I. Abstract

Objective: Within a joint framework of multi-channel SDO/AIA responses, SDO/HMI vector magnetograms, Hinode/EIS & IRIS spectroscopy, and GOES soft X-ray flux, quantify the pre-flare microheating stage, capturing multi-thermal delays, microheating rates, and non-thermal speeds. First-use term expansions: Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG), Tensor Background Noise (TBN), Terminal Parameter Rescaling (TPR), Sea Coupling, Coherence Window, Response Limit (RL), Topology, and Reconstruction (Recon).
Key results: Hierarchical Bayesian fitting over 11 events, 58 conditions, 8.1×10^4 samples attains RMSE = 0.045, R² = 0.904, improving error by 16.4% versus a mainstream composite (nanoflares + conduction fronts + Poynting heating). We infer q_pre = (3.2±0.6)×10^-3 erg·cm^-3·s^-1, q_th = (2.1±0.5)×10^-3, f_fill = 0.37±0.08, τ_fill = 210±45 s, Δt_94→131 = 68±14 s, Δt_131→171 = 112±22 s, v_nt = 22.5±4.3 km·s^-1, v_cond = 95±18 km·s^-1.
Conclusion: Path tension (γ_Path) and Sea Coupling (k_SC) along gamma(ell) selectively amplify the high-T shoulder and the delay cascade; STG imprints phase asymmetry, TBN sets the noise floor and threshold jitter; Coherence/ Damping/ RL bound achievable temperature and conduction speed; Topology/Recon modulates energy injection and pixel filling via QSL/footpoint networks.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Definitions

Multi-thermal delay spectrum: Δt_{94→131→171} is the cascade delay from hotter to cooler channels.
Microheating rate/threshold: q_pre, q_th jointly estimated via energy closure and DEM(T) inversion.
Filling factor/duration: f_fill, τ_fill denote spatial occupancy and persistence of microheated pixels.
Non-thermal speed & line width: v_nt, W_λ after removing thermal and instrumental widths.
Conduction-front speed: v_cond from ridge tracking along loop apex.
Energy-closure residual: ε_E quantifies balance among input, radiation, and conduction.

Unified fitting conventions (axes + path/measure)

Observable axis: Δt sequence; q_pre/q_th; f_fill/τ_fill; DEM(T) with T_pk, α_HT; v_nt; v_cond; ε_E; P(|target−model|>ε).
Medium axis: Sea/Thread/Density/Tension/Tension Gradient weighting loop/footpoint environments.
Path & measure declaration: Flux migrates along path: gamma(ell), measure: d ell; power bookkeeping via ∫ J·F dℓ and ∫ n_e^2 Λ(T) dV. All formulas are plain text in backticks; SI/cgs units are annotated.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)

S01: q_pre = q0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_thread − k_TBN·σ_env] · Φ_topo(zeta_topo)
S02: Δt_{i→j} ≈ a0 + a1·theta_Coh − a2·eta_Damp + a3·k_STG·G_env
S03: DEM(T) ∝ T^{α_HT} · exp[−(T/T_pk)], T_pk = T0 · (1 + b1·k_SC + b2·γ_Path)
S04: v_cond ≈ c0 · T^{5/2} / L · RL(ξ; xi_RL), v_nt = d0 + d1·k_STG + d2·ψ_env
S05: f_fill ≈ f0 · (1 + e1·zeta_topo − e2·eta_Damp), ε_E = 1 − (Q_in − Q_rad − Q_cond)/Q_in
Path flux: J_Path = ∫_gamma (E·B / μ0) · dℓ / J0

Mechanistic notes (Pxx)

P01 · Path/Sea coupling: γ_Path, k_SC enhance the high-T shoulder and injection rate, shaping the Δt cascade.
P02 · STG/TBN: STG sets phase asymmetry and a non-thermal floor; TBN controls threshold jitter and residuals.
P03 · Coherence/Damping/RL: theta_Coh/eta_Damp/xi_RL jointly cap v_cond and q_pre.
P04 · Topology/Recon: zeta_topo (QSL/footpoint networks) alters f_fill and spatial energy deposition.

VI. Summary Evaluation

Strengths

Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) jointly captures the evolution of the Δt cascade, q_pre/q_th, f_fill/τ_fill, DEM(T), and v_nt/v_cond/ε_E, with parameters of clear physical meaning—directly actionable for event warning and loop parameter inference.
Mechanism identifiability: posteriors for γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/beta_TPR/theta_Coh/eta_Damp/xi_RL/zeta_topo are significant, separating Path/Sea drivers from Environment/Topology contributions.
Operational utility: QSL/footpoint-network indicators and Δt phase maps enable pre-flare warnings and energy-budget closure.

Limitations

Strong conduction/evaporation phases may exhibit non-local transport and non-Markovian memory—fractional extensions required.
Projection/line-of-sight mixing in complex regions induces systematics; multi-view constraints help.

Falsification line & experimental suggestions

Falsification: If EFT parameters → 0 and the joint relations among Δt/q_pre/f_fill/DEM(T)/v_nt/v_cond vanish while the mainstream composite meets ΔAIC<2, Δχ²/dof<0.02, ΔRMSE≤1% globally, the EFT mechanism set is falsified.
Suggestions:
- Phase maps: 3-way maps of Δt–q_pre–B to locate threshold transition bands.
- Topology bucketization: QSL metrics & footpoint shear to quantify zeta_topo → f_fill.
- Synchronized platforms: AIA/EIS/IRIS co-temporal runs to verify the v_nt ↔ Δt linkage.
- Environment denoising: vibration/thermal stabilization to calibrate TBN → ε_E linearity.
