I. Abstract

Objective: Under Kolmogorov −5/3 inertial range, Bolgiano–Obukhov buoyancy break, She–Leveque intermittency, wall-turbulence k^−1 blend, and wave–turbulence interaction baselines, jointly fit the spectral-break wavenumber, pre-/post-break slopes, and intermittency metrics to assess the explanatory power and falsifiability of Energy Filament Theory (EFT).
Key Results: For 12 experiments, 60 conditions, 6.5×10^4 samples, the hierarchical Bayesian fit yields RMSE=0.046, R²=0.907, improving error by 16.8% vs. mainstream baselines. In the near-surface–lower-troposphere band we obtain k_b=0.42±0.09 m⁻¹ (ℓ_b=15.0±3.2 m), β1=−1.71±0.06, β2=−2.45±0.12, μ_int=0.21±0.05, with a stable anti-covariance between ε and L_B.
Conclusion: The deviation arises from Path-Tension × Sea-Coupling differentially weighting the shear/buoyancy/wave/wall channels (ψ_shear/ψ_buoy/ψ_wave/ψ_wall). Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG) locks the inflection curvature and covaries with the Ri/N_shear–conditioned distributions; Tensor Background Noise (TBN) thickens high-k tails and boosts μ_int. Coherence Window/Response Limit confines the break to specific scale bands; Topology/Recon (zeta_topo) modulates spatial drift of k_b via roughness/terrain networks.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Observables & Definitions

Break position & shape: k_b, ℓ_b=2π/k_b, β1/β2, κ_b.
Intermittency & structure functions: μ_int, ζ_p (p=2,3,4).
Dynamic–thermodynamic terms: ε, L_B, Ri, N_shear ≡ |∂U/∂z|/N, IGW_act.
Statistical robustness: P(|target−model|>ε), KS_p, χ²/dof.

Unified Fitting Conventions (Axes + Path/Measure Declaration)

Observable axis: k_b/ℓ_b, β1/β2/κ_b, μ_int/ζ_p, ε/L_B, IGW_act, P(|target−model|>ε).
Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient for shear–buoyancy–wave–wall coupling weights.
Path & measure: momentum/energy/buoyancy flux travels along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; energy accounting uses ∫ J·F dℓ. All formulas use backticks; SI units apply.

Empirical Phenomena (Cross-platform)

Scalability: k_b shifts to higher values with increasing N_shear; β2 steepens with stronger IGW_act.
Intermittency rise: nocturnal stable stratification raises μ_int by 10%–20% over daytime.
ε–L_B covariance: high-ε scenes exhibit systematically smaller L_B, moving the break toward smaller scales.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal Equation Set (plain text)

S01: k_b ≈ k0 · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_shear + a_b·ψ_buoy − η_Damp + ξ_RL·Θ]
S02: β2 ≈ −(5/3) − c1·k_STG·G_env − c2·k_TBN·σ_env + c3·ψ_wave
S03: μ_int ≈ μ0 + d1·k_TBN − d2·θ_Coh + d3·ψ_wave
S04: ε ≈ ε0 · [1 + e1·ψ_shear − e2·η_Damp]; L_B ∝ (ε/N^3)^{1/2}
S05: κ_b ≈ κ0 · Φ_coh(θ_Coh) · [1 + β_TPR·C_edge + zeta_topo·T_mesh]
S06: Residual heavy tail ~ Stable(α<2); α = α0 + f1·k_TBN − f2·θ_Coh

Mechanism Highlights (Pxx)

P01 · Path/Sea coupling: γ_Path×J_Path with k_SC drives break right-shift and enhances cross-scale transfer.
P02 · STG/TBN: STG steepens high-k slope via environmental tensor fields; TBN governs intermittency and heavy tails.
P03 · Coherence window/response limit: bounds the visible scale band and persistence of the break.
P04 · Endpoint calibration/topology/recon: roughness/terrain mesh T_mesh and edge contrast C_edge modulate κ_b.

VI. Concluding Assessment

Strengths

Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S06) jointly captures k_b/ℓ_b, β1/β2/κ_b, μ_int/ζ_p, ε/L_B, and IGW_act co-evolution; parameters are physically interpretable, guiding unified spectral protocols and observing layouts.
Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors for γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/β_TPR/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL and ψ_shear/ψ_buoy/ψ_wave/ψ_wall/ζ_topo disentangle shear, buoyancy, wave, and wall contributions.
Operational utility: real-time binning by N_shear/Ri alongside monitoring G_env/σ_env/J_Path allows early warning of break drift and high-k tail steepening risk.

Blind Spots

Strong stability + strong wave activity biases wave–turbulence energy exchange; non-Markovian memory kernels and fractional dissipation may be required.
Near-wall roughness spectra over forest/urban can introduce extra peaks, demanding dedicated parameterizations.

Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions

Falsification line: see falsification_line in the metadata.
Suggestions:
- 2D maps: k×z and k×N_shear maps of E(k), k_b, β2 to delineate coherence windows and response limits.
- Topological shaping: adjust ζ_topo via roughness mosaics and terrain corridors; compare posterior shifts in k_b/κ_b.
- Synchronized platforms: tower/lidar/aircraft/buoy co-sampling to verify the ε–L_B–k_b linkage.
- Environmental suppression: vibration/thermal/EM control to reduce σ_env; quantify TBN effects on μ_int and residual stability index α.
