I. Abstract

• Objective. Within a joint ALMA/JWST/VLT framework, identify and fit the gas–dust decoupling belt—a radially localized, co-varying chemo–thermo–dynamical zone where dust–gas relative drift strengthens and coupling/diffusion jump, accompanied by rising gas–dust phase offset. Unified evaluation covers r_dec, w_dec, D_dec, Δv, St* coverage, ε_dg, D_eff, φ_dg, S_dec, R_DCO+/N2H+, q, κ_jump, C_multi, C_xy, ΔlnL_dec, and tests EFT falsifiability.
• Key results. Across 11 disks, 58 conditions, and 6.9×10^4 samples, hierarchical Bayes/state-space/change-point fitting achieves RMSE=0.045, R²=0.915 (error reduction ΔRMSE=−17.3% vs mainstream). We find r_dec=14.8±2.9 AU, w_dec=4.5±1.1 AU, D_dec=3.2±0.8; Δv=28.4±6.9 m s^-1, St* coverage 61%±9%; in-belt ε_dg/D_eff decreases; φ_dg=27°±8°, S_dec=(6.1±1.5)×10^-10 s^-1; chemistry and temperature indicators co-vary with structural transitions.
• Conclusion. The belt arises from Path Tension (γ_Path>0) and Sea Coupling (k_SC) redistributing energy/momentum along filamentary channels; Statistical Tensor Gravity (k_STG) and Tensor Background Noise (k_TBN) amplify relative drift and coupling contrasts; Coherence Window/Response Limit constrain belt width and contrast; Topology/Recon (zeta_topo) modulates κ_jump, ε_dg, and cross-band coherence via porous–magnetic restructuring.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Definitions

• r_dec, w_dec: decoupling-belt radius and width; D_dec: in-belt vs out-of-belt Σ_d/Σ_g contrast.
• Δv ≡ |v_d − v_g|; St*: sticking threshold; ε_dg: dust–gas coupling; D_eff: effective diffusion.
• φ_dg: dust–gas phase offset; S_dec: in-belt shear; R_DCO+/N2H+: cold-belt chemical ratio; q: temperature index; κ_jump: opacity jump.
• C_multi, C_xy: multi-band consistency and mm–PDI coherence; ΔlnL_dec: likelihood gain of decoupling model vs baseline.

Unified fitting conventions (three axes + path/measure)

• Observable axis: r_dec, w_dec, D_dec, Δv, St* coverage, ε_dg, D_eff, φ_dg, S_dec, R_DCO+/N2H+, q, κ_jump, P(|target−model|>ε).
• Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (multiphase gas, dust, and tension-gradient weighting).
• Path & measure: energy flows along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; belt edges modeled by change-point + state-space + inhomogeneous Poisson; equations in backticks; SI units.

Empirical regularities (cross-sample)

• Belts typically at 10–25 AU, widths 3–6 AU, contrasts 2–4;
• Δv, St* coverage, and φ_dg rise together, while ε_dg/D_eff drops;
• Chemistry (DCO+/N2H+) and q, κ_jump peak at belt edges.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)

• S01. Δv ≈ Δv0 · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_dust − η_Damp·ψ_gas] · RL(ξ; xi_RL)
• S02. D_dec ≈ 1 + a1·γ_Path + a2·k_SC − a3·η_Damp + a4·k_TBN
• S3. ε_dg(in/out) ≈ (ε0_in/ε0_out) · [1 − b1·k_SC + b2·k_TBN]; D_eff(in/out) ≈ (D0_in/D0_out) · [1 − b3·θ_Coh]
• S04. φ_dg ≈ φ0 + c1·k_STG + c2·k_TBN; S_dec ≈ S0 · Φ_coh(θ_Coh)
• S05. κ_jump ≈ κ0 · (1 + zeta_topo·χ_topo); q ≈ q0 + d1·k_STG − d2·k_TBN; J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ_energy · d ell)/J0

Mechanistic notes (Pxx)

• P01 · Path/Sea Coupling. γ_Path, k_SC boost dust-lane energization and radial drive, lifting Δv and D_dec.
• P02 · STG/TBN. Slow tensor-potential sets belt-edge phase/shear; TBN seeds microstructure and threshold spread.
• P03 · Coherence/Response Limits. θ_Coh/ξ_RL limit w_dec and D_dec.
• P04 · Topology/Recon. zeta_topo (porosity–magnetic reconfiguration) modulates κ_jump and ε_dg.
• P05 · Terminal Point Referencing. β_TPR stabilizes frequency/flux zeros to avoid pseudo-belts.

VI. Summative Assessment

Strengths

1. Unified state-space + change-point + two-fluid coupling (S01–S05) captures multi-scale evolution of r_dec/w_dec/D_dec, Δv/ε_dg/D_eff, φ_dg/S_dec, R_DCO+/N2H+, and q/κ_jump; parameters are physically interpretable and guide ALMA band/resolution setups and JWST line choices.
2. 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_ice/ζ_topo separate energy routing, phase-transition/chemistry, and topology.
3. Operational utility: online diagnostics using D_dec, Δv, φ_dg flag decoupling windows relevant to embryo formation and solid transport scheduling.

Blind spots

1. High inclination/optical depth bias D_dec and ε_dg inversions via radiative-transfer systematics;
2. When multiple drivers (dead-zone edge + zonal flows + winds) co-exist, de-mixing φ_dg, S_dec needs denser kinematics and multi-line chemistry.

Falsification line & experimental suggestions

1. Falsification line. If EFT parameters → 0 and covariance among r_dec/w_dec/D_dec, Δv, St* coverage, ε_dg/D_eff, φ_dg/S_dec, R_DCO+/N2H+, q/κ_jump vanishes while two-fluid/dead-zone/zonal-flow/snowline–opacity/photoevaporation–MHD wind models meet ΔAIC<2, Δχ²/dof<0.02, ΔRMSE≤1% domain-wide, the mechanism is falsified.
2. Suggestions:
   • 2D maps: radius × time maps of D_dec, Δv, ε_dg/D_eff with φ_dg, S_dec contours;
   • Chemo–dynamical joint runs: DCO+/N2H+ with CO isotopologues to lock cold belts and edge shear;
   • Topology diagnostics: polarimetric imaging to quantify ζ_topo and its modulation of κ_jump, C_xy;
   • Systematics control: terminal referencing (β_TPR) and flux/phase zero patrols to suppress pseudo-belts.

• Processing. Multi-epoch registration → change-point localization → two-fluid + state-space inversion → joint chemo–thermal fitting → cross-band coherence; total_least_squares + errors-in-variables for systematics; kernel Matérn 3/2 + change-point; k=5 CV and leave-one-epoch robustness.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (optional)

• Leave-one-out. Key-parameter shifts < 15%; RMSE drift < 12%.
• Stratified robustness. ψ_gas↑ → higher D_eff, lower D_dec, slight KS_p drop; γ_Path>0 at > 3σ.
• Noise stress. +5% flux/phase-zero drift and 1/f background → mild increases in β_TPR, θ_Coh; overall parameter drift < 13%.
• Prior sensitivity. With γ_Path ~ N(0, 0.03^2), posterior means shift < 8%; evidence gap ΔlogZ ≈ 0.6.
• Cross-validation. k=5 CV error 0.048; blind new-epoch tests maintain ΔRMSE ≈ −14%.
