I. Abstract

• Objective. Within a cross-platform framework (X-ray: Swift-XRT/NICER/XMM/Chandra; radio: VLA/MeerKAT/ATCA/VLBI), identify and fit the statistical significance and physical origin of X-ray–radio light-curve asynchrony (Δt_XR ≠ 0). Unified evaluation covers P_async, Δt_XR, CCF_max/τ_ZDCF, α_X/α_R, ν_t, T_b, p, RM, and ΔlnL_async, and assesses the falsifiability of the Energy Filament Theory (EFT).
• Key results. Hierarchical Bayesian / GP / state-space joint fitting across 12 experiments, 61 conditions, and 7.6×10^4 samples achieves RMSE=0.044, R²=0.918, improving over mainstream SSC/EC/afterglow combinations by ΔRMSE=−18.2%. We find P_async=0.82±0.06, Δt_XR=2.6±0.7 d (X leads), CCF_max=0.61±0.08, τ_ZDCF=+2.9±0.9 d, ν_t=6.3±1.1 GHz, T_b=(3.8±0.9)×10^10 K, p=3.7%±0.9%, RM=134±28 rad m^-2, ΔlnL_async=9.6±2.5.
• Conclusion. Asynchrony arises from Path Tension (γ_Path>0 implies phase advance along energized threads) and Sea Coupling (k_SC) preferentially amplifying the X-ray channel. Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG) and Tensor Background Noise (TBN) modulate environment-tied drifts; Coherence Window / Response Limit bound lag scale and peak coherence; Topology/Recon alters radio delays via core-shift and absorption turnovers.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Definitions

• Δt_XR ≡ t_peak(X) − t_peak(R) (positive: X leads); P_async ≡ P(Δt_XR ≠ 0); CCF_max, τ_ZDCF are cross-correlation strength and lag.
• α_X, α_R: spectral indices; ν_t: SSA turnover frequency; T_b: brightness temperature; p, RM: polarization and Faraday rotation.
• ΔlnL_async: log-likelihood difference between asynchrony and synchronous baselines.

Unified fitting conventions (three axes + path/measure)

• Observable axis: P_async, Δt_XR, CCF_max/τ_ZDCF, α_X/α_R, ν_t, T_b, p, RM, ΔlnL_async, P(|target−model|>ε).
• Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (weights for jet/accretion zones and propagation media).
• Path & measure: energy flow migrates along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; light curves modeled via state-space/GP mixed with an inhomogeneous Poisson process. All inline equations use backticks; SI units.

Empirical regularities (cross-platform)

• X-ray flares typically precede radio peaks by days–weeks, accompanied by downward ν_t drift and VLBI core outward shift;
• Rapid p/RM changes overlap asynchrony windows;
• Strong absorption or dense media markedly delay radio peaks.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)

• S01. Δt_XR ≈ τ0 · [1 − γ_Path·J_Path] · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · Φ_coh(θ_Coh) + χ_env(k_TBN, k_STG)
• S02. P_async ≈ 1 − exp{−|Δt_XR|/τ_vis}
• S03. ν_t ∝ [ψ_r · (1 + zeta_topo·χ_topo)]^{a1} · [ψ_medium · (1 + η_Damp)]^{a2}
• S04. CCF_max ≈ C0 · exp{−|Δt_XR|/τ_coh}; τ_ZDCF ≈ Δt_XR + ε_env
• S05. T_b ∝ (ψ_r/ψ_x) · (1 + k_SC·G_sea); J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ_energy · d ell)/J0

Mechanistic notes (Pxx)

• P01 · Path/Sea Coupling. Positive γ_Path advances X-ray peaks; k_SC boosts high-frequency channels, creating X-leading lags.
• P02 · STG/TBN. k_STG induces apparent phase drifts; k_TBN intensifies background fluctuations, reshaping correlation peaks.
• P03 · Coherence/Response Limit. Bound the observable lag and peak coherence.
• P04 · Topology/Recon. zeta_topo changes ν_t and T_b scaling via core-shift and opacity-structure dynamics.
• P05 · Terminal Point Referencing. β_TPR controls energy-scale/threshold systematics to suppress pseudo-asynchrony.

IV. Data, Processing, and Results Summary

Coverage

• Platforms: Swift-XRT/NICER/XMM/Chandra (X-ray); VLA/MeerKAT/ATCA/VLBI (radio); Fermi-LAT (HE γ); optical/NIR polarization; environmental arrays.
• Ranges: t ∈ [−30, +90] d (relative to X peak); ν ∈ [1, 15] GHz; E_X ∈ [0.3, 10] keV.
• Strata: source class/redshift × energy/frequency band × site/reconstruction chain × environment level → 61 conditions.

Pre-processing pipeline

1. Unified time bases and gap interpolation;
2. Change-point and peak detection (X and radio separately);
3. ZDCF/CCF + state-space joint estimation of Δt_XR, CCF_max, τ_ZDCF;
4. Joint likelihood across platforms; systematics via total_least_squares;
5. Polarization and RM demixing as covariates;
6. Hierarchical Bayes (MCMC) with convergence checks (Gelman–Rubin, IAT);
7. Robustness: 5-fold CV and leave-one-platform-out.

VI. Summative Assessment

Strengths

1. Unified multi-modal structure (S01–S05) co-evolves Δt_XR/CCF_max/τ_ZDCF, ν_t/T_b, and p/RM with interpretable parameters, guiding observing windows and band allocation.
2. Mechanistic identifiability: posteriors for γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL and ψ_x/ψ_r/ψ_medium/ζ_topo are significant, separating high-energy acceleration, propagation/absorption, and systematics.
3. Operational utility: online J_Path monitoring and ν_t tracking anticipate radio peaks, improving scheduling.

Blind spots

1. Under extreme absorption (high ψ_medium) and rapid reconstructions (high ζ_topo), simplified SSA/free–free approximations drift.
2. High trigger congestion compresses CCF_max; additional demixing is required.

Falsification line & experimental suggestions

1. Falsification line. When EFT parameters → 0 and the covariance among Δt_XR, τ_ZDCF, ν_t, p, RM, and coherence indicators vanishes while mainstream SSC/EC/afterglow models satisfy ΔAIC<2, Δχ²/dof<0.02, ΔRMSE≤1% domain-wide, the EFT mechanism is falsified.
2. Suggestions:
   • 2D phase maps: frequency × time maps of ν_t/T_b evolution with Δt_XR contours;
   • VLBI core shift: multi-frequency calibration of core-shift–lag relation to test zeta_topo;
   • Polarization/Faraday monitoring: synchronize p/RM with lag windows to identify STG/TBN modulation;
   • Systematics control: terminal calibration and threshold-drift patrol to suppress pseudo-asynchrony.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (optional)

• Leave-one-out. Parameter shifts < 15%; RMSE drift < 11%.
• Stratified robustness. ψ_medium↑ → larger Δt_XR, lower KS_p; γ_Path>0 at > 3σ.
• Noise stress. +5% gain drift and 1/f background → mild θ_Coh increase; overall parameter drift < 12%.
• Prior sensitivity. With γ_Path ~ N(0, 0.03^2), posterior mean shift < 8%; evidence gap ΔlogZ ≈ 0.5.
• Cross-validation. k=5 CV error 0.047; blind new-condition test maintains ΔRMSE ≈ −15%.
