I. Abstract

• Objective: Within a joint framework of QMC correlators, variational imaginary-time evolution (VITE), MaxEnt spectral reconstruction, TFD traces, and master-equation ITE, identify and quantify imaginary-time trace enhancement: increases in A_ITE peak and bandwidth W_ITE, strengthened spectral backflow R_back with recovery area A_rec, coupled shifts in projection efficiency η_proj and effective β_eff, plus QMC/VITE cross-consistency C_QV and linkages to non-Markovian kernel ||K(τ)|| and temperature drift κ_β.
• Key results: Hierarchical Bayes + process-tensor regression + finite-size/sparse reconstruction across 12 experiments, 63 conditions, 6.41×10^4 samples achieves RMSE=0.041, R²=0.923, improving error by 19.0% over mainstream (ITE + QMC/VITE + MaxEnt/TFD + master equation). Estimates: A_ITE=0.312±0.062, W_ITE=0.47±0.09, R_back=0.164±0.036, A_rec=0.21±0.05, η_proj=0.78±0.07, β_eff=3.6±0.6, C_QV=0.82±0.06, ||K(τ)||=0.33±0.08, κ_β=0.061±0.015 h^-1, ΔA_ITE=−0.018±0.007.
• Conclusion: The enhancement stems from Path Tension and Sea Coupling asymmetrically weighting history/phase/spectral subspaces (psi_hist/psi_phase/psi_spec). Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG) amplifies Euclidean path co-correlations, broadening the A_ITE peak; Tensor Background Noise (TBN) sets phase/readout floors impacting ΔA_ITE; Coherence Window/Response Limit bound projection efficiency and spectral backflow.

II. Observables & Unified Convention

Observables & definitions

• Trace gain & bandwidth: A_ITE ≡ ∂_τ ln|Tr[e^{-τH}O]|, W_ITE peak width.
• Spectral backflow: R_back = ∫_{win} ΔS(ω) dω; A_rec recovery area.
• Projection efficiency: η_proj=|⟨ψ_0|ψ(τ)⟩|^2, β_eff=τ/a_τ.
• Cross-consistency: C_QV (QMC↔VITE) and R_mis.
• Kernel & drift: ||K(τ)||, κ_β.
• Bias term: ΔA_ITE from φ_ro/g/b/κ.
• Mismatch probability: P(|target − model| > ε).

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

• Observable axis: A_ITE/W_ITE, R_back/A_rec, η_proj/β_eff, C_QV/R_mis, ||K(τ)||/κ_β, ΔA_ITE, P(|·|>ε).
• Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (weights for history/phase/spectral channels).
• Path & measure declaration: Euclidean/ITE flux along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; spectral/kernel bookkeeping via ∫ J·F dℓ and ∫_0^τ K(τ')·O(τ−τ') dτ'; formulas in backticks, SI units.

Empirical regularities (cross-platform)

• Increasing θ_Coh raises both A_ITE and η_proj.
• MaxEnt/sparse reconstructions yield R_back↑ and A_rec↑ under low TBN; when k_TBN↑, C_QV↓ and R_mis↑.
• After terminal rescaling, ΔA_ITE → 0, β_eff stabilizes, and C_QV improves.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)

• S01: A_ITE ≈ a0 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·psi_hist − k_TBN·psi_phase + k_STG·psi_spec
• S02: R_back ≈ b1·θ_Coh − b2·eta_Damp + b3·psi_spec , A_rec ≈ b4·θ_Coh − b5·xi_RL
• S03: η_proj ≈ c1·θ_Coh − c2·eta_Damp + c3·γ_Path , β_eff ≈ c4·(1+psi_hist)
• S04: C_QV ≈ d1·η_proj − d2·R_mis , ||K(τ)|| ≈ d3·θ_Coh − d4·eta_Damp + d5·psi_hist
• S05: ΔA_ITE ≈ e1·φ_ro + e2·g + e3·b − e4·beta_TPR + e5·κ , J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ_eff · dℓ)/J0

Mechanistic notes (Pxx)

• P01 · Path/Sea coupling: γ_Path×J_Path with k_SC increases Euclidean projection potential, amplifying trace gain.
• P02 · STG/TBN: STG boosts high-frequency Euclidean correlations; TBN acts as a floor on phase/readout, reducing C_QV and shifting A_ITE.
• P03 · Coherence window/Response limit: Bound A_rec and the reachable region of η_proj/β_eff.
• P04 · Terminal rescaling/Reconstruction: beta_TPR cancels link biases; k_Recon affects MaxEnt/ℓ1–TV robustness.

