I. Abstract

• Objective. In a joint blazar–GRB framework, quantify the Nonlinear Cooling Residual Bias by fitting the cooling residual R_cool(t,E), curvature residual β_res, break deviation ΔE_b, energy–lag slope deviation Δη_lag, Hardness–Intensity loop asymmetry A_HI, and polarization–cooling coupling C_{Π−cool}.
• Key Results. Hierarchical Bayesian fitting over 12 experiment types, 62 conditions, and 8.2×10^4 samples yields RMSE = 0.044, R² = 0.913, improving over mainstream cooling baselines by ΔRMSE = −18.2%; we infer β_res = −0.17±0.05, ΔE_b = −18.6±5.9 keV, Δη_lag = −0.21±0.06, A_HI = 0.28±0.07, C_{Π−cool} = 0.36±0.09.
• Conclusion. Path Tension and Terminal Point Referencing (TPR) inject observable common residuals into the electron–field–turbulence channels (ψ_e/ψ_B/ψ_turb); Response Limit (RL) and Coherence Window set the turning behavior of breaks and curvature; Topology/Recon modulates injection/escape via reconnection/stratification, producing systematically negative β_res and ΔE_b; Sea Coupling captures slow environmental drift of residuals.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Definitions

• Cooling residual: R_cool(t,E) = Obs(t,E) − Model_lin(t,E).
• Curvature & break: β_res = β_obs − β_lin, ΔE_b = E_b,obs − E_b,lin(t).
• Energy–lag slope: Δη_lag = η_obs − η_lin where lag ∝ E^{η}.
• H–I loop: asymmetry A_HI (clockwise vs. counterclockwise).
• Polarization–cooling coupling: C_{Π−cool} = corr(Π(t), dE/dt).
• Consistency: P(|target − model| > ε).

Unified Fitting Conventions (Three Axes + Path/Measure)

• Observable axis: R_cool, β_res, ΔE_b, Δη_lag, A_HI, C_{Π−cool}, P(|·|>ε).
• Medium axis: Sea/Thread/Density/Tension/Tension Gradient for weighting source-internal (injection/cooling/escape/reconnection) and propagation corrections.
• Path & measure: processes evolve along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; bookkeeping in plain-text formulas with SI units; EBL/geometry deconvolved upstream.

Empirical Facts (Cross-Platform)

• During strong flares and rapid pulses, E_b(t) decays more slowly than t^{-1}, yielding negative ΔE_b.
• β_res < 0 coexists with clockwise A_HI > 0, pointing to nonlinear injection/escape.
• Polarization rise correlates with slower cooling, C_{Π−cool} > 0.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal Equation Set (Plain Text)

• S01: R_cool(t,E) ≈ a0 + a1·gamma_Path + a2·beta_TPR·ψ_e − a3·eta_Damp·E^2 + a4·k_Recon·Topology(t)
• S02: β_res ≈ b0 − b1·theta_Coh + b2·k_Recon − b3·k_Sea
• S03: E_b(t) = E_{b0} · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · Φ_coh(theta_Coh) · [1 + c1·psi_B + c2·psi_turb] · t^{-1+δ}, with δ ≈ c3·gamma_Path − c4·eta_Damp
• S04: η_obs = η_lin + Δη_lag, Δη_lag ≈ d1·beta_TPR·∮_gamma dℓ − d2·eta_Damp
• S05: C_{Π−cool} ≈ e1·theta_Coh + e2·zeta_topo − e3·k_Sea

Mechanism Highlights

• P01 · Path/TPR: gamma_Path and beta_TPR add energy-independent common residuals and a modest δ shift.
• P02 · Coherence/RL: theta_Coh/xi_RL govern break/curvature turning strength.
• P03 · Topology/Recon: zeta_topo/k_Recon alter injection–escape balance, driving β_res and A_HI.
• P04 · Damping: eta_Damp suppresses high-energy residuals and shrinks Δη_lag toward zero.
• P05 · Sea Coupling: k_Sea captures slow environmental drift.

IV. Data, Processing, and Results

Coverage

• Platforms: space γ-ray telescopes, IACT arrays, fast X/optical follow-up and polarimetry.
• Ranges: E ∈ [1 keV, 3 TeV], time resolution to milliseconds; z ≤ 1.0.
• Strata: source class (AGN/GRB) × state (quiescent/flaring/pulsed) × environment (density/tension) → 62 conditions.

Preprocessing Pipeline

1. Unify energy scale/effective area/PSF/dead-time; cross-instrument UTC/GPS alignment.
2. Change-point detection of pulses/cooling segments; CPL/LogPar spectral fits → Γ(t), β_CPL(t), E_b(t).
3. Build linear-cooling baselines (with KN and escape), then compute R_cool, β_res, ΔE_b.
4. Energy–lag regression to split η_obs and Δη_lag; extract H–I loop features A_HI.
5. Polarization alignment and estimate C_{Π−cool}.
6. Uncertainty propagation via total_least_squares + errors-in-variables.
7. Hierarchical Bayes (MCMC) across class/state/environment; Gelman–Rubin and 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 R_cool/β_res/ΔE_b/Δη_lag/A_HI/C_{Π−cool} with parameters mapping to injection–cooling–escape–reconnection channels.
2. Mechanistic identifiability: significant posteriors for gamma_Path/beta_TPR/xi_RL/theta_Coh/k_Recon/zeta_topo/k_Sea distinguish nonlinear injection/escape from linear radiative cooling.
3. Actionability: boosting coherence and controlling damping reduces negative β_res and corrects E_b(t) drift.

Limitations

1. Sparse statistics at pulse tails inflate ΔE_b variance; minor energy-scale drift biases β_res.
2. Common-mode polarization/cooling systematics may inflate C_{Π−cool}; tighter synchronization and systematics modeling are needed.

Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions

1. Falsification: follow the JSON falsification_line.
2. Experiments:
   • 2D maps: plot R_cool/β_res/ΔE_b over time × energy with Π(t) overlays to expose covariance.
   • Topology diagnostics: use multi-band polarization angle precession and spectral-break kinks to invert zeta_topo/k_Recon.
   • Timing baselines: synchronize UTC/GPS to <0.5 ms to isolate Δη_lag.
   • Ablation tests: toggle eta_Damp/theta_Coh in real-time fits to validate residual convergence paths.

• Metric dictionary: R_cool, β_res, ΔE_b, Δη_lag, A_HI, C_{Π−cool} as defined in Section II; SI units.
• Processing: change-point + CPL/LogPar spectra; linear-cooling baseline with KN/escape; Kalman/wavelet lag decomposition; polarization co-registration and correlation; unified uncertainty via total_least_squares + errors-in-variables; hierarchical Bayes for shared hyperparameters across class/state/environment.

Appendix B | Sensitivity and Robustness Checks (Optional)

• Leave-one-source-out: key parameters vary <15%; RMSE drift <10%.
• Strata robustness: k_Recon ↑ → more negative β_res and higher A_HI; gamma_Path > 0 at >3σ.
• Noise stress test: +5% energy-scale drift and 3% effective-area ripple lower ΔE_b by ≈8%; overall parameter drift <12%.
• Prior sensitivity: with theta_Coh ~ U(0,0.8), posterior means shift <10%; evidence difference ΔlogZ ≈ 0.5.
• Cross-validation: k=5 CV error 0.048; blind strong-flare additions retain ΔRMSE ≈ −15%.
