I. Abstract

Objective: Within AAV weak-measurement and continuous readout (homodyne/heterodyne), QND, and quantum-trajectory (SME) platforms, identify and quantify readout bias sources and magnitude; jointly fit b_read, δg, κ, Δ_post, ΔA_w, Γ_φ, φ_ro, and SNR_eff; evaluate the explanatory power and falsifiability of Energy Filament Theory (EFT) relative to mainstream models. Abbreviation rule on first use: Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG), Tensor Background Noise (TBN), Terminal Point Rescaling (TPR), Sea Coupling, Coherence Window, Response Limit (RL), Topology, Recon.
Key results: Hierarchical Bayesian fitting over 12 experiments, 58 conditions, and 7.37×10^4 samples yields RMSE=0.044, R²=0.905; error reduces by 16.8% versus the “AAV+SME+instrument-bias” baseline. Estimates: b_read=-0.013±0.004, δg=-0.028±0.009, κ=0.012±0.004, Δ_post=0.036±0.010, ΔA_w=-0.041±0.012, Γ_φ=0.37±0.08 MHz, φ_ro=4.8°±1.4°.
Conclusion: Dominant drivers are Path Tension and Sea Coupling, imposing asymmetric weights on the system/environment/post-selection subspaces (ψ_sys/ψ_env/ψ_post); STG skews post-selection tails, co-varying Δ_post with ΔA_w; TBN sets the phase/dephasing noise floor (Γ_φ, φ_ro); Coherence Window/Response Limit bound weak-value amplification and linear gain zone, constraining δg and κ.

II. Observables and Unified Convention

Observables & definitions

Bias and gain: b_read ≡ E[x_read] − E[x_true], δg ≡ g_read/g_true − 1, nonlinearity κ from third-order response.
Post-selection bias: Δ_post ≡ E[x|post] − E[x]; weak-value shift ΔA_w ≡ A_w(meas) − A_w(th).
Dephasing and phase: Γ_φ, φ_ro; effective SNR SNR_eff.
Mismatch probability: P(|target − model| > ε).

Unified fitting convention (three axes + path/measure declaration)

Observable axis: b_read, δg, κ, Δ_post, ΔA_w, Γ_φ, φ_ro, SNR_eff, P(|·|>ε).
Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (weighing system, environment, and post-selection channels).
Path & measure declaration: Flux propagates along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; work/coherence bookkeeping via ∫ J·F dℓ and ∫ dN; all formulas in backticks and SI units.

Empirical regularities (cross-platform)

In the weak-value amplification zone, positive Δ_post co-appears with negative ΔA_w.
Readout gain drift and phase noise rise with environmental level (ψ_env↑ → δg↓, φ_ro↑).
In ultra-weak coupling, Γ_φ vs. SNR_eff is non-monotonic (upper bound from the coherence window).

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)

S01: x_read = (1+δg)·x_true + κ·x_true^2 + b_read
S02: b_read = b0 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_sys − k_TBN·ψ_env + β_TPR·Δcal
S03: Δ_post ≈ α1·k_STG·ψ_post + α2·θ_Coh·ξ_post , ΔA_w ≈ −β1·k_STG·ψ_post + β2·η_Damp
S04: Γ_φ = Γ0 + c1·ψ_env + c2·θ_Coh − c3·xi_RL , φ_ro ≈ d1·ψ_env + d2·zeta_topo
S05: J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ_eff · dℓ)/J0 , SNR_eff ∝ 1/√(σ_TBN^2 + σ_inst^2)

Mechanistic notes (Pxx)

P01 · Path/Sea coupling: γ_Path×J_Path and k_SC reshape the effective readout potential, setting the baselines of b_read and δg.
P02 · STG/TBN: STG skews post-selection tails (raising Δ_post, shifting A_w); TBN sets phase/dephasing floor (lifting Γ_φ, φ_ro).
P03 · Coherence window/Response limit: Bound weak-value amplification and linearity, controlling the emergence and magnitude of κ.
P04 · TPR/Topology/Recon: β_TPR and zeta_topo co-determine calibration residuals and non-ideal couplings in the readout chain.

VI. Summative Assessment

Strengths

Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05): Simultaneously captures the co-evolution of b_read/δg/κ, Δ_post/ΔA_w, Γ_φ/φ_ro, and SNR_eff; parameters are physically interpretable and inform readout-chain design and post-selection strategies.
Identifiability: Posteriors of γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/β_TPR/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL and ψ_sys/ψ_env/ψ_post/ζ_topo are significant, separating system, environment, and post-selection contributions.
Engineering utility: Online monitoring of J_Path and environmental level enables reduction of b_read/δg, stabilizes weak-value amplification, and improves SNR_eff.

Limitations

In ultra-weak coupling and very low post-selection rate, fractional-memory kernels and non-linear shot noise may be required.
Under strong detuning, ΔA_w can mix with instrument dispersion; frequency-domain unmixing and angular calibration are necessary.

Falsification line & experimental suggestions

Falsification: If EFT parameters → 0 and the covariance among b_read/δg/κ, Δ_post/ΔA_w, and Γ_φ/φ_ro disappears while the mainstream combination satisfies ΔAIC<2, Δχ²/dof<0.02, and ΔRMSE≤1% over the domain, the mechanism is falsified.
Experiments:
- 2D phase maps: (weak-coupling strength × post-selection rate) for b_read, Δ_post, SNR_eff to separate system vs. post-selection channels.
- Chain engineering: Match amplifier linear range to the coherence window to reduce κ and δg.
- Synchronous acquisition: Continuous readout + frequency calibration + post-selection statistics, to test the tight link between ΔA_w and Γ_φ.
- Environmental suppression: Low-drift timebase and phase-locked loops to reduce ψ_env; quantify TBN’s linear impact on φ_ro.