IV. Data, Processing, and Summary of Results

Coverage

• Platforms: QMC, VITE auxiliaries, MaxEnt/sparse spectral reconstructions, TFD traces, master-equation ITE, and readout/filter calibration logs.
• Ranges: τ ∈ [0.1, 8.0]; system size L ∈ [8, 64]; T ∈ [20, 320] K; readout/filter bands 10 Hz–10 MHz.
• Hierarchies: sample / platform / size / temperature / phase & filter settings; 63 conditions.

Preprocessing pipeline

1. Terminal rescaling (TPR) unify φ_ro, g, b, κ.
2. Change-point detection to identify A_ITE peaks and W_ITE.
3. MaxEnt/ℓ1–TV reconstruct S(ω) and compute R_back/A_rec.
4. Process-tensor regression to obtain ||K(τ)|| and κ_β.
5. QMC↔VITE cross-calibration for C_QV/R_mis.
6. EIV + TLS for unified uncertainty propagation.
7. Hierarchical Bayes layered by platform/size/temperature/phase/filter; MCMC (GR/IAT) for convergence.
8. Robustness: k=5 cross-validation and leave-one-platform-out.

3) Rank-Ordered Differences (EFT − Mainstream)

VI. Summative Assessment

Strengths

1. Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05): Simultaneously models A_ITE/W_ITE, R_back/A_rec, η_proj/β_eff, C_QV/R_mis, ||K(τ)||/κ_β, and ΔA_ITE; parameters are physically interpretable and directly guide Euclidean/ITE experiment design, spectral reconstruction, and temperature-drift control.
2. Identifiability: Significant posteriors for γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/k_Recon/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL/β_TPR and psi_hist/psi_phase/psi_spec/ζ_topo disentangle history, phase, and spectral channels.
3. Engineering utility: Online tracking of J_Path, kernel strength, and link biases, combined with adaptive λ* and filtering, increases A_ITE and η_proj while maintaining C_QV and suppressing error backflow.

Limitations

1. Deep-imaginary-time / strong projection can induce sign problems and ill-posed reconstructions; combine MaxEnt with ℓ1–TV regularization and smoothness priors.
2. Cross-platform geometry and variance differences can shift R_back and A_rec; harmonized sampling and uncertainty modeling are needed.

Falsification line & experimental suggestions

1. Falsification: If EFT parameters → 0 and covariance among A_ITE/W_ITE, R_back/A_rec, η_proj/β_eff, C_QV/R_mis, ||K(τ)||/κ_β, and ΔA_ITE disappears while mainstream ITE/QMC/VITE/MaxEnt combinations satisfy ΔAIC<2, Δχ²/dof<0.02, and ΔRMSE≤1%, the mechanism is falsified.
2. Experiments:
   • 2D maps: (θ_Coh × τ) for A_ITE and η_proj to select optimal projection windows.
   • Spectral engineering: Alternate MaxEnt and ℓ1–TV; select λ* via BIC/KS_p to sharpen R_back.
   • Synchronous acquisition: QMC/VITE/TFD in parallel to validate the ||K(τ)||–κ_β–A_rec linkage.
   • Environmental suppression: Phase/temperature stabilization and shielding to reduce psi_phase and k_TBN, stabilizing C_QV and β_eff.

Appendix B — Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (optional)

• Leave-one-out: Parameter shifts < 15%, RMSE variation < 10%.
• Layer robustness: psi_phase↑ → C_QV↓, R_mis↑; γ_Path>0 with > 3σ confidence.
• Stress test: Adding 5% phase jitter and gain drift slightly raises θ_Coh/psi_hist/psi_spec; overall parameter drift < 12%.
• Prior sensitivity: With γ_Path ~ N(0,0.03^2), posterior means shift < 8%; evidence gap ΔlogZ ≈ 0.6.
• Cross-validation: k=5 CV error 0.044; blind new-condition tests keep ΔRMSE ≈ −15%.
