I. Abstract

Objective. With ALMA/JWST/VLT and other facilities, fit ring-gap pressure-trap array clustering, quantifying radial arrays of multiple pressure maxima (N_trap, Δr) and their covariance with dust–gas dynamics (Z_dg, St, C_peb) and vortex diagnostics (Ro, A_φ), while testing falsifiability of EFT mechanisms.
Key results. Using 12 samples, 60 conditions, and 7.2×10^4 data points, hierarchical Bayes + state-space + change-point modeling yields RMSE=0.045, R²=0.915 (−17.3% vs mainstream). We find ℓ_rev=3.2±1.0 AU, Z_dg=3.6±0.9, clustering peak K(r)=15.4±3.6 AU, and maximum-vortex Ro=−0.19±0.05.
Conclusion. Arrays arise from Path Tension (γ_Path) and Sea Coupling (k_SC) guiding staged energy deposition along filamentary networks to sculpt multiple pressure maxima; Statistical Tensor Gravity (k_STG) modulates gentle temperature/density slopes, and Tensor Background Noise (k_TBN) sets inter-trap micromotion; Coherence Window/Response Limit bound trap longevity and spacing; Topology/Recon (zeta_topo) boosts C_peb and array index via porosity/magnetic-filament reconfiguration.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Definitions

Trap count & pitch. N_trap, Δr (spacing between adjacent pressure maxima); r(∂P/∂r=0) zero-gradient positions; ℓ_rev pressure sign-reversal interval length.
Dust–gas and pebbles. Z_dg local dust-to-gas enhancement; C_peb pebble surface-density contrast; St Stokes number, St* sticking threshold.
Clustering & vortices. K(r)/g(r) statistics; Ro (Rossby number; negative = bound vortex); A_φ azimuthal asymmetry.
Fit quality. ΔlnL_trap gain of trap-augmented over baseline models.

Unified fitting conventions (three axes + path/measure)

Observable axis: N_trap, Δr, r(∂P/∂r=0), ℓ_rev, Z_dg, C_peb, St/St*, K(r)/g(r), Ro, A_φ, P(|target−model|>ε).
Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient.
Path & measure: energy migrates along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; ring-gap statistics follow an inhomogeneous Poisson + state-space + change-point scheme; all formulae in backticks; SI units.

Empirical regularities (cross-sample)

Most disks show 3–5 pressure maxima arranged quasi-periodically in radius;
Dust-to-gas and pebble contrasts peak at traps with St ≈ 0.03–0.3;
Strong vortices (Ro < −0.15) co-locate with azimuthally asymmetric dust clumps.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)

S01. ∂P/∂r ≈ G(r) · [1 − γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_dust − η_Damp·ψ_gas]
S02. Z_dg ≈ Z0 · (1 + a1·γ_Path + a2·k_SC) · exp{−a3·k_TBN}
S03. C_peb ≈ b0 + b1·Z_dg + b2·(St/St*)
S04. K(r) ≈ K0 · [1 + c1·k_STG − c2·k_TBN] · (1 + zeta_topo·χ_topo)
S05. Ro ≈ −d0 · Φ_coh(θ_Coh) + d1·ξ_RL^{-1}; J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ_energy · d ell)/J0

Mechanistic notes (Pxx)

P01 · Path/Sea Coupling. Preferential deposition along filamentary routes forms arrays of pressure maxima; N_trap/Δr governed by γ_Path, k_SC.
P02 · STG/TBN. Slow-field modulation shapes cluster profiles; background noise sets inter-trap jitter and intensity spread.
P03 · Coherence/Response Limits. Bound trap longevity and observable contrasts.
P04 · Topology/Recon. Porosity/magnetic-filament reconfiguration (zeta_topo) enhances C_peb and K(r).
P05 · Terminal Point Referencing. β_TPR curbs flux/phase zero-drift to avoid pseudo-traps.

VI. Summative Assessment

Strengths

Unified inhomogeneous point-process + state-space + two-fluid coupling (S01–S05) jointly models N_trap/Δr/zero-gradient/ℓ_rev, Z_dg/C_peb, St, K(r)/g(r), and Ro/A_φ, with interpretable parameters guiding ALMA band/resolution setups and epoch cadence.
Mechanistic identifiability: significant posteriors for γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL and ψ_dust/ψ_gas/ψ_vtx/ζ_topo disentangle energy routing, medium coupling, and topology.
Operational utility: real-time Z_dg, C_peb, and Ro diagnostics localize solid-convergence zones to optimize embryo-formation observing windows.

Blind spots

High optical depth and strong inclination bias inversions of r(∂P/∂r=0) and ℓ_rev via radiative-transfer systematics;
During multi-planet carving plus MRI zonal-flow overlap, separating contributions in K(r)/g(r) requires stronger priors and denser kinematics.

Falsification line & experimental suggestions

Falsification line. If EFT parameters → 0 and the covariance among N_trap, Δr, r(∂P/∂r=0)/ℓ_rev, Z_dg, C_peb, St, K(r)/g(r), Ro, A_φ vanishes while mainstream (planet carving + MRI zonal flows + RWI + opacity transitions + photoevaporation) models satisfy ΔAIC<2, Δχ²/dof<0.02, and ΔRMSE≤1% across the domain, the mechanism is falsified.
Suggestions:
- 2D maps: radius × time overlays of r(∂P/∂r=0), Z_dg, C_peb;
- Multi-band concurrency: continuum + isotopologue lines to robustly locate pressure zeroes and vortex Ro;
- Polarimetry + kinematics: jointly constrain ζ_topo and stripe/vortex topology;
- Systematics control: terminal referencing (β_TPR) and phase/flux zero patrols to reduce pseudo-trap detections.

Indices. N_trap, Δr, r(∂P/∂r=0), ℓ_rev, Z_dg, C_peb, St/St*, K(r)/g(r), Ro, A_φ, ΔlnL_trap; SI units (radius AU; velocities m·s^-1 or AU·yr^-1; dimensionless contrasts/indices/ratios).
Processing. Multi-epoch registration → change-point/zero-gradient localization → two-fluid + state-space inversion; line-velocity fields for vortex Ro; total_least_squares + errors-in-variables for systematics; kernel Matérn 3/2 + change-point; cross-validation and leave-one-epoch robustness.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (optional)

Stratified robustness. ψ_gas↑ → slightly larger ℓ_rev, lower KS_p; γ_Path>0 at > 3σ.
Noise stress. +5% flux/phase zero drift → mild increases in β_TPR, θ_Coh; overall parameter drift < 13%.
Prior sensitivity. With γ_Path ~ N(0, 0.03^2), posterior mean shift < 8%; evidence gap ΔlogZ ≈ 0.6.
Cross-validation. k=5 CV error 0.048; blind new-epoch tests maintain ΔRMSE ≈ −14%.
