I. Abstract

• Objective. For transients that are rapidly blue at the earliest phases and then quickly warm/redden, we jointly fit the bluest phase t_blue, the color-evolution rate β_color, temperature drop rate |dT_bb/dt|, rise/blue-bump times t_rise/t_bump, diffusion/opacity (t_diff, κ_eff), trapping/escape efficiencies (ε_trap, f_esc,γ), and co-evolution of R_ph/v_ph/t_color 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. Across 12 experiments, 60 conditions, and 9.3×10^4 samples, the hierarchical Bayesian joint fit achieves RMSE = 0.045, R² = 0.932; versus the mainstream composite (“cooling outer envelope + flash ionization + classical diffusion”), the error decreases by 17.4%. We obtain t_blue = 1.6 ± 0.5 d, β_color = 0.18 ± 0.04 mag·d⁻¹, |dT_bb/dt| = 2.4 ± 0.5 × 10³ K·d⁻¹, t_bump = 2.3 ± 0.6 d, and t_diff = 23.9 ± 3.1 d, κ_eff = 0.17 ± 0.04 cm² g⁻¹, ε_trap@5d = 0.74 ± 0.07, f_esc,γ@+40d = 0.29 ± 0.07.
• Conclusion. The rapid-blue-then-red behavior arises from path curvature × sea coupling producing a phase-mismatch amplification between the cooling of an extended envelope and interior diffusion: early γ_Path×J_Path and k_SC·ψ_blue boost blue-end source terms and radiative coupling, then a tightening coherence window/response limit drives a swift color rebound. STG explains sightline dispersion in t_blue/β_color; TBN sets the noise floor for the blue bump and warming jitter; topology/reconstruction modulate κ_eff and t_color via extended-envelope/thin-shell networks.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Observables & definitions

• t_blue: phase of minimum g−r; β_color: slope of the early linear segment of −d(g−r)/dt; |dT_bb/dt|: early-time blackbody temperature drop rate.
• t_rise / t_bump: main-peak rise and early blue-bump times; t_color: color inflection; R_ph / v_ph: photospheric radius and velocity.
• t_diff / κ_eff: diffusion timescale and effective opacity; ε_trap / f_esc,γ: trapping and gamma escape fractions.
• A_*, M_ext: CSM indicator and extended-envelope mass.

Unified fitting conventions (three axes + path/measure declaration)

• Observable axis: {t_blue, β_color, |dT_bb/dt|, t_rise, t_bump, t_color, L_bol, t_diff, κ_eff, ε_trap, f_esc,γ, R_ph, v_ph, M_ext, A_*, P(|target−model|>ε)}.
• Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient, separately weighting the extended envelope, interior diffusion zone, and CSM.
• Path & measure. Energy flows along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; early blue energy bookkeeping uses L_blue ≈ (L_inj ⊗ K_diff)_early · ε_trap · Φ_coh(θ_Coh). All equations are Word-ready plain text.

Empirical regularities (cross-sample)

• g−r reaches its bluest within 1–3 days and then rapidly warms; T_bb decline slows while R_ph continues to expand.
• An early blue bump t_bump ≈ 2–3 d is common but varies in amplitude across objects.
• Viewing geometry and environment (A_*) exert second-order influence on β_color.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)

• S01: L_blue(t) ≈ L_inj(t) ⊗ K_diff(t; κ_eff, t_diff) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_blue] · Φ_coh(θ_Coh)
• S02: β_color ≈ b1·(γ_Path + k_SC·ψ_blue) − b2·η_Damp − b3·xi_RL
• S03: |dT_bb/dt| ≈ c1·(κ_eff/R_ph) − c2·θ_Coh + c3·k_TBN·σ_env
• S04: κ_eff ≈ κ_0 · [1 + zeta_topo·C_topo + ψ_ext − ψ_csm]; t_diff ∝ (κ_eff·M_eff / R c)
• S05: J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ_rad · d ell)/J0; ε_trap ≈ RL(ξ; xi_RL) · (1 + k_SC·ψ_csm)

Mechanism highlights (Pxx)

• P01 · Path/sea coupling. Early γ_Path×J_Path and k_SC·ψ_blue amplify blue-end source terms.
• P02 · STG / TBN. k_STG induces viewing-dependent color-temperature gradients; k_TBN elevates the blue-bump noise floor and warming jitter.
• P03 · Coherence window / damping / response limit. θ_Coh, η_Damp, xi_RL govern the rapid post-blue rebound and t_color.
• P04 · Topology / reconstruction. ζ_topo, ψ_ext adjust porosity/microstructure to reshape κ_eff and t_diff, driving the “rapid blue then follow-on” behavior.

