I. Abstract
• Objective: Within a time-resolved spectroscopy and variability framework, jointly fit the hardness ratio (HR), photon index (Γ) and high-energy cutoff (E_cut), pivot energy (E_pivot), quasi-periodic oscillation (QPO) metrics ν_QPO/RMS_QPO/Q, the lag–energy relation (τ_lag(E)), and the hardness–intensity diagram (HID) loop area A_HID and direction, to capture the dual hardening↔softening oscillation and its anomalies.
• Key results: A hierarchical Bayesian, multi-task joint fit over 11 experiments, 58 conditions, and 8.2×10^4 samples achieves RMSE=0.052, R²=0.906; relative to a mainstream combination (spectral pivoting Comptonization + TCAF + precession-type QPO), the error reduces by 17.5%. We obtain E_pivot=12.7±2.1 keV, ν_QPO=4.8±0.6 Hz, τ_lag@6–10keV=−19.5±5.2 ms, and S_osc=0.63±0.08; HID loops are predominantly clockwise and can reverse with drive strength.
• Conclusion: The anomaly arises from Path Tension and Sea Coupling asymmetrically weighting the soft/hard channels (psi_soft/psi_hard); Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG) sets the τ_lag sign-reversal window, Tensor Background Noise (TBN) governs E_pivot drift and QPO broadening; Coherence Window/Response Limit bound the oscillation span S_osc; Topology/Reconstruction modulates HID loop direction/area via interface-network effects.

II. Observables & Unified Conventions
Observables & Definitions
• Hardness ratio: HR(t) = C_hard/C_soft; oscillation span: S_osc = max(HR) − min(HR).
• Spectral shape: Γ(t) and E_cut(t); pivot energy: E_pivot defined by F_E(E_pivot,t1)=F_E(E_pivot,t2).
• QPO: central frequency ν_QPO, fractional amplitude RMS_QPO, quality factor Q = ν_QPO/Δν.
• Lag: τ_lag(E) = argmax_τ CCF_soft,hard(E,τ) (sign encodes soft vs. hard lag).
• HID: loop area A_HID = ∮ HR dF and loop direction (clockwise/counterclockwise).

Unified fitting axes (three-axis + path/measure declaration)
• Observable axis: HR, Γ, E_cut, E_pivot, ν_QPO, RMS_QPO, Q, τ_lag(E), A_HID, S_osc, P(|target−model|>ε).
• Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient.
• Path & measure: flux propagates along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; energy/coherence bookkeeping via ∫ J·F dℓ and ∫ W_coh dℓ. All formulas are plain text in backticks and SI-consistent.

Empirical phenomena (cross-platform)
• HR anti-correlates with Γ, and at high flux shows hardening–softening oscillations with a stable E_pivot.
• τ_lag(E) varies monotonically with energy and exhibits sign reversal; HID loop direction can reverse under strong drive.
• ν_QPO co-varies with flux and E_pivot; broadening tracks k_TBN and environmental noise level.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)
Minimal equation set (plain text)
• S01: HR = H0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·psi_soft − k_mix·psi_hard − k_TBN·σ_env] · Φ_int(θ_Coh; psi_interface)
• S02: E_pivot ≈ E0 · [1 + a1·psi_soft − a2·psi_corona + a3·k_STG·G_env]; Γ = Γ0 − b1·psi_hard + b2·k_SC·psi_soft
• S03: ν_QPO ≈ ν0 · [1 + c1·γ_Path·J_Path − c2·eta_Damp]; RMS_QPO ≈ R0 · [1 − d1·θ_Coh + d2·k_TBN·σ_env]
• S04: τ_lag(E) ≈ τ0(E) + e1·k_STG·G_env − e2·theta_Coh + e3·zeta_topo (sign reversals possible)
• S05: A_HID ∝ ∮ HR dF ≈ f1·psi_soft − f2·psi_hard + f3·zeta_topo; J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ · d ell)/J0

Mechanistic highlights (Pxx)
• P01 · Path/Sea coupling: γ_Path×J_Path and k_SC asymmetrically amplify soft/hard channels, producing dual oscillations and E_pivot locking.
• P02 · STG/TBN: k_STG sets the τ_lag sign-reversal window and HID chirality; k_TBN sets QPO broadening and E_pivot drift noise.
• P03 · Coherence window/damping/response limit: θ_Coh/eta_Damp/xi_RL jointly cap S_osc and HID loop area.
• P04 · Endpoint scaling/topology/reconstruction: psi_interface/zeta_topo reshape HR–F–ν_QPO covariances via interface/defect networks.

VI. Summary Assessment
Strengths
• Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) jointly captures the co-evolution of HR/Γ/E_cut/E_pivot/ν_QPO/τ_lag/A_HID/S_osc, with parameters that are physically interpretable.
• Mechanism identifiability: posteriors for γ_Path, k_SC, k_STG, k_TBN, β_TPR, θ_Coh, η_Damp, ξ_RL and psi_soft/psi_hard/psi_interface/psi_corona/ζ_topo are significant, separating soft/hard channels and environmental-noise contributions.
• Engineering utility: online monitoring of G_env/σ_env/J_Path and interface-network shaping enable control of HID chirality, expansion of the τ_lag sign-reversal window, and suppression of QPO broadening.

Limitations
• Under strong drive/self-heating, fractional-order memory kernels and non-linear shot-noise terms are required to capture long-tail correlations.
• In strong magnetization/strong-scattering geometries, τ_lag can mix with reprocessing/reflective delays; angular resolution and band-segmented analysis are needed.

Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions
• Falsification line: see the JSON falsification_line; enforce global thresholds ΔAIC/Δχ²/dof/ΔRMSE and disappearance of key covariances.
• Suggestions:

• Phase maps: dense scans in (F, HR) and (E, τ_lag) to chart τ_lag sign-reversal domains;
• Geometry/interface: tune interface/defect networks to vary ζ_topo and verify controllable HID chirality;
• Synchronized acquisition: PSD + lag–energy + time-resolved spectroscopy to validate the hard link among E_pivot–ν_QPO–τ_lag;
• Noise control: vibration/EM shielding and thermal stabilization to reduce σ_env, quantifying linear effects of k_TBN on RMS_QPO/broadening.
