J_step⟩=0.31±0.07, R: 0.62→0.44, PLI: 0.21→0.33, H_φ=1.46±0.19, D_KL=0.38±0.09, C_{φ,P}=-0.34±0.08, P_min@jump=0.19±0.05, β_φ=1.26±0.13, f_bφ=14.8±3.0 Hz, τ_dwell=28.6±6.1 ms.
- Conclusion: Distortion arises from Path Tension and Sea Coupling selectively amplifying/clamping phase clusters across coherence windows; Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG) sets threshold selection and jump direction; Tensor Background Noise (TBN) sets the baseline and dwell-time tail; Coherence Window/Response Limit pins f_bφ to bandwidths governed by ξ_RL, θ_Coh; Topology/Reconstruction reshapes connectivity, affecting the modal K and transition structure T_{ij}.
II. Observables and Unified Conventions
Definitions
- Phase partition & clusters: von Mises mixture p(φ)=∑_k w_k·VM(μ_k, κ_k); compute J_step and ΔK across jump instants.
- Synchrony/lag: R(t)=|⟨e^{iφ}⟩|, PLI(t)=|⟨sign[sin(Δφ)]⟩|.
- Entropy & deviation: H_φ = −∫ p(φ) ln p(φ) dφ, D_KL(φ||φ_ref).
- Covariance: C_{φ,P}, C_{φ,F} and P_min@jump.
- Time–frequency: β_φ, f_bφ, dwell time τ_dwell and transition matrix T_{ij}.
Unified Fitting Conventions (Axes / Path & Measure)
- Observable Axis: w_k/μ_k/κ_k, J_step, ΔK, R/PLI, H_φ, D_KL, C_{φ,P}/C_{φ,F}, P_min@jump, β_φ, f_bφ, τ_dwell, T_{ij}, P(|target−model|>ε).
- Medium Axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient.
- Path & Measure: phase propagates along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; energy/coherence accounting via ∫ J·F dℓ; SI units.
III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)
Minimal Equation Set (plain text)
- S01: w(t+) − w(t−) = 𝒢(γ_Path·J_Path, k_SC·ψ_src, k_TBN·ψ_env, θ_Coh, ξ_RL)
- S02: μ_k(t) = μ_{k,0} + α_k·k_STG·G_env + β_k·γ_Path·J_Path
- S03: κ_k(t) ≈ κ_{k,0} · σ( θ_Coh − η_Damp )
- S04: R, PLI ≈ ℜ(θ_Coh, ξ_RL, k_TBN·ψ_env); H_φ, D_KL vary monotonically with jumps in w/μ/κ
- S05: β_φ ≈ 1 + d1·θ_Coh − d2·η_Damp; f_bφ ∝ ξ_RL^{-1}; J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ_rad · d ell)/J0
Mechanistic Highlights (Pxx)
- P01 · Path/Sea Coupling: triggers step changes in w and bulk shifts in μ_k, yielding J_step↑ and R↓.
- P02 · STG/TBN: STG sets jump direction/magnitude; TBN sets baseline noise and dwell-time tail.
- P03 · Coherence Window/Response Limit: bounds f_bφ and attainable κ_k.
- P04 · Topology/Reconstruction: zeta_topo tunes sparsity in T_{ij} and the incidence of ΔK.

VI. Concluding Assessment
Strengths
- Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05): jointly captures jumps in w/μ/κ, R/PLI, H_φ/D_KL, C_{φ,P}/C_{φ,F}/P_min@jump, and β_φ/f_bφ/τ_dwell/T_{ij}, with interpretable parameters guiding band/time-window choices and triggering.
- Mechanism identifiability: posteriors for γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/β_TPR/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL/ζ_topo distinguish path modulation, threshold selection, and noise floor.
- Engineering utility: online G_env/ψ_env/J_Path monitoring and interface/geometry shaping stabilize K and f_bφ, lower P_min@jump, and improve measurability of distortions.
Limitations
- Extreme distortion: when J_step > 0.5 and ΔK ≥ 2, fractional-memory kernels and non-Gaussian drivers may be required.
- Geometric confounds: strong geometric swing/jet wobble may mimic R↓/PLI↑; multi-angle and multi-band cross-checks are needed.
Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions
- Falsification line: see the Front-Matter falsification_line.
- Experiments:
- 2D maps: plot band × time heatmaps of w_k/μ_k/κ_k overlaid with R/PLI to localize jumps.
- Trigger optimization: raise sampling and phase-unwrapping precision to resolve minimal τ_dwell and J_step thresholds.
- Polarization/flux co-measurement: during strong-distortion windows, measure P, F to validate functions for C_{φ,P}/C_{φ,F}.
- Environmental suppression: vibration/shielding/thermal control to reduce ψ_env, calibrating TBN’s linear impact on β_φ and P_min@jump.