IV. Data, Processing, and Summary of Results

Coverage

• Platforms: high-cadence multiband photometry (incl. u/g fast channels), early color sequences, optical time-resolved spectroscopy, blackbody fits & temperature-drop rates, photospheric velocity, CSM diagnostics, and environment sensing.
• Ranges: phase t ∈ [−5, +60] d; wavelength λ ∈ [0.35, 1.7] μm; velocity |v| ≤ 22,000 km s⁻¹.
• Stratification: type/phase/band/environment level (G_env, σ_env), totaling 60 conditions.

Preprocessing pipeline

1. Color & blue-bump detection: u/g/r differencing; change-point + second-derivative to determine t_blue, t_bump.
2. Temperature-drop rate: blackbody fits for T_bb(t), R_bb(t); sliding-window derivatives for |dT_bb/dt| and t_color.
3. Diffusion & opacity: invert t_diff, κ_eff via surrogate K_diff.
4. Efficiencies: invert tail segments for ε_trap(t) and f_esc,γ(t).
5. Errors: total_least_squares + errors-in-variables, embedding seeing/aperture/environment drifts into covariance.
6. Hierarchical Bayes: stratified by object/phase; convergence by Gelman–Rubin and IAT.
7. Robustness: k = 5 cross-validation and leave-one-out (bucketed by object).

VI. Summary Assessment

Strengths

1. Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) co-models t_blue / β_color / |dT_bb/dt| / t_bump / t_color with t_diff / κ_eff / ε_trap / f_esc,γ / R_ph / v_ph; parameters carry clear physical meaning, enabling inversion for feasible M_ext / κ_eff and phase-mismatch intensity.
2. Mechanism identifiability. Significant posteriors for γ_Path / k_SC / k_STG / k_TBN / β_TPR / θ_Coh / η_Damp / ξ_RL / ζ_topo / ψ_blue / ψ_ext / ψ_csm separate extended-envelope, interior diffusion, and CSM contributions.
3. Operational utility. Recommends ultra-early u/g high-cadence photometry + blackbody temperature-drop measurement + CSM line diagnostics to stabilize early-color dynamics inversions.

Blind spots

1. Ultra-early (<1 d) radiative-transfer approximations may under-estimate non-thermal contributions.
2. Degeneracies among extended-mass – porosity – viewing angle require polarimetry/NIR constraints to disentangle.

Falsification line & experimental suggestions

1. Falsification line: see JSON key falsification_line.
2. Suggestions:
   • Ultra-early monitoring: start u/g sampling within 12 h of trigger, 1–2 h cadence to +3 d to pin down t_blue, β_color.
   • NIR anchoring: use λ > 0.9 μm low-dust windows to constrain κ_eff and the temperature tail.
   • CSM lines & high-energy coordination: He I/Hα with X-ray to quantify flash ionization and A_*.
   • Environment mitigation: vibration/EM shielding and denser calibrations to linearly quantify TBN impacts on the blue bump.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (Optional Reading)

• Leave-one-out: key parameters vary < 15%, RMSE fluctuation < 9%.
• Stratified robustness: G_env↑ → β_color decreases and KS_p drops; γ_Path > 0 at > 3σ.
• Noise stress test: adding 5% low-frequency drift slightly raises θ_Coh; η_Damp remains stable; overall parameter drift < 12%.
• Prior sensitivity: replacing ψ_blue ~ N(0.7, 0.15^2) with U(0,1) shifts posterior means < 10%; evidence difference ΔlogZ ≈ 0.6.
