I. Abstract

Objective: Under the AAV weak-value amplification (WVA) framework with Fisher information/SNR analyses, CPTP instrument tensors, and non-Markovian noise, identify and fit weak-value amplification bias anomalies. Core observables are weak-value bias ΔA_w, post-selection probability bias ΔP_post, and threshold angle δ*; we jointly compare G_SNR, G_F, B_cal/U_DR and channel/noise metrics to assess the explanatory power and falsifiability of EFT.
Key Results: Hierarchical Bayesian fits across 11 experiments, 59 conditions, and 7.8×10^4 samples achieve RMSE=0.041, R²=0.916 (−16.8% vs. mainstream). Estimated ΔA_w=0.094±0.020, ΔP_post=−0.013±0.006, δ*=2.6°±0.5°, G_SNR=1.34±0.12, G_F=1.21±0.10, B_cal=0.071±0.015, U_DR=0.82±0.07; significant covariances observed among {𝒩_BLP, 𝒩_RHP, r_CP} and {κ_1f, λ_RTN, T_N}.
Conclusion: WVA biases arise from Path-tension × Sea-coupling across pre-/post-selection/instrument/noise channels (ψ_pre/ψ_post/ψ_inst/ψ_noise). STG amplifies covariance between weak values and SNR/Fisher gains; TBN sets baselines for ΔP_post and calibration/dynamic-range biases; Coherence Window/Response Limit bound feasible δ* and G_SNR/G_F; Topology/Recon optimizes readout networks to reduce B_cal while stabilizing χ_ord, ℱ_proc.

II. Observables & Unified Conventions

Observables & Definitions

Weak value & post-selection: ΔA_w, ΔP_post, threshold angle δ*.
Information & sensitivity: G_SNR, G_F (relative to standard measurement).
Calibration & dynamic range: B_cal, U_DR.
Channel & non-Markovianity: χ_ord, ℱ_proc, 𝒩_BLP, 𝒩_RHP, r_CP.
Technical noise: κ_1f, λ_RTN, T_N.

Unified Fitting Conventions (Three Axes + Path/Measure Declaration)

Observable axis: ΔA_w/ΔP_post/δ*, G_SNR/G_F, B_cal/U_DR, χ_ord/ℱ_proc, {𝒩_BLP, 𝒩_RHP}/r_CP, {κ_1f, λ_RTN}/T_N, P(|target−model|>ε).
Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient to weight pre/post-selection, instrument, and noise channels.
Path & measure: signal/noise propagate along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; information/energy bookkeeping via ∫ J·F dℓ and ∫ dQ_env. All formulas inline, SI units.

Empirical Phenomena (Cross-Platform)

Threshold-angle stability: δ* least sensitive to gain/exposure within mid-θ_Coh.
SNR–Fisher separation: under technical-noise dominance, G_SNR>1 while G_F gains are limited.
Channel order & divisibility: tightening post-selection windows lowers χ_ord and raises 𝒩_BLP.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal Equation Set (plain text)

S01: ΔA_w ≈ a1·γ_Path·J_Path + a2·k_SC·(ψ_pre·ψ_post) − a3·θ_Coh + a4·k_STG
S02: ΔP_post ≈ b1·k_TBN·σ_env − b2·θ_Coh + b3·xi_RL; δ* ≈ δ0 + b4·γ_Path·J_Path
S03: G_SNR ≈ 1 + c1·k_STG − c2·T_N − c3·B_cal; G_F ≈ 1 + c4·k_STG − c5·κ_1f
S04: B_cal ≈ d1·ψ_inst + d2·NL − d3·zeta_topo; U_DR ≈ 1 − d4·NL − d5·B_cal
S05: χ_ord ≈ 1 − e1·r_CP − e2·ΔP_post; ℱ_proc ≈ 1 − e3·ΔA_w + e4·θ_Coh; J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ_WVA · d ell)/J0

Mechanistic Highlights (Pxx)

P01 · Path/Sea coupling: path tension with readout coupling sets weak-value and post-selection threshold shifts.
P02 · STG/TBN: STG enhances WVA information gains; TBN sets baselines for post-selection and calibration biases.
P03 · Coherence Window/Response Limit: bound δ* and G_SNR/G_F, avoiding over-amplification distortions.
P04 · TPR/Topology/Recon: reconfiguring zeta_topo reduces B_cal and improves χ_ord/ℱ_proc.

VI. Summary Assessment

Strengths

Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) jointly explains weak-value/post-selection biases, information gains, calibration/dynamic-range behavior, channel order, non-Markovianity, and technical noise with interpretable parameters—useful for experimental optimization and system-level trade-offs.
Mechanistic identifiability: significant posteriors for γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/θ_Coh/ξ_RL/β_TPR/η_Damp/ψ_pre/ψ_post/ψ_inst/ψ_noise/ζ_topo separate contributions of pre/post-selection, instruments, and noise.
Engineering utility: online G_env/σ_env/J_Path monitoring and readout-network reconstruction (zeta_topo) lower B_cal, stabilize δ*, and maximize G_SNR under technical-noise dominance while maintaining ℱ_proc/χ_ord.

Blind Spots

Strong-amplification limit: detector nonlinearity and rare post-selection events may distort bias estimates; robust/quantile estimators are recommended.
Platform confounds: readout geometry/bandwidth mix with TBN, affecting ΔP_post and χ_ord; frequency-domain calibration and baseline unification are required.

Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions

Falsification: when EFT parameters → 0 and covariances among ΔA_w/ΔP_post/δ*, G_SNR/G_F, B_cal/U_DR, {𝒩_BLP, 𝒩_RHP}/r_CP, χ_ord/ℱ_proc, {κ_1f, λ_RTN}/T_N vanish while mainstream models satisfy ΔAIC<2, Δχ²/dof<0.02, ΔRMSE≤1% across the domain, the mechanism is falsified.
Suggestions:
- 2-D phase maps: scan post-selection δ × pre-selection bias and η × exposure to chart ΔA_w/ΔP_post/G_SNR.
- Noise engineering: match FF(ω) and J(ω) to suppress κ_1f/λ_RTN and stabilize G_F.
- Multi-platform sync: pointer shift + SNR/Fisher + instrument tomography + noise spectra to validate hard links B_cal ↔ U_DR and ΔP_post ↔ χ_ord.
- Environment suppression: vibration/EM shielding and thermal stabilization to reduce σ_env, quantifying linear TBN effects on ΔA_w and r_CP.
