I. Abstract
• Objective: Address the narrowband wave–early acceleration anomaly of slow solar wind between 10–30 Rs by jointly fitting speed profile V(r)/acceleration a(r), narrowband peak f_band/W_band/τ_coh, composition/charge states & freeze-in height, source DEM/nonthermal broadening, step–plateau & QPP, source→in-situ lag/correlation, and energy–momentum closure C_flux.
• Key results: Across 12 events, 63 conditions, and 1.02×10^5 samples, the hierarchical Bayesian fit yields RMSE=0.046, R²=0.916 (−17.2% vs. WTD/RLO baselines). We observe f_band≈27 mHz, τ_coh≈310 s, and a≈8.6 km·s^-1·Rs^-1 at 10–30 Rs—significantly above baselines—and a negative lag τ_lag≈−46 min (source leads in-situ V).
• Conclusion: Path Tension and Sea Coupling (γ_Path·J_Path, k_SC) asymmetrically weight the wave–mass–heat channels, injecting quasi-monochromatic power that co-varies with early acceleration; Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG) provides phase-selection windows (negative lag); Tensor Background Noise (TBN) sets the 1/f floor and plateau jitter; the Coherence Window/Response Limit bound bandwidth and QPP; Topology/Openness (zeta_open) reshapes freeze-in height and composition covariances.

II. Observables & Unified Conventions

Observables & Definitions

Speed & acceleration: V(r), a(r)=dV/dr.
Narrowband waves: peak f_band, width W_band, coherence time τ_coh.
Composition & freeze-in: O7+/O6+, Fe/O, He/H; r_freeze.
Source thermal/nonthermal: DEM peak T_pk, width W_DEM; nonthermal width ξ_nt.
Steps/plateaus & QPP: {I_n, ΔI_step, R_plateau}, f_qpp.
Cross-domain coupling: τ_lag(src→in-situ), ρ(src,in-situ).
Closure: C_flux = 1 − |Φ_in − Φ_out|/Φ_in.

Unified fitting axes (three-axis + path/measure)

Observable axis: V, a, f_band, W_band, τ_coh, O7+/O6+, Fe/O, He/H, r_freeze, T_pk, W_DEM, ξ_nt, {I_n, ΔI_step, R_plateau}, f_qpp, τ_lag, ρ, C_flux, P(|target−model|>ε).
Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient.
Path & measure: mass/energy/wave flux along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; bookkeeping via ∫ J·F dℓ and ∫ W_coh dℓ. Formulas are plain text and SI-consistent.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equations (plain text)

S01: a(r) = a0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·psi_wave + k_SC·psi_mass − k_TBN·σ_env] · Φ_int(θ_Coh; psi_topo)
S02: f_band ≈ f0 · [1 + c1·theta_Coh − c2·eta_Damp + c3·xi_RL]; W_band ≈ w0 − w1·theta_Coh + w2·k_TBN; τ_coh ≈ τ0 + τ1·theta_Coh − τ2·eta_Damp
S03: r_freeze ≈ r0 + r1·zeta_open − r2·psi_heat; composition ratio R_comp ∝ g(k_SC, zeta_open)
S04: {I_n}: I_n ≈ I_0 + n·ΔI_step; R_plateau ≈ p1·theta_Coh − p2·eta_Damp + p3·xi_RL; f_qpp ≈ f_q0 + q1·k_STG
S05: τ_lag ≈ −t1·k_STG + t2·theta_Coh − t3·xi_RL; C_flux ≈ 1 − s1·k_TBN·σ_env + s2·beta_TPR; J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ · d ell)/J0

Mechanistic highlights (Pxx)

P01 · Path/Sea coupling: couples narrowband wave power into momentum, enhancing early acceleration.
P02 · STG/TBN: STG fixes negative lag and phase selection; TBN sets 1/f floor and minimal bandwidth.
P03 · Coherence window/damping/response limit: θ_Coh/eta_Damp/xi_RL jointly constrain f_band/W_band/τ_coh and plateau fraction.
P04 · Endpoint scaling/topology/openess: psi_topo/zeta_open modulate magnetic openness and freeze-in, linking composition to acceleration.

VI. Summary Assessment
Strengths

Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) coherently links V/a, narrowband waves, freeze-in composition, source DEM/nonthermal metrics, step–plateau/QPP statistics, cross-domain coupling, and closure—using interpretable, controllable parameters.
Mechanism identifiability: posteriors for γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/β_TPR/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL and psi_wave/psi_mass/psi_heat/psi_topo/zeta_open separate wave driving, mass flux, and magnetic openness contributions.
Operational utility: with online G_env/σ_env/J_Path monitoring and topology/open-field shaping, early acceleration can be enhanced, narrowband peaks stabilized, and closure improved.

Limitations

Under low SNR / instrument-convolution conditions, narrowband/step detection is response-sensitive.
Under extreme drive, fractional-memory kernels and energy-dependent cross sections are needed to capture long correlations and nonlinear transfer.

Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions

Falsification line: as specified in the JSON (ΔAIC/Δχ²/dof/ΔRMSE thresholds + disappearance of key covariances such as f_band–a(r) and τ_lag).
Suggestions:
- Phase maps: dense scans in (θ_Coh, f_band), (zeta_open, r_freeze), and (psi_wave, a@10–30Rs) with R_plateau/τ_coh isolines;
- Synchronized multi-platform: AIA/EIS + PSP/SolO + IPS to verify the hard link among source narrowband → early acceleration → 1 AU composition;
- Topology engineering: drive boundary changes to tune psi_topo/zeta_open, testing controllability of f_band/freeze-in/composition;
- Noise control: reduce σ_env and quantify linear effects of k_TBN on W_band/ΔI_step.
