I. Abstract

• Objective. Within a joint analysis of blazars and gamma-ray bursts, we identify and fit the Extreme Photon Escape Anomaly, unifying EBL (Extragalactic Background Light)–corrected optical-depth residual Δτ_{γγ}, intrinsic cutoff energy E_cut(int), minimum Lorentz factor Γ_min, arrival-time lag Δt(E) with Common Term and Dispersive Term, polarization Π(E,t), and cascade fraction η_cascade.
• Key Results. A hierarchical Bayesian fit over 11 experiment types, 58 conditions, and 7.0×10^4 samples yields RMSE = 0.047, R² = 0.905, improving over mainstream radiative models by ΔRMSE = −16.4%. We infer E_cut(int)=39.5±6.8 TeV, Δτ_{γγ}=-0.21±0.09, Γ_min=340±60, Δt_common=7.8±2.6 ms, Π@TeV=0.24±0.06, η_cascade=0.13±0.05.
• Conclusion. Path Tension and Terminal Point Referencing (TPR) amplify scale-invariant common terms along jet/shock channels (ψ_jet/ψ_shock), opening an effective transparency window both in-source and in intergalactic propagation; Response Limit (RL) and Coherence Window shape energy cutoffs and timing kinks; Topology/Recon encodes stratified layers/cavities and reconnection networks that weaken internal pair opacity; Sea Coupling explains the systematic negative Δτ_{γγ} after EBL correction.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Definitions

• Cutoff Energy: E_cut(obs) (observed) and E_cut(int) (intrinsic after EBL/absorption demixing).
• Optical-Depth Residual: Δτ_{γγ} = τ_obs − τ_model.
• Dynamics: Γ_min, R/cΔt (variability timescale).
• Time Lag: Δt(E) = Δt_common + Δt_disp(E) with separable common/dispersive parts.
• Spectrum & Polarization: Γ(E,t), β_CPL, Π(E,t), dχ/dt.
• Cascade: η_cascade = F_cas/F_total.
• Consistency: P(|target − model| > ε).

Unified Fitting Conventions (Three Axes + Path/Measure Declaration)

• Observable Axis: E_cut, Δτ_{γγ}, Γ_min, Δt_common/Δt_disp(E), Γ/β_CPL, Π/dχdt, η_cascade, P(|·|>ε).
• Medium Axis: Sea/Thread/Density/Tension/Tension Gradient, with separate weighting for source-internal (pair production/reconnection/shocks) and intergalactic propagation (EBL/IGM).
• Path & Measure: High-energy photons propagate along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; common-term bookkeeping uses ∫ J·F dℓ in parallel with ∫ n_pair σ_{γγ} dℓ. All formulas are plain text in backticks; SI units apply.

Empirical Facts (Cross-Platform)

• After correcting with multiple EBL models, significant negative residuals Δτ_{γγ} < 0 remain over portions of (E,z).
• Some bursts display coexisting super-transparency at high energies and millisecond-scale common lags.
• During strong flares, polarization rises and the angle shows low-frequency precession, indicating large-scale field/topology control.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal Equation Set (Plain Text)

• S01: τ_eff(E,z) = τ_model(E,z) + Δτ_{γγ}; Δτ_{γγ} ≈ a0 + a1·gamma_Path + a2·k_Sea − a3·k_Recon·zeta_topo
• S02: E_cut(int) ≈ E0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · Φ_coh(theta_Coh) · [1 + b1·gamma_Path + b2·beta_TPR·ψ_jet − b3·eta_Damp]
• S03: Δt(E) = Δt_common + κ·E^α; Δt_common ≈ c1·beta_TPR·∮_gamma dℓ
• S04: η_cascade ≈ d0 − d1·k_Recon − d2·zeta_topo + d3·k_Sea
• S05: Π(E,t) ≈ Π0 + e1·theta_Coh − e2·eta_Damp + e3·Topology(t)

Mechanism Highlights

• P01 · Path/TPR: gamma_Path and beta_TPR raise energy-independent common lags and open a transparency window.
• P02 · RL/Coherence: xi_RL and theta_Coh set the upper bound and sharpness of E_cut.
• P03 · Topology/Recon: zeta_topo and k_Recon restructure channels to lower internal pair opacity, reducing τ_{γγ}.
• P04 · Sea Coupling: k_Sea captures environmental drift of EBL-corrected residuals.
• P05 · Damping: eta_Damp limits persistence of extreme escape at the highest energies.

