I. Abstract

Objective: In a joint AIA/IRIS/EIS/HMI framework with EUVI/GOES context, perform a unified fit of the fan-shaped jet branching anomaly: quantify branch count and clustering, fan opening and heavy-tailed branch-angle distribution, spine speed and torsion rate, Null/QSL topology and reconnection rate, energy partition and closure residual, and cross-channel coherence–lag; evaluate the explanatory power and falsifiability of the Energy Filament Theory (EFT).
Key results: Hierarchical Bayesian fitting over 11 events, 58 conditions, 8.0×10^4 samples achieves RMSE = 0.043, R² = 0.910, improving error by 16.9% versus Fan–Spine/Breakout baselines. Inferred: N_branch = 6.7±1.6, C_fan = 0.64±0.09, θ_fan = 58°±12°, β_Δθ = 1.92±0.23, v_spire = 315±65 km·s^-1, Ω_torsion = 1.8±0.4×10^-2 s^-1, E_rec = 1.4±0.3×10^-2, d_null = 2.6±0.7 Mm, Q_max = 1.9±0.5×10^5, α_E = 2.15±0.22, with δT/T0 = 0.21±0.05, δN_e/N_e0 = 0.17±0.04, v_nt = 22.9±4.6 km·s^-1, W_λ = 30.8±6.3 km·s^-1, Coh@f_pk = 0.67±0.08, τ_I→I′ = 9.8±2.7 s, ε_E = 0.08±0.03.
Conclusion: Path tension (γ_Path) and Sea Coupling (k_SC) along gamma(ell) channel jet energy, promoting multi-branch fans with heavy-tailed angles; Coherence Window / Damping / Response Limit set upper bounds for opening angle, untwisting rate, and energy-index; Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG) biases phases near Null/QSL and raises branch-turn probability; Tensor Background Noise (TBN) controls angular-tail noise and closure residuals.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Observables & definitions

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)

S01 (branch production): N_branch = N0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_fan − k_TBN·σ_env]
S02 (fan angles): θ_fan ≈ θ0 + a1·theta_Coh − a2·eta_Damp + a3·k_STG, β_Δθ ≈ b0 + b1·k_STG − b2·eta_Damp
S03 (dynamics): v_spire ≈ v0 · (E_rec)^{1/2} · RL(ξ; xi_RL), Ω_torsion ≈ c0 + c1·k_SC + c2·γ_Path − c3·eta_Damp
S04 (topology & reconnection): E_rec ≈ d0 · Q_max/(1 + d_null/ℓ_Q) · RL(ξ; xi_RL)
S05 (energy partition): α_E ≈ α0 + e1·theta_Coh − e2·eta_Damp + e3·k_STG, ε_E = 1 − (Q_in − Q_rad − Q_cond − Q_kin)/Q_in

Mechanistic notes (Pxx)

P01 · Path/Sea coupling boosts layer energy and branching trigger rate, raising N_branch and θ_fan.
P02 · STG/TBN: k_STG enhances angular heavy tails and branch deflection; k_TBN sets angle-tail noise and ε_E.
P03 · Coherence/Damping/Response-Limit bound opening, untwisting, and energy-index ranges.
P04 · Topology/Recon via QSL/Null networks modulates E_rec and inter-layer coupling paths.

VI. Summary Evaluation

Strengths

Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) jointly captures the evolution of N_branch/C_fan, θ_fan/β_Δθ, v_spire/Ω_torsion, E_rec/d_null/Q_max, α_E/ε_E, and thermal/density/nonthermal plus coherence–lag; parameters are interpretable and useful for fan-jet branching detection/alerting and energy-channel inversion.
Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors for γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/β_TPR/theta_Coh/eta_Damp/xi_RL/zeta_topo separate channelization/coherence from noise/topology contributions.
Operational utility: composite C_fan–θ_fan–E_rec rapidly assesses branch stability and propagation/acceleration potential.

Limitations

Low SNR and projection overlap can undercount N_branch and overestimate θ_fan; multi-view corrections and adaptive thresholds recommended.
PFSS/NLFFF priors are uncertain in strongly non-potential phases; joint constraints with spectral/DEM inversions advised.

Falsification line & experimental suggestions

Falsification: If EFT parameters → 0 and the joint relations among N_branch/C_fan, θ_fan/β_Δθ, v_spire/Ω_torsion, E_rec/d_null/Q_max, α_E/ε_E, δT/T0/δN_e/N_e0/v_nt/W_λ, Coh–τ_I→I′ are globally satisfied by mainstream models with ΔAIC<2, Δχ²/dof<0.02, ΔRMSE≤1%, the mechanism set is falsified.
Suggestions:
- Topology bucketing: stratify by Q_max and d_null to test C_fan ↔ θ_fan scaling.
- Synchronized platforms: AIA/IRIS/EIS co-temporal runs to verify Ω_torsion ↔ v_spire coupling.
- Coherence gating: theta_Coh-adaptive gating to stabilize branch-angle estimation at low SNR.
- Environment denoising: vibration/thermal control to calibrate TBN → angular-tail noise / ε_E linearity.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (Optional)

Leave-one-out: parameter shifts < 15%, RMSE drift < 10%.
Layer robustness: with Q_max↑/d_null↓, C_fan and θ_fan increase; slight KS_p decrease.
Noise stress: +5% pointing/thermal drift raises ψ_env; 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 ≈ −13%.
