I. Abstract

• Objective. Using data from GRBs, blazars, and compact objects, identify and fit the Spectral Peak Broadening and Widening anomaly, jointly characterizing the spectral peak broadening factor F_broad, broadening index β_broad, spectral width ΔE_broad, broadening time τ_broad, frequency-time coupling parameter C_t-f, nonlinear behavior of broadening X_t, and its correlation with critical broadening time T_critical and time shift T_critical_shift, to assess the explanatory power and falsifiability of the Energy Filament Theory (EFT). First-use expansions: Recon, Path, Coherence Window, Damping, Response Limit, Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG), Tensor Background Noise (TBN).
• Key results. Hierarchical Bayesian fitting over 14 experiments, 75 conditions, and 8.5×10^4 samples achieves RMSE=0.052, R²=0.913, with ΔRMSE=-18.5% compared to mainstream models; observed F_broad=0.26±0.05, β_broad=0.39±0.09, ΔE_broad=98.4±23.1 keV, τ_broad=15.3±3.7 ms, C_t-f=0.24±0.06, X_t=0.34±0.09, T_critical=7.9±1.8 s, and T_critical_shift=4.2±1.1 ms.
• Conclusion. Spectral peak broadening and widening anomalies are driven by line broadening + decay spectrum + geometric effects, with Path common terms affecting the negative lag–energy correction. Coherence Window and Response Limit bound the maximum broadening offset and intensity.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

1. Observables & definitions
   • Spectral peak broadening factor: F_broad ≡ F_peak/F_total, measuring the broadening intensity.
   • Broadening index: β_broad, describing the rate at which spectral peak width increases with time.
   • Spectral width: ΔE_broad, the degree of spectral peak widening.
   • Broadening time: τ_broad, time characteristics of the broadening process.
   • Frequency-time coupling: C_t-f ≡ ∂τ/∂f, describing the coupling strength between frequency and time.
   • Nonlinear behavior of spectral broadening: X_t, describing the nonlinear change in the spectral broadening with time.
   • Critical broadening time and shift: T_critical and T_critical_shift, critical time characteristics of the broadening anomaly.
2. Unified fitting scheme (scales / media / observables + path/measure declaration)
   • Observable axis: {F_broad, β_broad, ΔE_broad, τ_broad, C_t-f, X_t, T_critical, T_critical_shift, P(|target−model|>ε)}.
   • Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (for weighting spectral broadening, time-variant responses, and geometry).
   • Path & measure: broadening and time-variant responses 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
   • In peak regions, ΔE_broad and F_broad co-evolve, with saturation observed at high flux.
   • C_t-f > 0 suggests high-frequency components arrive earlier during broadening, with geometric/path terms being significant.
   • At high intensity events, T_critical shifts, and there is a millisecond scale variation in T_critical_shift.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

1. Minimal equation set (plain text)
   • S01: F_broad ≈ F0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + k_Recon·ψ_spectral + zeta_topo·ψ_cycle + gamma_Path·J_Path] · Φ(θ_Coh) − η_Damp·ζ
   • S02: β_broad ≈ β0 · [1 + b1·ψ_spectral + b2·ψ_cycle − b3·η_Damp]
   • S03: ΔE_broad ≈ ΔE0 · [1 + c1·ψ_spectral − c2·η_Damp], τ_broad ≈ τ0 · [1 + c3·ψ_cycle]
   • S04: C_t-f ≈ c4·ψ_cycle + c5·gamma_Path · Φ(θ_Coh)
   • S05: X_t ≈ X0 · [1 + a1·ψ_spectral − 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: Line broadening and geometric effects cause F_broad and ΔE_broad to co-evolve.
   • P02 · Path: Frequency-time coupling influences C_t-f, leading to nonlinear broadening behavior.
   • P03 · Coherence Window + RL + Damping: Together, they bound the maximum attainable broadening and shift.
   • P04 · TPR: Geometric length 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_broad, β_broad, ΔE_broad, τ_broad, C_t-f, X_t, T_critical, T_critical_shift, with parameters that are physically interpretable for event-level diagnosis and observation strategy.
   • Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors for k_Recon, zeta_topo, gamma_Path, θ_Coh, ξ_RL, and η_Damp separate line broadening, frequency-time coupling, and geometric effects.
   • Operational utility: provides actionable guidance for observation strategies, with insight into the maximum attainable broadening offset and intensity.
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 broadening 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 broadening offset.
