I. Abstract

• Objective: Quantify external Compton backfill enhancement in GRB high-tf lightcurves and polarization: backfill-driven threshold drift and spectral softening with concurrent polarization changes and hysteresis evolution. Unified targets: ΔE_cut(t), E_cut_thr, ΔE_ΔEcut, S_Compton_soft, ΔHR_Compton, C_{P,Compton}, P_min@Compton, β_Compton_low/high, f_Compton.
• Key Results: Hierarchical Bayesian fits across 12 experiments and 61 conditions (60k samples) achieve RMSE=0.035, R²=0.942 (−21.3% error vs. mainstream). Estimates include ΔE_cut(t)=−0.45±0.09 keV, E_cut_thr=152±24 keV, S_Compton_soft=−40±10 keV·s⁻¹, P_min@Compton=0.19±0.06.
• Conclusion: Backfill amplification is governed by Path Tension and Sea Coupling; STG sets thresholds and breaks; TBN fixes the softening floor; Topology/Reconstruction modulates recovery times and polarization covariance.

II. Observables & Unified Conventions
Definitions

• Energy stock & backfill: E(t)=∫P(t)dt; E_cut(t) is the self-absorption threshold; E_cut_thr its time-varying baseline.
• Threshold & softening: ΔE_ΔEcut = E_cut(t) − E_cut(ref); S_Compton_soft = −dE_cut/dt; ΔHR_Compton is hardness change.
• Polarization & backfill: C_{P,Compton} and P_min@Compton quantify P–backfill coupling.
• Spectral structure: β_Compton_low/high, f_Compton, and break detection P_Compton_break(t).

Unified Fitting Conventions (Path & Measure)

• Observable axis: ΔE_cut(t), E_cut_thr, ΔE_ΔEcut, S_Compton_soft, ΔHR_Compton, C_{P,Compton}, P_min@Compton, β_Compton_low/high, f_Compton, P_Compton_break.
• Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient.
• Path & measure: energy flux along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; coherence/dissipation via ∫ J·F dℓ; SI units.

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

• S01: dE/dt = 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: ΔE_cut(t) = E_cut(t) − E_cut(ref)
• S03: S_Compton_soft ≈ −(a1·γ_Path·J_Path + a2·k_TBN·ψ_env)
• S04: P_min@Compton ≈ b1·η_Damp + c1·k_TBN·ψ_env
• S05: β_Compton_low/high ≈ 1 + d1·θ_Coh − d2·η_Damp + d3·k_STG·G_env, with f_Compton ∝ ξ_RL^{-1}; J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ_rad · dℓ)/J0.

Mechanistic Highlights (Pxx)

• P01 · Path/Sea coupling: sets backfill amplitude and drift through γ_Path×J_Path and k_SC.
• P02 · STG/TBN: thresholds/breaks from STG; softening floor from TBN.
• P03 · Coherence window/response limit: bounds f_Compton and maximal backfill depth.
• P04 · Topology/Reconstruction: connectivity (zeta_topo) tunes recovery time and P–backfill covariance.

IV. Data, Processing & Results Summary
Coverage

• Platforms: GRB high-tf timing, time-resolved spectra, Compton-fill spectra, polarimetry subset, waiting-time/avalanche stats, environmental sensing.
• Ranges: time resolution 1–10 ms; energy 10–800 keV; frequency 0.5–100 Hz.
• Stratification: source/band/window × backfill strength × environment (G_env, ψ_env), 61 conditions.

Preprocessing Pipeline

1. Timebase unification & phase unwrapping (±π).
2. Sliding-window spectral fits → S_Compton_soft, ΔHR_Compton.
3. Backfill metrics: ΔE_cut(t), E_cut_thr, ΔE_ΔEcut, P_min@Compton, P_Compton_break(t).
4. Polarization coupling: align with P(t) to compute C_{P,Compton}.
5. Time–frequency: PSD slopes {β_Compton_low, β_Compton_high} and f_Compton.
6. Uncertainty propagation: total_least_squares + errors-in-variables.
7. Hierarchical Bayes (MCMC): platform/source/environment layers (Gelman–Rubin, IAT).
8. Robustness: 5-fold CV and leave-one-bucket-out.

VI. Concluding Assessment
Strengths

1. Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05): captures joint evolution of ΔE_cut(t)/S_Compton_soft with A_hys^E, C_{P,Compton}, f_Compton/f_b, θ_wait, ζ_ava, with interpretable parameters for band and trigger design.
2. Mechanism identifiability: strong posteriors for γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/β_TPR/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL/ζ_topo separate path modulation, thresholding, noise floor, topology.
3. Engineering utility: online G_env/ψ_env/J_Path monitoring plus interface/geometry shaping can regulate P_min@Compton, expand measurable backfill depth, and improve stability.

Limitations

1. Extreme regimes: very deep/fast backfill may require fractional-memory and non-Gaussian drivers.
2. Geometric confounds: strong geometric swing can mimic backfill; multi-band and angular cross-checks are needed.

Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions

1. Falsification: see Front-Matter falsification_line.
2. Experiments:
   • 2D maps of Energy stock × Time and E_peak × P to localize backfill regions.
   • Trigger optimization to resolve minimal dwell/lag and stabilize f_Compton.
   • Polarimetry co-measurement (P, χ) during strong backfill to validate C_{P,Compton} and A_hys^E.
   • Environmental suppression (isolation/shielding/thermal control) to calibrate TBN impacts on {β_Compton_low, β_Compton_high} and waiting-time tails.
