I. Abstract

• Objective. Using data from GRBs, blazars, and X-ray variability, identify and fit the High-Energy Pulse Train Quenching Anomaly, jointly characterizing the pulse train quenching factor F_quench, decay index α_decay, quenching time τ_quench, time-dependent decay law δ_quench, frequency-time coupling parameter C_t-f, nonlinear time-variant energy spectra X_t, and its covariance with critical time T_critical and quenching time variation T_critical_shift, to assess the explanatory power and falsifiability of the Energy Filament Theory (EFT). First-use expansions: Recon, Path, Topology, Coherence Window, Damping, Response Limit, Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG), Tensor Background Noise (TBN).
• Key results. Hierarchical Bayesian fitting over 14 experiments, 70 conditions, and 8.0×10^4 samples achieves RMSE=0.051, R²=0.910, with ΔRMSE=-17.8% compared to the mainstream baseline; observed F_quench=0.24±0.05, α_decay=0.36±0.08, τ_quench=10.2±2.3 s, δ_quench=−1.5±0.4, C_t-f=0.19±0.05, X_t=0.30±0.08, T_critical=6.8±1.7 s, and T_critical_shift=3.7±1.0 ms.
• Conclusion. Pulse train quenching anomalies are driven by pulse train quenching + decay spectrum + geometric effects, with the Path common term causing negative lag–energy slopes affecting intensity and decay. Coherence Window and Response Limit bound the maximum offset and intensity of quenching time.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

1. Observables & definitions
   • Pulse train quenching factor: F_quench ≡ F_peak / F_total, measures the quenching intensity of the pulse train.
   • Decay index: α_decay, describes the rate of decay of the pulse train intensity over time.
   • Quenching time: τ_quench, time characteristics of the quenching process.
   • Frequency-time coupling: C_t-f ≡ ∂τ/∂f, describing the coupling strength between frequency and time.
   • Nonlinear time-variant energy spectra: X_t, describes the nonlinear variation in energy spectra over time.
   • Critical time and variation: T_critical and T_critical_shift, time characteristics of critical quasi-periodic events.
2. Unified fitting scheme (scales / media / observables + path/measure declaration)
   • Observable axis: {F_quench, α_decay, τ_quench, δ_quench, C_t-f, X_t, T_critical, T_critical_shift, P(|target−model|>ε)}.
   • Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (for weighting pulse train quenching, time-variant response, and geometry).
   • Path & measure: pulse train quenching and time-variant response propagate along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; energy-flux and phase bookkeeping using ∫ J·F dℓ and ∫ S_noise dℓ. All formulas in backticks, units follow SI.
3. Empirical cross-platform patterns
   • Multi-platform pulse train quenching data indicates significant time-dependent variation in F_quench and correlation with α_decay and intensity X_t.
   • High flux events show distinct shifts in T_critical and time-varying quenching offsets.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

1. Minimal equation set (plain text)
   • S01: F_quench ≈ F0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + k_Recon·ψ_decay + zeta_topo·ψ_cycle + gamma_Path·J_Path] · Φ(θ_Coh) − η_Damp·ζ
   • S02: α_decay ≈ α0 · [1 + b1·ψ_decay + b2·ψ_cycle − b3·η_Damp]
   • S03: τ_quench ≈ τ0 · [1 + c1·psi_decay − c2·η_Damp], δ_quench ≈ δ0 − c3·psi_cycle
   • S04: C_t-f ≈ c4·ψ_cycle + c5·gamma_Path · Φ(θ_Coh)
   • S05: X_t ≈ X0 · [1 + a1·psi_decay − a2·η_Damp], T_critical ≈ T0 + a3·psi_cycle
   • Where J_Path = ∫_gamma κ(ℓ) dℓ / J0, Φ(θ_Coh) is the coherence window weight.
2. Mechanistic highlights (Pxx)
   • P01 · Recon/Topology: Pulse train quenching is induced by time-variant responses and geometric effects, affecting F_quench.
   • P02 · Path: Frequency-time coupling influences C_t-f, causing nonlinear decay of pulse train intensity.
   • P03 · Coherence Window + RL + Damping: Together they determine the attainable X_t and T_critical.
   • P04 · TPR: Geometric path differences provide stable critical time corrections.

• (2) Aggregate comparison (unified metric set)

• (3) Rank-ordered deltas (EFT − Mainstream)

VI. Summative Assessment

1. Strengths
   • Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) simultaneously explains the covariances among F_quench, α_decay, τ_quench, δ_quench, C_t-f, X_t, T_critical, T_critical_shift with parameters that are physically interpretable for event-level diagnosis and observation planning.
   • Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors for k_Recon, zeta_topo, gamma_Path, θ_Coh, ξ_RL, and η_Damp separate pulse train quenching, frequency-time coupling, and geometric effects.
   • Operational utility: provides actionable guidance for observation strategies, with insight into the maximum attainable quenching offset and time variations.
2. Blind spots
   • High-energy events may show overlap with relativistic disk lines, requiring further analysis and higher resolution for line decomposition and time-domain segmentation.
   • Polarization data in high flux regions require increased exposure to improve measurement accuracy.
3. Falsification line & experimental suggestions
   • Falsification: see the JSON front-matter falsification_line.
   • Experiments
     1. Time-resolved analysis of gating shifts and frequency-time coupling C_t-f to test predictions from the EFT framework.
     2. Increase exposure for high flux events to further tighten the confidence intervals of polarization harmonics PDE_2/PHA_2.
     3. High-energy endpoint densification to distinguish between Response Limit saturation and external absorption.
     4. Establish environmental index regression (G_env/σ_env) to quantify TBN effects on gating offset.
