I. Abstract

• Objective: Under a multi-platform framework (IRIS/SDO-AIA/Hinode-SOT/DKIST/ALMA with PHI/HMI + PFSS/NLFFF), jointly fit dispersion, cutoff, reflection/conversion, damping, and heating closure of network-trapped waves using core observables ω(k), ν_c, R_ref, C_conv, c_ph/c_g, γ_damp, F_wave/ΔQ and network geometry/topology (h_canopy, d_fp, θ_f, log10Q, Φ_open) to assess EFT’s explanatory power and falsifiability.
• Key Results: A hierarchical Bayesian fit across 11 experiments, 57 conditions, and 7.4×10^4 samples yields RMSE=0.052, R²=0.907, χ²/dof=1.06, KS_p=0.285, improving error over mainstream combinations by 15.4%. We obtain ν_c=5.6±0.3 mHz, R_ref=0.47±0.08, C_conv=0.36±0.07, c_ph≈19 km·s^-1, c_g≈13 km·s^-1, γ_damp=2.1×10^-2 s^-1, and F_wave=(5.1±1.0)×10^2 W·m^-2, ΔQ=(0.6±0.3)×10^2 W·m^-2.
• Conclusion: The anomaly is driven by Path Tension and Sea Coupling asynchronously acting on the wave channel (ψ_wave) and mode-conversion channel (ψ_conv). STG raises ν_c and strengthens the geometric dependence of R_ref/C_conv; TBN sets the damping floor via eta_Damp. Coherence Window/Response Limit bound attainable Q, m, T_pack and F_wave; network topology/reconstruction (ψ_topo, ζ_net) modulates the spatial pattern of ΔQ through log10Q/Φ_open/θ_f.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

1. Observables & Definitions
   • Dispersion & speeds: ω(k), c_ph = ω/k, c_g = ∂ω/∂k.
   • Cutoff & boundaries: ν_c, reflection R_ref, conversion C_conv.
   • Amplitude/quality: A(ν,k), m, Q, T_pack, damping rate γ_damp.
   • Heating closure: F_wave, Q_req, Q_mod, ΔQ = Q_req − Q_mod.
   • Geometry/topology: h_canopy, d_fp, θ_f, log10Q, Φ_open.
   • Thermal/nonthermal: Tb_ALMA, ξ_non.
   • Confidence index: P(|target − model|>ε).
2. Unified Fitting Frame (three axes + path/measure)
   • Observable axis: the full set above with a joint covariance structure.
   • Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (mapped to the chromosphere–corona base and network funnels).
   • Path & Measure Declaration: wave energy and flux propagate along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; energy accounting uses ∫ J·F d ell and ∫ ε(k) dk. All formulas are plain text in backticks, SI units.
3. Empirical Features (cross-platform)
   • Prominent trapped-wave ridges in 2–8 mHz with shoulder features beyond thin-tube dispersion.
   • ν_c systematically higher in funnel regions with large h_canopy.
   • F_wave approaches Q_req (small ΔQ) where d_fp is small / θ_f is large.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

1. Minimal Equation Set (plain text)
   • S01: ω^2(k) ≈ ω_0^2 + (c_0^2 + gamma_Path·J_Path + k_SC·psi_wave)·k^2 − eta_Damp·k^2
   • S02: ν_c ≈ ν_0 + a1·k_STG·G_env + a2·psi_topo·h_canopy − a3·xi_RL
   • S03: {R_ref, C_conv} ≈ Φ(θ_f, log10Q; psi_conv, psi_topo, theta_Coh)
   • S04: F_wave ≈ P_A · (theta_Coh − eta_Damp)_+ + STG_work(∇Φ_global)
   • S05: ΔQ ≈ Q_req − Λ(F_wave; beta_TPR, zeta_net)
2. Mechanism Highlights (Pxx)
   • P01 · Path/Sea Coupling tunes dispersion and caps on c_ph/c_g, creating an anomalous trapping window.
   • P02 · STG / TBN: STG lifts ν_c and enhances reflection; TBN sets a damping floor limiting Q.
   • P03 · Coherence Window / Response Limit govern effective bands and ceiling power.
   • P04 · TPR / Topology / Recon modulate {R_ref, C_conv} and the spatial pattern of ΔQ via funnel geometry and QSL strength.

VI. Summary Assessment

1. Strengths
   • Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) coherently captures dispersion–boundary–damping–heating closure; parameters map to network-funnel geometry and QSL/open-flux topology.
   • Mechanism identifiability: strong posteriors for γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/beta_TPR/theta_Coh/eta_Damp/xi_RL and ψ_wave/ψ_conv/ψ_topo/ζ_net, separating wave, conversion, and topology-driven contributions.
   • Engineering utility: online diagnostics using ν_c–R_ref/C_conv–F_wave–ΔQ guide network heating closure and energy budgeting.
2. Blind Spots
   • Non-LTE radiative transfer and uncertain formation heights in some bands may bias Tb/ν_c.
   • Limited separability of multiple trapped branches in short windows can affect stability of γ_damp/Q estimates.
3. Falsification & Experimental Suggestions
   • Falsification: see falsification_line in the JSON front matter.
   • Experiments:
     1. 2D maps: h_canopy × θ_f and d_fp × log10Q with overlays of ν_c, R_ref, C_conv, F_wave, ΔQ.
     2. Multi-platform sync: IRIS–AIA–DKIST–ALMA high-frequency co-observations to validate band dependences of c_ph/c_g/γ_damp.
     3. Topology controls: compare high/low Φ_open and strong/weak QSL regions to test elasticity of ψ_topo/ζ_net.
     4. Noise control: reduce σ_env to tighten intervals for R_ref/C_conv and ΔQ.
     5. Extrapolation checks: geometry bucket leave-one-out to verify robustness of ΔRMSE gains.
