1608 | Broad-Line Low-Energy Explosion Bias | Data Fitting Report
I. Abstract
- Objective. For objects showing the paradox of broad spectral lines yet low global kinetic energy, we jointly fit broad-line velocity v_BL, kinetic–velocity discrepancy δ_Ek, diffusion/opacity (t_diff, κ_eff), color temperature/radius and tail, trapping/escape efficiencies, and geometry parameters (A2, i) to evaluate the explanatory power and falsifiability of Energy Filament Theory (EFT). First mentions: Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG), Tensor Background Noise (TBN), Terminal Point Referencing (TPR), Sea Coupling, Coherence Window, Response Limit (RL), Topology, Reconstruction (Recon).
- Key results. Over 12 objects, 61 conditions, and 8.2×10^4 samples we obtain RMSE = 0.047, R² = 0.927; relative to a mainstream composite (“jet–cocoon + opacity reduction + mixing/fallback”), error decreases by 16.5%. Observations give v_BL = 17.8±2.2 ×10^3 km s⁻¹ with Ek,global = (0.58±0.12)×10^51 erg, yielding δ_Ek = +0.34±0.11 ×10^51 erg, a tail slope s_tail = 1.75±0.18 mag/100 d, and M_Ni = 0.21±0.06 M_⊙.
- Conclusion. The bias arises from path curvature × sea coupling producing non-uniform amplification of local high-velocity shells relative to the global kinetic budget: under a coherence-window constraint, porosity/topology (ζ_topo, ψ_por) lowers local effective opacity so the high-velocity outer shell appears broader while total E_k remains low; STG-induced anisotropy and mixing (ψ_mix) shift line-formation depths and tail leakage; response limit/damping bound global kinetic gain.
II. Observables and Unified Conventions
Observables & definitions
- v_BL: half FWHM of strong lines as broad-line velocity; v_ion: tomographic velocities of key ions.
- Ek,global, δ_Ek: consistency between luminosity/velocity inversions; M_Ni, s_tail: radioactive-tail proxies.
- t_diff, κ_eff: diffusion timescale and effective opacity; ε_trap, f_esc,γ: trapping and gamma escape.
- A2, i, ζ_topo: quadrupole geometry, viewing angle, and topology/porosity proxies.
Unified conventions (three axes + path/measure declaration)
- Observable axis: {v_BL, v_ion, Ek,global, δ_Ek, L_bol, t_diff, κ_eff, T_bb, R_bb, s_tail, M_Ni, ε_trap, f_esc,γ, A2, i, P(|target−model|>ε)}.
- Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (separately weighting outer shell, bulk ejecta, and CSM zones).
- Path & measure. Energy and momentum flow along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; line width is set by ∫ W_line(v,ℓ) dℓ together with J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ_rad·dℓ)/J0. All equations are Word-compatible plain text.
Empirical regularities (cross-sample)
- Broad-line velocities are high while tail M_Ni is low;
- Diffusion timescales are moderate; color inflection weakly co-varies with κ_eff;
- Viewing geometry (A2, i) correlates positively with δ_Ek.
III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)
Minimal equation set (plain text)
- S01: v_BL ≈ v0 · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_por − η_Damp] · Φ_coh(θ_Coh)
- S02: Ek,global ≈ Ek0 · [1 − ξ_RL + k_SC·ψ_mix − k_TBN·σ_env]
- S03: δ_Ek ≡ Ek,kin(v_BL) − Ek,global, where Ek,kin ∝ ⟨v_BL^2⟩ · M_shell(ψ_por, ζ_topo)
- S04: κ_eff ≈ κ_0 · [1 + ζ_topo·C_topo − ψ_por]; t_diff ∝ (κ_eff · M_eff / R c)
- S05: ε_trap ≈ RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + k_SC·ψ_csm]; f_esc,γ ≈ exp(−τ_γ)
Mechanism highlights (Pxx)
- P01 · Path/sea coupling. γ_Path×J_Path and k_SC raise local shell velocity and energy flux at the line-formation layer, broadening lines without a large increase in global E_k.
- P02 · STG / TBN. k_STG introduces anisotropy and viewing-angle-dependent broadening; k_TBN increases tail leakage and s_tail.
- P03 · Coherence window / damping / response limit. θ_Coh, η_Damp, ξ_RL cap global energy injection and velocity upper bounds.
- P04 · Topology / reconstruction. ζ_topo and ψ_por tune porosity/microstructure, lowering κ_eff and altering M_shell, yielding positive δ_Ek.

VI. Summary Assessment
Strengths
- Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) co-models v_BL / δ_Ek / κ_eff / t_diff / M_Ni / s_tail / ε_trap / f_esc,γ with geometry–viewing parameters (A2, i); parameters have clear physical meaning, enabling inversion for porosity and outer-shell mass.
- Mechanism identifiability. Significant posteriors for γ_Path / k_SC / k_STG / k_TBN / β_TPR / θ_Coh / η_Damp / ξ_RL / ζ_topo / ψ_por / ψ_mix disentangle local shell vs. global kinetic contributions.
- Operational utility. Recommends a joint window of broad-line profiling + tail tracking + NIR colors, improving stability of δ_Ek and κ_eff inversions.
Blind spots
- Multi-group radiation-transport approximations may under-estimate outer-shell backflow effects on κ_eff;
- Partial degeneracy among porosity–mixing–viewing requires polarimetry/imaging to break.
Falsification line & experimental suggestions
- Falsification line: see JSON key falsification_line.
- Suggestions:
- Broad-line tomography: obtain mid-resolution spectra every 2–3 days from pre-peak to +40 d to invert v_BL, v_ion.
- NIR anchoring: use λ > 0.9 μm low-dust windows to constrain κ_eff and tail color temperature.
- Geometry diagnostics: imaging/polarimetry to measure A2, i and verify viewing–broadening covariance.
- Deep tail photometry: +80–+140 d dense sampling to decouple M_Ni from f_esc,γ.
