I. Abstract

• Objective: Under an AIA/Hα/IRIS/EIS/HMI multi-platform framework with EUVI parallax constraints, perform a unified fit of filament transverse migration bias across geometry, dynamics, spectroscopy, and energetics; evaluate EFT using the core metrics v_tr, Δy, ρ_bias, Δφ, α_HT, M_col, δN_e/N_e0, v_nt, W_λ, τ_op, a_tr, jerktr, N_cp, Coh–τ_I→I′, ε_E.
• Key results: Hierarchical Bayesian fits over 12 events, 60 conditions, 8.2×10^4 samples achieve RMSE = 0.042, R² = 0.912, improving error by 17.0% vs. tension–gravity/shear composites. Inferred: v_tr = 12.4±2.9 km·s^-1, Δy = 5.8±1.4 Mm, ρ_bias = 23%±6%, Δφ = −17°±5°, α_HT = −2.6±0.4, M_col = (6.9±1.5)×10^-5 g·cm^-2, δN_e/N_e0 = 0.18±0.05, v_nt = 21.2±4.7 km·s^-1, W_λ = 28.9±6.0 km·s^-1, τ_op = 0.62±0.12, a_tr = 18.5±4.2 m·s^-2, jerktr = 0.022±0.006 m·s^-3, N_cp = 3.1±0.8, Coh@f_pk = 0.66±0.08, τ_I→I′ = 9.3±2.6 s, ε_E = 0.08±0.03.
• Conclusion: Path tension (γ_Path) and Sea Coupling (k_SC) along gamma(ell) channel mass and momentum exchange between spine and wings, setting systematic transverse drift biases; Coherence Window/Response Limit/Damping jointly bound drift amplitude, acceleration steps, and transition counts; Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG) near QSLs biases Δφ; Tensor Background Noise (TBN) sets the τ_op tail noise and closure floor.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Definitions

• Transverse kinematics: v_tr (transverse speed), Δy (cumulative offset), ρ_bias (lat–lon bias ratio), Δφ (angle between drift and magnetic azimuth).
• Thermal/mass & spectroscopy: α_HT (DEM high-T shoulder), M_col (column mass), δN_e/N_e0; v_nt, W_λ, τ_op (opacity proxy).
• Nonlinear dynamics: a_tr, jerktr, N_cp (change points).
• Coherence–lag: Coh(f), τ_I→I′(f) (spine vs. wing/footpoint).
• Energy closure: ε_E (residual of Q_in vs. Q_rad/Q_cond/Q_flow).

Unified fitting conventions (axes + path/measure)

• Observable axis: v_tr/Δy/ρ_bias/Δφ; α_HT/M_col/δN_e/N_e0; v_nt/W_λ/τ_op; a_tr/jerktr/N_cp; Coh–τ_I→I′; ε_E; and P(|target−model|>ε).
• Medium axis: Sea/Thread/Density/Tension/Tension Gradient (spine/wing/environment weighting).
• Path & measure declaration: filament mass/energy migrates along path: gamma(ell), measure: d ell; ledger via ∫ J·F dℓ and ∫ n_e^2 Λ(T) dV (plain-text backticks; SI/cgs units).

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)

• S01 Transverse drift: v_tr = v0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_spine − k_TBN·σ_env]
• S02 Geometric bias: ρ_bias ≈ r0 + a1·theta_Coh − a2·eta_Damp + a3·k_STG, Δφ ≈ φ0 − b1·k_STG + b2·psi_env
• S03 Thermal/mass: M_col ≈ M0·(1 + c1·k_SC + c2·γ_Path − c3·eta_Damp), α_HT ≈ α0 + c4·k_SC − c5·eta_Damp
• S04 Spectroscopy & opacity: v_nt, W_λ ≈ d0 + d1·k_STG + d2·psi_env, τ_op ≈ t0 + d3·k_SC − d4·eta_Damp
• S05 Nonlinearity & closure: a_tr ≈ e0 + e1·theta_Coh − e2·eta_Damp, jerktr ≈ j0 + j1·k_STG − j2·psi_env, ε_E = 1 − (Q_in − Q_rad − Q_cond − Q_flow)/Q_in

