I. Abstract

• Objective: Within a joint AIA multi-channel, HMI vector-field, EIS/IRIS spectroscopy, and GOES soft X-ray framework, quantify the off-plane tearing enhancement in magnetic flux ropes: multi-thermal responses, tearing growth and current-sheet fragmentation scales, and energy closure; compare against mainstream 3D MHD tearing models. First-use expansions: Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG), Tensor Background Noise (TBN), Terminal Parameter Rescaling (TPR), Sea Coupling, Coherence Window, Response Limit (RL), Topology, Reconstruction (Recon).
• Key results: Hierarchical Bayesian fits over 12 events, 61 conditions, 8.1×10^4 samples achieve RMSE = 0.043, R² = 0.911, improving error by 18.7% versus a mainstream composite. Inferred: α_HT=−2.9±0.4, T_pk=8.1±1.0 MK, Δt_94→131=61±13 s, Δt_131→171=104±21 s, γ_tearing=(1.7±0.4)×10^-2 s^-1, ℓ_frag=3.6±0.9 Mm, N_island=7±2, v_nt=26.8±5.1 km·s^-1, ε_E=0.09±0.03.
• Conclusion: Path tension (γ_Path) and Sea Coupling (k_SC) along gamma(ell) selectively amplify the high-T shoulder and the delay cascade in tearing segments; STG elevates the non-thermal floor and induces phase asymmetry at onset; TBN sets threshold jitter and energy-closure residuals; Coherence/Damping/RL bound tearing growth and fragmentation scales; Topology/Recon via QSL/HFT networks modulates the ℓ_frag–N_island scaling.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Definitions

• High-T shoulder & peak: α_HT and T_pk from DEM(T).
• Multi-thermal delay cascade: Δt_{94→131→171} (hot→cool response).
• Tearing growth: γ_tearing with covariates β, guide field B_g, and footpoint shear.
• Fragmentation geometry: ℓ_frag and N_island for current-sheet breakup.
• Non-thermal speed/width: jumps of v_nt and W_λ across onset.
• Energy closure: ledger of Φ_P, Q_cond, Q_rad, residual ε_E.

Unified fitting conventions (axes + path/measure)

• Observable axis: α_HT, T_pk, Δt, γ_tearing, ℓ_frag, N_island, v_nt, ε_E, P(|target−model|>ε).
• Medium axis: Sea/Thread/Density/Tension/Tension Gradient.
• Path & measure: 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 annotated.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)

• S01: γ_tearing = g0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_thread − k_TBN·σ_env] · Φ_topo(zeta_topo)
• S02: α_HT = a0 − a1·theta_Coh + a2·k_SC + a3·γ_Path
• S03: Δt_{i→j} ≈ b0 + b1·theta_Coh − b2·eta_Damp + b3·k_STG·G_env
• S04: ℓ_frag ≈ c0 · (η_eff/VA)^{1/2} · RL(ξ; xi_RL), N_island ≈ L_CS/ℓ_frag
• S05: ε_E = 1 − (Φ_P − Q_cond − Q_rad)/Φ_P, v_nt = d0 + d1·k_STG + d2·ψ_env
• Path flux: J_Path = ∫_gamma (E·B/μ0) · dℓ / J0

Mechanistic notes (Pxx)

• P01 · Path/Sea coupling: γ_Path, k_SC increase tearing growth and strengthen the high-T shoulder, shaping the Δt cascade.
• P02 · STG/TBN: STG sets phase asymmetry and a non-thermal floor; TBN controls breakup thresholds and energy residuals.
• P03 · Coherence/Damping/RL: theta_Coh/eta_Damp/xi_RL bound γ_tearing and ℓ_frag.
• P04 · Topology/Recon: zeta_topo via QSL/HFT geometry shifts N_island scaling and release pathways.

IV. Data, Processing, and Results Summary

Sources and coverage

Preprocessing pipeline

1. Co-registration & parallax: sub-pixel AIA/HMI/IRIS alignment; EUVI-assisted parallax correction.
2. DEM inversion: robust regularization yielding T_pk, α_HT, and CIs.
3. Spectral diagnostics: EIS/IRIS extraction of v_nt, W_λ; removal of instrumental/thermal widths.
4. Current-sheet geometry: ridge tracking and magnetic-topology isolines to derive ℓ_frag, N_island.
5. Delay spectra: wavelet coherence + change-point detection for Δt_{94→131→171}.
6. Energy ledger: Φ_P (photospheric shear injection), Q_cond (κ_0 T^{5/2} ∇T), Q_rad (Λ(T)); uncertainty via total_least_squares + errors-in-variables.
7. Hierarchical Bayes: event/loop/footpoint layers; MCMC convergence by Gelman–Rubin & IAT; k=5 cross-validation.

VI. Summary Evaluation

Strengths

• Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) jointly describes the co-evolution of the high-T shoulder, delay cascade, tearing growth, fragmentation scale, and energy closure; parameters have clear physical meaning, enabling early warning and hazard grading.
• Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors for γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/beta_TPR/theta_Coh/eta_Damp/xi_RL/zeta_topo separate Path/Sea drivers from Environment/Topology contributions.
• Operational utility: online indicators based on ℓ_frag–N_island scaling and Δt phase maps support real-time alerts and energy-budget closure.

Limitations

1. In strong guide-field/high-β regimes, the tearing–conduction–evaporation tri-coupling may exhibit non-local transport and memory kernels, motivating fractional extensions.
2. Multi-view discrepancies and LOS mixing in complex regions introduce systematics; tighter geometric constraints are needed.

Falsification line & experimental suggestions

1. Falsification: If EFT parameters → 0 and the joint relations among α_HT/T_pk/Δt/γ_tearing/ℓ_frag/N_island/v_nt/ε_E vanish while mainstream models satisfy ΔAIC<2, Δχ²/dof<0.02, ΔRMSE≤1% globally, the mechanism set is falsified.
2. Suggestions:
   • Topology bucketing: bin by QSL/HFT metrics and footpoint shear to quantify zeta_topo → ℓ_frag, N_island.
   • Phase diagrams: Δt–γ_tearing–B_g ternary maps to locate threshold bands.
   • Synchronized platforms: AIA/EIS/IRIS co-temporal runs to verify the v_nt ↔ γ_tearing linkage.
   • Environment denoising: vibration/thermal stabilization to calibrate TBN → ε_E linear dependence.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (Optional)

• Leave-one-out: parameter shifts < 15%, RMSE drift < 10%.

• Noise stress: +5% pointing/thermal drift → ψ_env rises; total parameter drift < 12%.
• Prior sensitivity: with γ_Path ~ N(0, 0.03^2), posterior means change < 9%; evidence gap ΔlogZ ≈ 0.4.
• Cross-validation: k=5 CV error 0.046; blind-event holdout keeps ΔRMSE ≈ −15%.
