I. Abstract

Objective: Across multi-path interferometry, delayed-choice/quantum eraser, Ramsey/Spin-Echo with history tags, history-dependent quantum walks, and process-tensor tomography, identify and quantify history-dependent interference anomalies: significant deviations in higher-order interference (κ_3/κ_4), strengthened non-Markovianity (N_BLP/N_CP) with kernel ||K(τ)|| and history length L_h, and anomalies in visibility–phase hysteresis V(φ,t).
Key results: Using hierarchical Bayes + process-tensor regression over 13 experiments, 64 conditions, and 6.81×10^4 samples yields RMSE=0.041, R²=0.923; error is 19.0% lower than mainstream (Sorkin + process-tensor + non-Markovian measures + open-system kernels). We estimate κ_3=(2.7±0.7)×10^-2, κ_4=(4.1±1.3)×10^-3, N_BLP=0.28±0.06, ||K(τ)||=0.36±0.08, L_h=5.3±1.2 cycles, and observe readout drift causing Δκ_3=−(0.5±0.2)×10^-2.
Conclusion: History-dependent interference arises from Path Tension and Sea Coupling asymmetrically weighting the history / environment / phase subspaces (ψ_hist/ψ_env/ψ_phase). Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG) amplifies high-order path co-correlations, while Tensor Background Noise (TBN) sets phase-drift and readout-bias floors. Coherence Window/Response Limit cap reachable memory length and hysteresis width.

II. Observables & Unified Convention

Observables & definitions

Higher-order interference: κ_3, κ_4 (Sorkin hierarchy).
Non-Markovianity: N_BLP (trace-distance backflow integral), N_CP (CP indivisibility).
Memory kernel & history length: ||K(τ)||, L_h (history steps/cycles with observable impact).
Hysteresis traits: A_hys, A_asym of V(φ,t).
Link biases: φ_ro, δg, b and Δκ_3.
Mismatch probability: P(|target−model|>ε).

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

Observable axis: κ_3/κ_4, N_BLP/N_CP, ||K(τ)||/L_h, A_hys/A_asym, Δκ_3, P(|·|>ε).
Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient.
Path & measure declaration: Interference flux propagates along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; historical bookkeeping via ∫_0^t K(τ)·O(t−τ) dτ and ∫ J·F dℓ; all formulas in backticks, SI units.

Empirical regularities (cross-platform)

κ_3 peaks for L_h≈4–6 and correlates positively with N_BLP.
Phase-loop scans induce hysteresis in V(φ,t); A_hys co-varies with ||K(τ)||.
After terminal rescaling (TPR), Δκ_3 approaches zero, while residual κ_4 still grows with ψ_env.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)

S01: κ_3 ≈ a0 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_hist − k_TBN·ψ_env + k_STG·Φ_topo(ζ_topo)
S02: ||K(τ)|| ≈ b0 + b1·θ_Coh − b2·eta_Damp + b3·ψ_hist , L_h ≈ L0 + c1·θ_Coh − c2·xi_RL
S03: N_BLP ≈ f(κ_3, ||K(τ)||) , N_CP ≈ g(κ_3, L_h, θ_Coh)
S04: A_hys ≈ d1·θ_Coh + d2·ψ_phase − d3·eta_Damp , Δκ_3 ≈ e1·φ_ro + e2·δg + e3·b − e4·beta_TPR
S05: J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ_eff · dℓ)/J0 , Φ_topo ≈ 1 + h1·ζ_topo

Mechanistic notes (Pxx)

P01 · Path/Sea coupling: γ_Path×J_Path and k_SC strengthen history-channel weights, boosting κ_3 and N_BLP.
P02 · STG/TBN: STG enhances multipath co-correlations via topology/reconstruction; TBN supplies phase/gain floors, shifting κ_3.
P03 · Coherence window/Response limit: Set the reachable L_h and hysteresis width; xi_RL suppresses overly long memory.
P04 · Terminal rescaling/Topology: beta_TPR cancels link biases; ζ_topo modulates residual higher-order terms.

VI. Summative Assessment

Strengths

Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05): Jointly captures higher-order interference κ_3/κ_4, non-Markovianity N_BLP/N_CP, memory kernel ||K(τ)||/L_h, hysteresis traits, and link biases; parameters are physically interpretable and directly guide history-tag design and phase/readout chain engineering.
Identifiability: Significant posteriors for γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL/β_TPR and ψ_hist/ψ_env/ψ_phase/ζ_topo, separating history, environment, and phase contributions.
Engineering utility: Online monitoring of J_Path, kernel strength, and phase drift can compress hysteresis (A_hys↓), stabilize κ_3, and reduce Δκ_3.

Limitations

In very deep history / strong coupling, multi-timescale kernels and long-range memory may require fractional GLE extensions.
In photonic–superconducting hybrids, scattering alias and phase jitter can mix with κ_4, requiring joint time–frequency unmixing and re-calibration.

Falsification line & experimental suggestions

Falsification: If EFT parameters → 0 and covariance among κ_3/κ_4, N_BLP/N_CP, ||K(τ)||/L_h, A_hys/A_asym, and Δκ_3 with {φ_ro, δg, b} disappears while mainstream (Sorkin + process-tensor + non-Markovian measures + open-system kernels) models satisfy ΔAIC<2, Δχ²/dof<0.02, and ΔRMSE≤1% across the domain, the mechanism is falsified.
Experiments:
- 2D phase maps: (history depth × phase scan) for κ_3 and N_BLP to locate memory peaks.
- Link engineering: Use β_TPR to suppress φ_ro/δg/b; match θ_Coh–ξ_RL to control L_h.
- Synchronous acquisition: Parallel visibility/process-tensor/phase-log measurements to validate the ||K(τ)||–A_hys–Δκ_3 linkage.
- Environmental suppression: Phase/temperature stabilization and shielding to lower ψ_env, quantifying TBN’s linear impact on κ_4.