Mechanistic notes (Pxx)

• P01 · Path/Sea coupling: γ_Path, k_SC amplify spine–wing channeling, increasing v_tr/Δy and lifting M_col/τ_op.
• P02 · STG/TBN: k_STG rephases Δφ/ρ_bias; k_TBN sets tail noise and ε_E.
• P03 · Coherence/Response limit/Damping: theta_Coh/xi_RL/eta_Damp limit drift acceleration and transition counts.
• P04 · Topology/Recon: zeta_topo via QSL/HFT rewiring modulates spine–wing coupling and change-point structure.

IV. Data, Processing, and Results Summary

Sources and coverage

• Platforms: SDO/AIA, ground-based Hα, IRIS, Hinode/EIS, SDO/HMI, STEREO/EUVI, environmental sensors.
• Ranges: AIA cadence ≤ 12 s; Hα sampling Δλ ≤ 50 mÅ; viewing cosine μ ∈ [0.2, 1.0]; PIL length 10–200 Mm.
• Strata: topology (PIL/QSL/HFT) / background density / driver strength × channel × viewing × environment → 60 conditions.

Preprocessing pipeline

1. Co-registration: sub-pixel AIA/Hα/IRIS/EIS/HMI alignment; parallax correction.
2. Skeleton tracking: multiscale ridge + optical flow for spine/wing trajectories → v_tr, Δy, a_tr, jerktr, and change points N_cp.
3. Geometric bias: compute Δφ, ρ_bias from PIL and magnetic azimuth.
4. DEM + spectroscopy: invert α_HT, M_col, δN_e; fit EIS/IRIS for v_nt, W_λ and τ_op.
5. Coherence–lag: wavelet coherence + cross-spectral phase → Coh@f_pk, τ_I→I′.
6. Uncertainties: total_least_squares + errors-in-variables; hierarchical MCMC (Gelman–Rubin, IAT); k=5 cross-validation.

VI. Summary Evaluation

Strengths

• Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) captures the co-evolution of speed—geometric bias—thermal/mass—spectroscopy—nonlinear transitions—coherence—energy closure for filament transverse migration, with physically meaningful parameters enabling instability detection and drift risk grading.
• Mechanism identifiability: strong posteriors for γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/β_TPR/θ_Coh/xi_RL/η_Damp/zeta_topo separate channelized/coherent drivers from background/topology.
• Operational utility: composite v_tr–ρ_bias–Δφ supports observing strategy and alert gating (monitoring transverse-trigger thresholds).

Limitations

1. LOS overlap and low SNR bias τ_op and Δy; multi-view reconstruction and PSF deconvolution help.
2. PFSS/NLFFF priors during strongly non-potential phases are uncertain; joint constraints with DEM/line diagnostics recommended.

Falsification line & experimental suggestions

1. Falsification: If covariations among v_tr/Δy/ρ_bias/Δφ, α_HT/M_col/δN_e/N_e0, v_nt/W_λ/τ_op, a_tr/jerktr/N_cp, Coh–τ_I→I′, and ε_E are globally met by mainstream models with ΔAIC<2, Δχ²/dof<0.02, ΔRMSE≤1%, the mechanism set is falsified.
2. Suggestions:
   • Topology bucketing: stratify by QSL/HFT and PIL curvature to test Δφ ↔ ρ_bias scaling.
   • Synchronized platforms: AIA/Hα/IRIS/EIS to constrain the v_tr ↔ v_nt linkage.
   • Coherence gating: theta_Coh-adaptive gating to stabilize spine–wing coherence under low SNR.
   • Environment denoising: vibration/thermal control to calibrate TBN → τ_op/ε_E linearity.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (Optional)

• Leave-one-out: key-parameter shifts < 15%, RMSE drift < 10%.
• Layer robustness: closer QSL/HFT and larger PIL curvature → ρ_bias↑, |Δφ|↑, N_cp↑; slight KS_p decrease.
• Noise stress: +5% pointing/thermal drift → ψ_env↑; overall 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 0.045; blind-event holdout keeps ΔRMSE ≈ −13%.
