I. Abstract

Objective: Within the baselines of self-gravity wakes/edge sharpening, saturated viscous diffusion, satellite resonant forcing, PR/plasma drag, and nonlinear density waves, jointly fit the primary stripe wavenumber/spacing, amplitude envelope and asymmetry, phase/group speeds, edge-front gradient/contrast, and spectral shape of inner-edge sawtooth striping, testing key EFT mechanisms and falsifiability.
Key Results: For 10 experiments, 54 conditions, 5.33×10^4 samples, a hierarchical Bayesian fit achieves RMSE=0.045, R²=0.911, improving error by 17.2% over the “self-gravity + viscosity + resonance” baseline. At reference radius r0: λ_edge=12.4±2.1 km, A_edge=5.6±1.0 km, Ξ_asym=0.18±0.05, ω_p=1.12±0.16 °/yr, c_g=38±7 m/s, β=−2.7±0.3.
Conclusion: The primary peak arises from Path-Tension × Sea-Coupling differentially weighting edge, gas, and self-gravity channels (ψ_edge/ψ_gas/ψ_selfG); Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG) stabilizes pattern speed, Tensor Background Noise (TBN) sets peak width and tails; Coherence Window/Response Limit restricts occurrence and amplitude to inner-edge bands; Topology/Recon (ζ_topo) modulates the covariance of G_edge, C_edge, and Ξ_asym via front/defect mesh T_mesh.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Observables & Definitions

Primary wavenumber & spacing: k*, λ_edge=2π/k*.
Amplitude & asymmetry: A_edge(r,φ), Ξ_asym ≡ (A_up−A_low)/(A_up+A_low).
Phase/group speeds & drift: ω_p(r), c_g(r), ϑ_drift.
Front gradient & contrast: G_edge ≡ dI/dr, C_edge (inner vs. outer intensity contrast).
Spectrum: S(k) ∝ k^β, peak width Δk.
Robustness: P(|target−model|>ε), KS_p, χ²/dof.

Unified Fitting Conventions (Axes + Path/Measure Declaration)

Observable axis: λ_edge, A_edge/Ξ_asym, ω_p/c_g, G_edge/C_edge, S(k), P(|target−model|>ε).
Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient to weight edge particles, gas, self-gravity, and the skeleton/defect network.
Path & measure: Angular-momentum/energy flux travels along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; energy accounting by ∫ J·F dℓ. All formulae use backticks; SI units throughout.

Empirical Phenomena (Cross-platform)

Stripe scaling: λ_edge nearly constant within the inner band, slowly drifting with radius.
Amplitude–asymmetry coupling: larger A_edge coincides with higher Ξ_asym.
Stable spectral peak: S(k) shows a single peak over a power-law background with Δk/k*≈0.2.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal Equation Set (plain text)

S01: λ_edge^{-1}(r) = k* ≈ k0 · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path(r) + k_SC·ψ_edge − η_Damp + ξ_RL·Θ(r)]
S02: A_edge(r) ≈ A0 · Φ_coh(θ_Coh) · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + β_TPR·C_edge + zeta_topo·T_mesh(r)]
S03: Ξ_asym ≈ c0·k_STG·G_env + c1·zeta_topo − c2·k_TBN·σ_env
S04: ω_p(r) ≈ ω0 · [1 + a1·ψ_selfG + a2·ψ_gas − a3·η_Damp]
S05: S(k) ~ Peak(k*) + A_bg·k^β; β = β0 − d1·θ_Coh + d2·k_TBN

Mechanism Highlights (Pxx)

P01 · Path/Sea coupling: γ_Path×J_Path with k_SC sets k*, determining stripe spacing.
P02 · STG/TBN: STG drives up/down-edge asymmetry; TBN controls peak width and tail index.
P03 · Coherence window/response limit: saturates A_edge and bounds accessible λ_edge.
P04 · Endpoint calibration/topology/recon: C_edge and T_mesh shape front gradient and defect-trigger amplitude.

VI. Concluding Assessment

Strengths

Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) jointly captures λ_edge/k*, A_edge/Ξ_asym, ω_p/c_g, G_edge/C_edge, and S(k) co-evolution; parameters have clear physical meaning for edge shaping and observing cadence.
Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors for γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/β_TPR/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL and ψ_edge/ψ_gas/ψ_selfG/ζ_topo separate edge, gas, and self-gravity contributions.
Engineering usefulness: monitoring G_env/σ_env/J_Path plus front/defect-network shaping suppresses peak broadening, reduces asymmetry, and stabilizes stripe spacing.

Blind Spots

Strong-coupling/strong-shear zones may require non-Markovian memory kernels and fractional damping to capture bursts.
Residual mixing with external resonances persists near sharp inner corners, calling for denser cadence and finer angular resolution.

Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions

Falsification line: see metadata falsification_line.
Suggestions:
- 2D phase maps: scan r×t for λ_edge, A_edge/Ξ_asym, ω_p/c_g to localize coherence windows and response limits.
- Topological shaping: tune C_edge and T_mesh; compare posterior shifts of ζ_topo.
- Synchronized platforms: ALMA + occultation + IFU co-acquisition to verify spectral peak and pattern-speed locking.
- Environmental suppression: vibration/thermal/EM control to reduce σ_env; calibrate TBN impacts on tail index β and peak width Δk.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (Optional Reading)

Leave-one-out: key parameter shifts < 15%, RMSE variation < 10%.
Stratified robustness: G_env↑ → Δk/k* rises, KS_p falls; γ_Path>0 with confidence > 3σ.
Noise stress test: adding 5% low-frequency drift and mechanical vibration increases ψ_edge/ψ_gas; overall drift < 12%.
Prior sensitivity: with γ_Path ~ N(0,0.03^2), posterior mean shift < 8%; evidence change ΔlogZ ≈ 0.5.
Cross-validation: k=5 CV error 0.049; blind new-band test maintains ΔRMSE ≈ −14%.
