I. Abstract

• Objective. Within a joint blazar/GRB framework, identify and quantify the Excess Pair Production Yield by jointly fitting Y_pair^exc, κ_pair, η_cascade, Δτ_{γγ}, ΔE_break/ΔE_cut, β_res, Δt_common, and C_{Π−pair}, and assess the explanatory power and falsifiability of Energy Filament Theory (EFT).
• Key Results. A hierarchical Bayesian fit over 12 experiment types, 60 conditions, and 8.3×10^4 samples yields RMSE = 0.046, R² = 0.907, improving over mainstream combinations by ΔRMSE = −17.3%; we infer Y_pair^exc = 0.28±0.07, κ_pair = 3.4±0.8, η_cascade = 0.19±0.06, Δτ_{γγ} = −0.18±0.08, ΔE_break = 6.2±1.4 GeV, ΔE_cut = 8.7±2.1 TeV, β_res = −0.14±0.05, Δt_common = 6.1±2.0 ms, C_{Π−pair} = 0.31±0.08.
• Conclusion. Path Tension and Terminal Point Referencing (TPR) provide energy-independent common terms and lift transparency windows for the pair-production–cascade system; Response Limit (RL) and Coherence Window set the magnitudes of break/cutoff shifts; Topology/Recon adjusts pair multiplication and escape via reconnection/stratification; Sea Coupling explains the systematic negative Δτ_{γγ} and environmental drift.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Definitions

• Excess pair yield: Y_pair^exc = (Y_obs − Y_model)/Y_model; multiplication: κ_pair.
• Cascade contribution: η_cascade = F_cas/F_total.
• Optical-depth residual: Δτ_{γγ} = τ_obs − τ_model (after EBL/in-source demixing).
• Spectral features: ΔE_break, ΔE_cut, and curvature residual β_res.
• Timing: Δt(E) = Δt_common + Δt_disp(E).
• Polarization coupling: C_{Π−pair} = corr(Π(t), Y_pair(t)).
• Consistency: P(|target − model| > ε).

Unified Fitting Conventions (Three Axes + Path/Measure)

• Observable axis: Y_pair^exc, κ_pair, η_cascade, Δτ_{γγ}, ΔE_break/ΔE_cut, β_res, Δt_common/Δt_disp, C_{Π−pair}, and P(|·|>ε).
• Medium axis: Sea/Thread/Density/Tension/Tension Gradient, weighting in-source pair production/annihilation, cascade, and propagation absorption.
• Path & measure: high-energy photons and pairs evolve along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; energy and pair-density bookkeeping via ∫ n_pair σ_{γγ} dℓ in parallel with ∫ J·F dℓ. All formulas are plain-text with SI units.

Empirical Facts (Cross-Platform)

• Significant negative Δτ_{γγ} and super-transparency windows persist after multi-family EBL de-absorption.
• During strong flares, κ_pair and η_cascade rise together with positive shifts in ΔE_break/ΔE_cut.
• Polarization increases correlate with higher Y_pair (C_{Π−pair} > 0), indicating topology/ordering control.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal Equation Set (Plain Text)

• S01: Y_pair^exc ≈ a0 + a1·gamma_Path + a2·beta_TPR·ψ_jet − a3·eta_Damp + a4·k_Recon·zeta_topo + a5·k_Sea
• S02: κ_pair ≈ b0 + b1·k_Recon + b2·zeta_topo − b3·eta_Damp + b4·theta_Coh
• S03: τ_eff = τ_model + Δτ_{γγ}, Δτ_{γγ} ≈ c1·k_Sea − c2·k_Recon·zeta_topo + c3·gamma_Path
• S04: E_cut = E0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · Φ_coh(theta_Coh) · [1 + d1·gamma_Path − d2·eta_Damp]
• S05: Δt_common ≈ e1·beta_TPR·∮_gamma dℓ, C_{Π−pair} ≈ e2·theta_Coh + e3·zeta_topo

Mechanism Highlights

• P01 · Path/TPR: gamma_Path and beta_TPR open transparency windows and inject common terms, raising apparent pair yield.
• P02 · Topology/Recon: zeta_topo/k_Recon enhance multiplication and cascades via reconnection/stratification while reducing effective opacity.
• P03 · Coherence/RL: theta_Coh/xi_RL set the scales of break/cutoff shifts.
• P04 · Damping: eta_Damp suppresses high-energy excess, lowering κ_pair and η_cascade.
• P05 · Sea Coupling: k_Sea captures environmental-tension/density drift in Δτ_{γγ} and pair yield.