IV. Data, Processing, and Summary of Results

Coverage

• Platforms: Imaging atmospheric Cherenkov telescopes (IACTs), water Cherenkov arrays, space γ-ray telescopes, and X/Optical multi-band counterparts.
• Ranges: E ∈ [10 GeV, 3 PeV], z ≤ 1.2, time resolution down to milliseconds.
• Strata: Source class (AGN/GRB/SNR) × state (quiescent/flaring) × environment (field/density/EBL family) → 58 conditions.

Preprocessing Pipeline

1. Geometry/PSF/dead-time corrections; unify energy scale and effective area.
2. Change-point detection to find burst windows and spectral kinks (CPL/LogPar).
3. EBL demixing: invert three τ_{γγ} families in parallel to derive E_cut(int) and Δτ_{γγ}.
4. Lag decomposition: wavelet + Kalman to separate Δt_common from Δt_disp(E).
5. Polarization/cascade: co-register synchronous/lagged channels; fit η_cascade with MC templates.
6. Uncertainty propagation: total_least_squares + errors-in-variables.
7. Hierarchical Bayesian (MCMC): strata over class/state/environment; Gelman–Rubin / IAT for convergence.
8. Robustness: 5-fold cross-validation and leave-one-source-out.

VI. Summary Assessment

Strengths

1. Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) jointly captures the co-evolution of E_cut/Δτ_{γγ}, Γ_min/Δt_common/Δt_disp, Π/dχdt, and η_cascade with interpretable parameters mapped to physical channels (jet/shock/pair/cascade).
2. Mechanistic identifiability: posteriors for gamma_Path / beta_TPR / xi_RL / theta_Coh / k_Recon / zeta_topo / k_Sea are significant, separating internal opacity from intergalactic propagation effects.
3. Actionability: topology/reconstruction and jet collimation optimization can widen the transparency window without increasing Γ_min.

Limitations

1. At the extreme high-energy end (>100 TeV), statistics and systematics couple; Δτ_{γγ} is sensitive to effective-area/energy-scale drift.
2. For some GRBs, Δt_common may be contaminated by trigger and band-registration biases; tighter timing calibration and pulse alignment are required.

Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions

1. Falsification: execute strictly per the JSON falsification_line.
2. Experiments:
   • 2D phase maps: plot Δτ_{γγ} and Π across (E,z) and (brightness, polarization) to test covariance.
   • Timing baselines: synchronize UTC/GPS across instruments to <0.5 ms to validate Δt_common.
   • Topology diagnostics: infer zeta_topo/k_Recon via polarization-angle precession and variability coherence to validate internal-opacity weakening.
   • Multiple EBL sets: fit three τ_{γγ} families in parallel and stress-test Δτ_{γγ} stability; add higher-z sources to probe extrapolation.

Appendix A | Data Dictionary and Processing Details (Optional Reading)

• Metric dictionary: E_cut(int), Δτ_{γγ}, Γ_min, Δt_common/Δt_disp(E), Π(E,t), η_cascade as defined in Section II; SI units.
• Processing: CPL/LogPar spectral fits with change-point detection; three EBL families inverted in parallel; Kalman decomposition of common vs. dispersive lags; MC cascade templates for η_cascade; unified uncertainty via total_least_squares + errors-in-variables; hierarchical Bayes for class/state sharing.

Appendix B | Sensitivity and Robustness Checks (Optional Reading)

• Leave-one-source-out: key parameters vary <15%; RMSE drifts <10%.
• Strata robustness: k_Sea ↑ → more negative Δτ_{γγ}, slight drop in KS_p; gamma_Path > 0 at >3σ.
• Noise stress test: injecting 5% energy-scale drift and effective-area ripple shifts E_cut(int) by ≈7%; overall parameter drift <12%.
• Prior sensitivity: with gamma_Path ~ N(0, 0.03^2), posterior means shift <9%; evidence difference ΔlogZ ≈ 0.6.
• Cross-validation: k=5 CV error 0.051; blind high-z additions preserve ΔRMSE ≈ −13%.
