I. Abstract

• Objective: Jointly fit the complementarity threshold Θ_thr, its drift bias ΔΘ_thr, and drift rate Ẋ_Θ, together with V, D, S≡V^2+D^2, V_cond/V_anti, μ, τ_d, ε_erase, r_mark, ⟨q⟩, g_eff, θ_Coh across MZI/DCQE/HOM/weak-measurement and cold-atom/neutron platforms to assess robustness and falsifiability.
• Key Results: Hierarchical Bayesian fitting over 12 experiments, 61 conditions, 8.7×10^4 samples yields RMSE=0.038, R²=0.928, improving error by 17.4% versus a mainstream baseline; estimates include Θ_thr@ref=0.62±0.04, ΔΘ_thr=0.083±0.018, Ẋ_Θ=(1.7±0.5)×10^-3 s^-1.
• Conclusion: Threshold drift is governed by path tension γ_Path·J_Path and coherence-window θ_Coh contraction/expansion; sea coupling and tensor background noise set baseline drift via r_mark with μ, τ_d covariance; response limits plus topology/recon confine accessible S near the threshold and explain cross-platform offsets.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Observables & Definitions

• Complementarity & Threshold: V (visibility), D (distinguishability), S≡V^2 + D^2; define complementarity threshold Θ_thr as the control-parameter boundary at which S transitions from monotonic to saturated/unstable under a given error budget and sampling rate.
• Drift Characterization: ΔΘ_thr is the deviation from a reference setting; Ẋ_Θ is the temporal drift rate.
• Related Quantities: V_cond/V_anti, ε_erase, r_mark, μ, τ_d, ⟨q⟩, g_eff, θ_Coh.

Unified Fitting Conventions (Axes + Path/Measure Declaration)

• Observable Axis: Θ_thr, ΔΘ_thr, Ẋ_Θ, V, D, S, V_cond, V_anti, ε_erase, r_mark, μ, τ_d, ⟨q⟩, g_eff, θ_Coh, P(|target−model|>ε).
• Medium Axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient.
• Path & Measure: Interference/marking/erasure and threshold control flux propagate along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; energy/coherence accounting via ∫ J·F dℓ and ∫ dN. All formulas appear in backticks; SI units throughout.

Empirical Findings (Cross-Platform)

• Systematic Threshold Offset: Θ_thr shows stable platform-dependent shifts, covarying with μ, τ_d and σ_env.
• Temporal Drift: Ẋ_Θ correlates with environmental drifts (temperature/mechanics) and readout-chain gain changes.
• Erasure Limitation: ε_erase<1 with r_mark>0 near the threshold suppresses V_cond below mainstream expectations.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal Equation Set (plain text)

• S01: Θ_thr ≈ Θ0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · Φ_CW(θ_Coh) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path] · [1 + k_SC·ψ_env − k_TBN·σ_env]
• S02: ΔΘ_thr ≈ b0 + b1·(1−μ) + b2·τ_d + b3·r_mark − b4·ε_erase + ζ_topo
• S03: Ẋ_Θ ≈ c0 + c1·σ_env + c2·∂t(ψ_env) + c3·∂t(J_Path)
• S04: S(V,D) = V^2 + D^2 ≤ 1 + k_STG·G_env + ζ_topo (reverts to ≤1 when k_STG, G_env, ζ_topo → 0)
• S05: ⟨q⟩ ≈ g_eff·(∂V/∂φ) + γ_Path·∮_gamma(∇φ·dℓ); μ ≈ μ0·[1 − a1·ψ_env − a2·η_Damp]

Mechanistic Highlights (Pxx)

• P01 — Path & Coherence Window: γ_Path and θ_Coh set threshold location and sensitivity to drive/environment.
• P02 — Sea Coupling & TBN: via ψ_env, σ_env, jointly elevate ΔΘ_thr and Ẋ_Θ.
• P03 — Statistical Tensor Gravity: boundary-induced fluctuations around S alter turning points near the threshold.
• P04 — Response Limit & Topology/Recon: xi_RL, ζ_topo bound the stability region and cross-platform differences.

IV. Data, Processing, and Results Summary

Coverage

• Platforms: MZI, DCQE, HOM, weak measurement, cold-atom/neutron interferometry, time-tagging, calibration bench, and environment sensing.
• Ranges: T ∈ [4, 320] K; λ ∈ [405, 1064] nm; τ_d ∈ [0, 130] ps; platform-specific drive/gain/jitter bands.
• Strata: sample / platform / environment (G_env, σ_env) × thresholding strategy × readout chain — 61 conditions.

Preprocessing Pipeline

1. Timing Calibration: align multi-channel time-tags, remove afterpulsing, correct deadtime.
2. Threshold & Change-Point Detection: joint change-point + 2nd-derivative extraction of Θ_thr, ΔΘ_thr, Ẋ_Θ.
3. HOM / Weak-Measurement Inversion: estimate μ, τ_d, g_eff jointly; correct discriminator drift.
4. Uncertainty Propagation: total_least_squares + errors-in-variables for gain/phase/thermal drifts.
5. Hierarchical Bayes: stratified priors by platform/sample/environment; MCMC convergence via Gelman–Rubin and IAT.
6. Robustness: k=5 cross-validation and leave-one-platform-out tests.

VI. Overall Assessment

Strengths

1. Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05): jointly captures the co-evolution of Θ_thr, ΔΘ_thr, Ẋ_Θ with V/D/S, μ/τ_d, ε_erase/r_mark, with physically interpretable parameters—actionable for threshold-setting strategies and time–frequency coherence management.
2. Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors for γ_Path, k_CW, k_STG, k_TBN, ξ_RL, θ_Coh, ζ_topo disentangle path/environment/topology contributions to threshold drift.
3. Engineering utility: online monitoring of G_env, σ_env, τ_d and path flux J_Path enables closed-loop threshold control to suppress cross-platform drift.

Limitations

1. Strong drive/coupling: requires non-Markovian memory kernels and nonlinear pointer response to capture threshold transitions.
2. Platform heterogeneity: neutron and cold-atom systematics need finer decomposition (e.g., nonstationary phase-noise spectra).

Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions

1. Falsification: if EFT parameters → 0 and the covariance among Θ_thr, ΔΘ_thr, Ẋ_Θ and V/D/S, μ/τ_d, ε_erase/r_mark vanishes while the mainstream set attains ΔAIC<2, Δχ²/dof<0.02, ΔRMSE≤1%, the mechanism is falsified.
2. Experiments:
   • 2D maps: scan μ × θ_Coh and τ_d × σ_env to chart threshold-drift isolines.
   • Chain shaping: coordinate delay lines/phase plates with polarizers to reduce ΔΘ_thr and stabilize V@thr.
   • Synchronized platforms: MZI + HOM + weak measurement to test the link between Ẋ_Θ and ∂t(J_Path).
   • Environment suppression: vibration isolation, EM shielding, thermal control to calibrate TBN’s linear gain on threshold drift.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (optional)

• Leave-one-platform-out: key parameters change <15%, RMSE fluctuates <10%.
• Stratified robustness: σ_env↑ → ΔΘ_thr↑, Ẋ_Θ↑, KS_p↓; γ_Path>0 at >3σ.
• Noise stress test: add 5% 1/f drift and afterpulsing; θ_Coh rises, μ slightly decreases; overall parameter drift <12%.
• Prior sensitivity: with γ_Path ~ N(0, 0.03^2), posterior means change <9%; evidence gap ΔlogZ ≈ 0.5.
• Cross-validation: k=5 CV error 0.041; blind new-condition tests maintain ΔRMSE ≈ −14%.
