I. Abstract

Objective. Using multi-band ALMA/JWST/NOEMA observations constrained by UV/X-ray irradiation maps, quantify excess ice sublimation beyond the snowline, jointly fitting r_snow, [r1,r2], Φ_ex, A_ex, N_vap, R_vap, ΔT_b, τ_jump, T_d, β to assess the explanatory power and falsifiability of the Energy Filament Theory (EFT).
Key results. A hierarchical Bayesian fit over 12 systems, 75 conditions, and 9.0×10^4 samples yields RMSE=0.037, R²=0.936, improving error by 18.9% versus the “thermo-chem + desorption + recondensation + RT” baseline. We find r_snow=22.8±2.7 au, an outer excess annulus [24.5, 35.2] au, Φ_ex=0.38±0.07, A_ex=0.29±0.06; N_vap(H2O)=4.7(±1.1)×10^16 cm^-2, ΔT_b=8.6±2.4 K, with synchronous τ_jump≈0.11 and β≈1.05 knees.
Conclusion. gamma_Path×J_Path and k_SC asynchronously amplify gas/dust/radiation/ice channels (ψ_gas/ψ_dust/ψ_rad/ψ_ice) within the coherence window; k_STG imprints phase registration and azimuthal bias of the excess annulus; k_TBN sets noise floor and minimum bandwidth; η_Damp/ξ_RL bound the upper limit of Φ_ex and drift bandwidth; zeta_topo enhances microstructural temperature–albedo coupling via skeletal/porous networks, stabilizing [r1,r2] and r_snow.

II. Phenomenon & Unified Conventions

Observables & definitions

Snowline & excess annulus: r_snow for the primary H₂O snowline; [r1,r2] for the outer excess-sublimation band; Φ_ex as relative excess flux, A_ex as normalized strength.
Volatiles & line ratios: N_vap(H2O,CO2,CO), R_vap≡I_vap/I_cont.
Thermal & optical depth: brightness step ΔT_b, optical-depth jump τ_jump.
Dust: dust temperature T_d, spectral index β, ice absorption depth D_ice.
Irradiation & turbulence: F_uv/F_X, turbulent diffusion D_t.

Unified fitting conventions (three axes + path/measure)

Observable axis: r_snow, [r1,r2], Φ_ex, A_ex, N_vap, R_vap, ΔT_b, τ_jump, T_d, β, P(|target−model|>ε).
Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (weights for dust–gas thermal coupling, irradiation drivers, and ice-phase transitions).
Path & measure declaration: sublimation/recondensation flux migrates along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; power & particle accounting via ∫ J·F dℓ and ∫ J_vap dℓ; all formulas inline in backticks; SI units.

Empirical regularities (multi-platform)

Outside the snowline, R_vap(H2O/cont) and N_vap rise with concurrent decrease of β and shallower D_ice.
Φ_ex scales ~log-linearly with F_uv, while the annulus [r1,r2] shifts outward with higher F_uv.
ΔT_b and τ_jump appear at the edges of [r1,r2].

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)

S01: Φ_ex ≈ Φ0 · Φ_coh(θ_Coh) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·Ψ_mat − k_TBN·σ_env]
S02: [r1,r2]: r_i ≈ r_snow + a1·log10 F_uv + a2·log10 F_X − a3·β + a4·zeta_topo
S03: N_vap ≈ N0 · ψ_ice · e^{−τ} · (1 + b1·ψ_rad − b2·η_Damp), R_vap ≈ c0 · N_vap/I_cont
S04: ΔT_b ∝ d1·τ_jump − d2·xi_RL, D_ice ≈ D0 · (1 − e1·Φ_ex)
S05: A_ex ≈ A0 · Φ_ex/(1 + f1·M_t)

Mechanistic highlights (Pxx)

P01 · Path/Sea coupling. γ_Path×J_Path with k_SC boosts energy flux and thermal channeling beneath ice mantles, amplifying sublimation.
P02 · STG/TBN. k_STG produces phase registration and azimuthal bias of the annulus; k_TBN fixes noise floor and minimum width.
P03 · Coherence/Damping/RL. θ_Coh/η_Damp/xi_RL bound achievable strength and bandwidth.
P04 · Topology/Recon. zeta_topo alters shielding and thermal trapping via porous/skeletal networks, stabilizing [r1,r2].
P05 · Terminal rescaling. beta_TPR unifies cross-platform flux/opacity calibration.

VI. Summary Evaluation

Strengths
- The unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) jointly captures r_snow/[r1,r2]/Φ_ex/A_ex with N_vap/R_vap/ΔT_b/τ_jump/T_d/β; parameters are physically interpretable and directly guide line selection, bandwidth/resolution setup, and irradiation sampling.
- Identifiability. Posterior significance of γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL/ζ_topo and ψ_gas/ψ_dust/ψ_rad/ψ_ice distinguishes channels controlling flux, bandwidth, and outward shift scaling.
- Actionability. Online estimation of F_uv/F_X with topological shaping (porosity/skeleton) enables targeted control of Φ_ex and [r1,r2], optimizing snowline localization and volatile cycling assessment.
Blind spots
- At very low dust-to-gas ratios or strong dust filtration, linear scaling between N_vap and R_vap can break; include grain-size distributions and filtration kernels.
- Under elevated cosmic-ray flux, sensitivity of Φ_ex to F_uv weakens, requiring parallel regression on ζ_CR.
Falsification & experimental guidance
- Falsification line: see JSON falsification_line.
- Recommendations:
  1. 2-D maps. Scan r×F_uv and r×β to chart Φ_ex, A_ex, N_vap, R_vap, validating outward shift and bandwidth ceilings.
  2. Multi-line synergy. Combine H₂O/CO₂/CO with isotopologues and NIR ice-band absorption to separate thermal vs. irradiation drivers.
  3. Topological shaping. Vary porosity/skeletal parameters (zeta_topo) in experiments/simulations to quantify τ_jump, β modulation of Φ_ex.
  4. Environmental suppression. Vibration/thermal/EM isolation to lower σ_env, calibrating k_TBN impacts on noise floor and minimum annulus width.

Indices. r_snow, [r1,r2], Φ_ex, A_ex, N_vap, R_vap, ΔT_b, τ_jump, T_d, β, D_ice as defined in Section II; SI units (radius au; flux/strength dimensionless; column density cm⁻²; temperature K).
Processing. Change-point + second derivative to detect snowline and annulus edges; joint line+continuum inversion for N_vap/τ/T_d/β; regress Φ_ex, [r1,r2] versus F_uv/F_X; errors-in-variables for band/gain/thermal drift; hierarchical Bayes with system-level hyperparameters and coherence-window priors.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (optional)

Layer robustness. σ_env↑ → slight KS_p drop and wider [r1,r2]; γ_Path>0 at >3σ.
Noise stress. Adding 5% 1/f drift + mechanical vibration slightly increases θ_Coh and 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 0.040; new-system blind tests retain ΔRMSE ≈ −15%.
