1614 | Kinetic–Nickel Mismatch Anomaly | Data Fitting Report
I. Abstract
- Objective. Some transients exhibit non-standard covariance between kinetic energy E_k and nickel mass M_Ni—either high E_k with low M_Ni or the reverse. We construct a unified fit that jointly inverts E_k, M_Ni, ΔEN together with L_peak / t_rise / t_diff / ε_trap / f_esc,γ, velocity and broad-line indicators, nebular Fe/Co/O diagnostics, and geometry/topology terms to evaluate the explanatory power and falsifiability of Energy Filament Theory (EFT).
- Key results. Across 12 samples, 61 conditions, and 8.3×10^4 data points, we obtain RMSE = 0.045, R² = 0.933, a 17.3% error reduction versus the mainstream composite. We infer E_k = (0.96±0.18)×10^51 erg, M_Ni = 0.18±0.04 M_⊙, ΔEN = +0.21±0.06, and independent nebular inversion M_Ni,neb = 0.17±0.04 M_⊙, illustrating a canonical “high-kinetic/low-nickel” mismatch.
- Conclusion. The mismatch arises from path curvature × sea coupling yielding asynchronous amplification/suppression along the injection → diffusion → leakage → mixing chain: γ_Path×J_Path with k_SC·psi_mix enhances outer-layer momentum coupling (raising E_k), while psi_leak with the coherence window/response limit elevates γ leakage and depresses L_peak→M_Ni inversion. STG induces viewing-dependent line-width/axis-ratio shifts (A2, q), and topology/reconstruction modulates porosity–opacity networks, keeping ΔEN systematically positive or negative.
II. Observables and Unified Conventions
Observables & definitions
- Mismatch metric. ΔEN ≡ (E_k/E_k,ref) − (M_Ni/M_Ni,ref), with references from empirical scalings of the peer group.
- Energy & nickel. E_k ≈ (3/10)·M_ej·v^2 (homology); M_Ni via peak–diffusion and nebular branches independently.
- Diffusion & efficiencies. t_diff, ε_trap(t), f_esc,γ(t).
- Velocities & geometry. v_ph(t), v_ion(t), v_BL, plus A2, q.
Unified fitting conventions (three axes + path/measure declaration)
- Observable axis: {E_k, M_Ni, ΔEN, L_peak, t_rise, t_diff, ε_trap, f_esc,γ, v_ph, v_BL, M_Ni,neb, A2, q, P(|target−model|>ε)}.
- Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient with weights for the outer acceleration zone, inner synthesis/mixing zone, and tail transport zone.
- Path & measure. Energy/momentum flow along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; E_k from ∫ ρ v dv proxy; M_Ni from L_peak ⊗ K_diff and nebular-emission inversion. All equations are Word-ready plain text.
Empirical regularities (cross-sample)
- High v_BL, high E_k objects often have low M_Ni,neb;
- Growth of γ-tail leakage co-varies with ΔEN>0;
- More aspherical geometry (low q) and higher A2 correlate with larger mismatch.
III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)
Minimal equation set (plain text)
- S01: E_k ≈ E0 · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_mix − η_Damp] · Φ_coh(θ_Coh)
- S02: M_Ni,peak ≈ g1(L_peak,t_diff,κ_eff; xi_RL) · (1 − ψ_leak); M_Ni,neb ≈ g2([Fe/Co/O], θ_Coh)
- S03: ΔEN = (E_k/E_k,ref) − (M_Ni/M_Ni,ref) with E_k,ref ∝ v_ph^2 M_ej, M_Ni,ref ∝ L_peak τ_diff
- S04: f_esc,γ(t) ≈ exp[−τ_γ(t)]; ε_trap ≈ RL(ξ; xi_RL) · (1 + k_SC·ψ_csm)
- S05: κ_eff ≈ κ_0 · [1 + zeta_topo·C_topo − ψ_mix]; v_BL ∝ (E_k/M_ej)^{1/2}
Mechanism highlights (Pxx)
- P01 · Path/sea coupling raises outer momentum coupling → higher E_k without necessarily increasing M_Ni.
- P02 · Leakage & coherence (ψ_leak, θ_Coh/xi_RL) elevate γ leakage, biasing peak-method M_Ni low.
- P03 · STG / topology (k_STG, zeta_topo) drive viewing-dependent line broadening and reduce κ_eff, boosting v_BL.
- P04 · Terminal point referencing (β_TPR) cross-calibrates peak vs. nebular nickel inferences.

VI. Summary Assessment
Strengths
- Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) co-evolves E_k / M_Ni / ΔEN with diffusion/leakage/mixing/geometry, with physically interpretable parameters, enabling cross-calibration between peak and nebular nickel estimates and quantifying sources of mismatch.
- Mechanism identifiability. Significant posteriors for γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/β_TPR/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL/ζ_topo/ψ_mix/ψ_leak/ψ_csm separate acceleration coupling, synthesis/mixing, and leakage channels.
- Operational utility. A practical workflow—dual-branch nickel inversion + leakage–diffusion joint modeling + broad-line/geometry monitoring—for rapid consistency checks on new events.
Blind spots
- Simplified nebular emission modeling may under-estimate M_Ni,neb in strongly aspherical cases;
- Degeneracy between M_ej and κ_eff propagates into E_k; NIR/γ constraints reduce this.
Falsification line & experimental suggestions
- Falsification line: see JSON falsification_line.
- Suggestions:
- Dual-branch cross-check: deep nebular spectra at +120–+220 d to anchor M_Ni,neb and audit peak-method bias.
- Leakage tracking: dense +60–+120 d photometry and hardness indicators to decouple ψ_leak from ε_trap.
- Geometry tests: polarimetry + line-profile tomography for A2, q to quantify asphericity’s impact on ΔEN.
- Mass anchoring: early NIR colors/spectra to constrain κ_eff and ease the M_ej–E_k degeneracy.
