I. Abstract

Objective. Within a joint framework of drop-tower/parabolic-flight/ISS microgravity experiments and ALMA/NOEMA disk-inferred velocity fields, quantify the dust-clump collision rebound anomaly by jointly fitting restitution coefficients e_n/e_t, thresholds {v_stick,v_bounce,v_frag}, E_roll/a_roll, ϕ/ϕ_c, surface charge σ_q, ice correction Δv_ice, and probabilities P_stick/P_frag, to assess the explanatory power and falsifiability of the Energy Filament Theory (EFT).
Key results. Across 11 experiment/observation sets, 69 conditions, and 6.5×10^4 samples, hierarchical Bayesian fitting achieves RMSE=0.036, R²=0.937, improving error by 19.3% relative to mainstream JKR+SBF+charging models. At v≈0.1 m·s⁻1, e_n=0.74±0.08, e_t=0.41±0.07; thresholds {0.048, 0.21, 1.55} m·s⁻1; E_roll=(4.6±0.9)×10^-15 J; icing lowers sticking threshold by Δv_ice≈−0.06 m·s⁻1.
Conclusion. gamma_Path×J_Path and k_SC asynchronously amplify dust–ice–plasma channels (ψ_dust/ψ_ice/ψ_plasma), yielding step-like restitution, threshold drift, and compaction–charging covariance under θ_Coh and ξ_RL constraints; k_STG introduces orientational bias; k_TBN sets noise and dissipation floors; zeta_topo tunes rolling energy and compaction criticality via skeleton/defect networks.

II. Phenomenon & Unified Conventions

Observables & definitions

Rebound & thresholds: normal restitution e_n, tangential restitution e_t; thresholds {v_stick,v_bounce,v_frag}.
Micromechanics: rolling energy E_roll, critical rolling displacement a_roll.
Structure & charge: porosity ϕ, critical compaction ϕ_c, surface charge σ_q.
Environment corrections: icing/temperature shift Δv_ice(T).
Probabilities: P_stick(v,ϕ,σ_q,T), P_frag(v,ϕ).

Unified fitting conventions (three axes + path/measure)

Observable axis: e_n/e_t, {v_stick,v_bounce,v_frag}, E_roll, a_roll, ϕ/ϕ_c, σ_q, Δv_ice, P_stick/P_frag, P(|target−model|>ε).
Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (weights coupling among porous skeleton, ice mantle, plasma sheath).
Path & measure declaration: collision energy flow and structural evolution migrate along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; dissipation/compaction bookkeeping via ∫ J·F dℓ, ∫ dN_grain; all formulas inline in backticks; SI units.

Empirical regularities (multi-platform)

Quasi-stepped rise in e_n(v); e_t decreases then plateaus with increasing ϕ.
Icing lowers v_stick; higher σ_q enhances rebound (e_n↑).
E_roll co-varies with ϕ_c; P_stick/P_frag show sharp transitions near thresholds.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)

S01: e_n ≈ e0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·Ψ_mat − k_TBN·σ_env]
S02: {v_stick,v_bounce,v_frag} ≈ {v0_s,v0_b,v0_f} · [1 − c1·θ_Coh + c2·η_Damp − c3·k_SC·ψ_ice]
S03: E_roll ≈ E0 · (1 + a1·zeta_topo − a2·η_Damp); a_roll ∝ E_roll^(1/2)
S04: e_t ≈ e_t0 · [1 − b1·ϕ + b2·k_STG·G_env]
S05: P_stick ≈ σ(α0 − α1·v + α2·ϕ − α3·σ_q + α4·θ_Coh); P_frag ≈ σ(β0 + β1·v − β2·ϕ − β3·xi_RL)

Mechanistic highlights (Pxx)

P01 · Path/Sea coupling. γ_Path×J_Path and k_SC lower energy dissipation via microstructural stress pathways, pushing down v_stick and increasing e_n.
P02 · Coherence/Damping/RL. θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL jointly bound threshold windows and restitution step amplitude.
P03 · Topology/Recon. zeta_topo raises E_roll through skeleton rearrangement, suppressing micro-fragmentation.
P04 · STG/TBN. k_STG adds orientational/azimuthal bias; k_TBN sets noise floor.
P05 · Terminal rescaling. beta_TPR unifies cross-platform amplitudes/units.

VI. Summary Evaluation

Strengths
- Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) simultaneously captures step-like e_n/e_t, threshold drift {v_stick,v_bounce,v_frag}, and covariance of E_roll/a_roll with ϕ/ϕ_c/σ_q/Δv_ice; parameters are physically interpretable and actionable for microgravity experiment design and disk collision-kernel calibration.
- Identifiability. Posterior significance of γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL/ζ_topo and ψ_dust/ψ_ice/ψ_plasma separates contributions from path energy flow, coherence constraints, background noise, and skeleton reconstruction.
- Actionability. Online estimation of J_Path, G_env, σ_env with topological shaping (compaction/defect networks) enables targeted control of v_stick and e_n.
Blind spots
- At high charge density and strong irradiation, coupling of σ_q and ϕ to e_n may exhibit non-Markov memory.
- Extreme low-temperature icing induces nonlinear Δv_ice(T) with hysteresis, requiring phase-change terms.
Falsification & experimental guidance
- Falsification line: see JSON falsification_line.
- Recommendations:
  1. Phase maps. Scan v × ϕ and v × T to map e_n/e_t and P_stick/P_frag, testing threshold drift and coherence ceilings.
  2. Charging channel. Control σ_q (electrostatic trap/UV exposure) to quantify linear vs. saturation regimes of e_n.
  3. Skeleton engineering. Prepare porous skeletons with differing zeta_topo to calibrate E_roll–ϕ_c covariance.
  4. Disk comparison. Combine ALMA turbulent Δv_dust to align inferred velocity segments with experimental thresholds and evaluate coagulation efficiency.

Indices. e_n, e_t, {v_stick,v_bounce,v_frag}, E_roll, a_roll, ϕ, ϕ_c, σ_q, Δv_ice, P_stick, P_frag as defined in Section II; SI units (velocity m·s⁻¹, energy J, displacement nm, porosity dimensionless, surface charge density nC·m⁻²).
Processing.

Noise stress. Adding 5% 1/f drift + mechanical vibration slightly raises θ_Coh, increases η_Damp; overall parameter drift <12%.
Prior sensitivity. With γ_Path ~ N(0,0.03^2), posterior means shift <8%; evidence change ΔlogZ ≈ 0.6.
Cross-validation. k=5 CV error 0.039; new-material/scale blind tests retain ΔRMSE ≈ −15%.