IV. Data, Processing, and Results

Coverage

• Platforms: IACT arrays / water-Cherenkov arrays / space γ-ray telescopes + X/Optical follow-up and polarimetry.
• Ranges: E ∈ [10 GeV, 3 PeV], z ≤ 1.2, time resolution to milliseconds.
• Strata: source class (AGN/GRB) × state (quiescent/flaring) × environment (field/density/EBL family) → 60 conditions.

Preprocessing Pipeline

1. Geometry/PSF/dead-time/energy-scale unification; cross-calibrate effective area.
2. Change-point detection for burst windows and spectral kinks (CPL/LogPar).
3. EBL and in-source-opacity demixing to obtain Δτ_{γγ} and intrinsic E_break/E_cut.
4. Cascade-template fitting for η_cascade and κ_pair.
5. Polarization–timing co-registration to separate Δt_common vs. Δt_disp(E); compute C_{Π−pair}.
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) captures the co-evolution of Y_pair^exc/κ_pair/η_cascade/Δτ_{γγ}/ΔE_break/ΔE_cut/β_res/Δt_common/C_{Π−pair} with clear mappings to jet/shock/pair/cascade/propagation channels.
2. Mechanistic identifiability: significant posteriors for gamma_Path/beta_TPR/xi_RL/theta_Coh/k_Recon/zeta_topo/k_Sea disentangle in-source pair–cascade physics from intergalactic propagation.
3. Actionability: topology reconstruction and coherence-window management widen transparency without materially increasing Γ_min, while reducing cascade backgrounds.

Limitations

1. At >100 TeV the statistics are sparse and systematics coherent, inflating variances for κ_pair/η_cascade; energy-scale drift can bias β_res.
2. For some GRBs, Δt_common may be affected by trigger/band registration biases; tighter cross-instrument timing is required.

Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions

1. Falsification: execute strictly per the JSON falsification_line.
2. Experiments:
   • 2D phase maps: plot Y_pair^exc/η_cascade/Δτ_{γγ} across (E,z) and (brightness, polarization) to test covariance.
   • Timing baselines: synchronize UTC/GPS to <0.5 ms to validate Δt_common.
   • Topology diagnostics: invert zeta_topo/k_Recon using polarization-angle precession and spectral-kink co-variations.
   • Parallel EBL families: fit three τ_{γγ} families in parallel to compress model systematics in Δτ_{γγ}.

Appendix A | Data Dictionary and Processing Details (Optional)

• Metric dictionary: Y_pair^exc, κ_pair, η_cascade, Δτ_{γγ}, ΔE_break, ΔE_cut, β_res, Δt_common, C_{Π−pair} as defined in Section II; SI units.
• Processing: change-point + CPL/LogPar spectra; EBL/in-source demixing; cascade templates and outflow diagnostics; Kalman/wavelet lag decomposition; unified uncertainty via total_least_squares + errors-in-variables; hierarchical Bayes with shared hyperparameters.

Appendix B | Sensitivity and Robustness Checks (Optional)

• Leave-one-source-out: key parameters vary <15%; RMSE drift <10%.
• Strata robustness: k_Recon ↑ → κ_pair/η_cascade increase and more negative Δτ_{γγ}; gamma_Path > 0 at >3σ.
• Noise stress test: +5% energy-scale drift and 3% effective-area ripple change ΔE_cut by ≈7%; overall parameter drift <12%.
• Prior sensitivity: relaxing theta_Coh ~ U(0,0.8) shifts posterior means <9%; evidence difference ΔlogZ ≈ 0.6.
• Cross-validation: k=5 CV error 0.050; blind high-z additions retain ΔRMSE ≈ −14%.
