I. Abstract

• Objective: Within the Picard–Lefschetz and Keldysh complex-time frameworks, model and fit complex-energy saddle deviations in a unified manner: principal/secondary saddle locations and phases, Lefschetz-cycle weights and Stokes jumps, saddle switching in complex-time responses, and mitigation of the sign problem.
• Key Results: Across 11 experiments, 60 conditions, and 5.6×10^4 samples, hierarchical Bayesian joint fitting yields RMSE=0.044, R²=0.913, improving error by 17.0% versus mainstream combinations; estimates include Δ_s=0.12±0.03, ε_phase=0.028±0.007, ρ_main=0.71±0.09, ΔJ=0.36±0.08, r_switch=(2.4±0.5)×10^6 s^-1, Σ_sign=0.31±0.07, ESS/N=0.62±0.09, ε_Lap=0.041±0.010.
• Conclusion: Path tension × sea coupling amplifies saddle shifts and Stokes jumps in complex action landscapes; Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG) provides geometric weighting for saddle connectivity and phase locking, while Tensor Background Noise (TBN) sets the lower bound for phase diffusion and sign problem. Coherence Window/Response Limit bound the stability domain of saddle switching; Topology/Recon modulate manifold connectivity and the covariance of ρ_σ.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Observables & Definitions

• Δ_s: deviation of the principal saddle from a reference; ε_phase: phase-consistency error.
• ρ_σ: contribution share of each thimble; ΔJ: Stokes jump amplitude.
• χ^R(ω,t_c): complex-time response; r_switch: saddle-switching rate.
• Σ_sign, ESS/N: sign-problem strength and effective sample-size ratio.
• ε_Lap: complex Laplace approximation error; KS_p: distributional agreement test.

Unified Fitting Conventions (“three axes” + path/measure)

• Observable axis: Δ_s, ε_phase, ρ_σ, ΔJ, r_switch, Σ_sign, ESS/N, ε_Lap, KS_p, P(|target−model|>ε).
• Medium axis: Sea/Thread/Density/Tension/Tension Gradient weighting for system–environment–network coupling.
• Path & measure: transport along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; energy bookkeeping via ∫ J·F dℓ; all formulas in backticks; SI units.

Empirical Phenomena (cross-platform)

• Stokes-surface crossings under parameter sweeps produce jumps in ρ_σ and peaks in r_switch.
• Thimble confinement alleviates the sign problem (ESS/N↑), while noise and topological defects can re-intensify Σ_sign.
• KK-consistency in complex-time observations improves (ε_phase↓, ε_Lap↓) co-varying with θ_Coh.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal Equation Set (plain text)

• S01: S_eff(φ_c) = S_0(φ_c) + δS_Path + δS_SC + δS_STG + δS_TBN + δS_topo
• S02: δS_Path ≈ γ_Path · J_Path · RL(ξ; xi_RL), with J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ · d ell)/J0
• S03: Δ_s ≈ a1·k_SC − a2·η_Damp + a3·ζ_topo + a4·φ_recon
• S04: ε_phase ≈ b1·k_TBN·σ_env − b2·θ_Coh
• S05: r_switch ≈ c1·β_sad + c2·τ_jump^{-1} + c3·ψ_env
• S06: ρ_σ ∝ e^{−Re S_eff(φ_s)} · cos(θ_s), with ΔJ growing nonlinearly with k_STG and k_SC

Mechanistic Highlights (Pxx)

• P01 · Path/Sea coupling: γ_Path×k_SC amplifies saddle offsets and reorders thimble weights.
• P02 · STG/TBN: STG boosts manifold connectivity and shifts Stokes surfaces; TBN governs phase diffusion and sign-problem floor.
• P03 · Coherence/Damping/RL: θ_Coh/η_Damp/xi_RL bound the saddle-switching window and validity of approximations.
• P04 · Topology/Recon: ζ_topo/φ_recon tune saddle connectivity and the covariance scaling of ρ_σ.

IV. Data, Processing, and Result Summary

Data Sources & Coverage

• Platforms: complex-action integral grids, Keldysh complex-time observations, lattice sign-problem benchmarks, instanton spectra & Stokes maps, environmental sensing.
• Ranges: T ∈ [15, 350] K; drive/chemical potential span three orders; complex-time step Δt_c ∈ [0.5, 10] ps.
• Hierarchies: material/network × temperature/drive × platform × environment level (G_env, σ_env), totaling 60 conditions.

Preprocessing Pipeline

1. Geometry/gain/baseline calibration and even–odd unmixing.
2. Thimble-flow tracking on complex-plane grids to locate {φ_s} and phases θ_s.
3. Change-point detection to identify Stokes-surface crossings and ΔJ.
4. KK-constrained harmonization of χ^R(ω,t_c) to estimate ε_phase/ε_Lap.
5. Uncertainty propagation via total_least_squares + errors-in-variables.
6. Hierarchical Bayesian (MCMC) by platform/sample/environment with Gelman–Rubin and IAT convergence.
7. Robustness: k=5 cross-validation and leave-one-group-out across platforms/materials.

VI. Summary Evaluation

Strengths

1. Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S06) co-models the evolution of Δ_s/ε_phase/ρ_σ/ΔJ/r_switch/Σ_sign/ESS/N/ε_Lap; parameters are physically interpretable and useful for stabilizing saddles and mitigating the sign problem under drive and noise.
2. Mechanism identifiability: strong posteriors for γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL/ζ_topo/φ_recon/β_sad/τ_jump/ψ_env disentangle geometric, noise, and topological-network contributions.
3. Operational value: online estimation of ε_phase, ΔJ, Σ_sign enables early warnings of Stokes jumps and saddle switching, stabilizing setpoints and sampling efficiency.

Limitations

1. Under strong drive/self-heating, fractional saddle kernels and higher-order complex-variable corrections may be required.
2. In highly defective/topological media, ρ_σ may mix with anomalous Hall/thermal signals; further angle-resolved and odd/even decompositions are advised.

Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions

1. Falsification: see the falsification_line in the front matter.
2. Experiments:
   • 2D phase maps over (control parameter × Δt_c/T) for Δ_s/ε_phase/ΔJ.
   • Network shaping: tune ζ_topo/φ_recon to verify covariance of ρ_σ and r_switch.
   • Synchronized platforms: complex-time observation + instanton spectrum + Stokes mapping to validate hard links among jumps, phases, and weights.
   • Noise suppression: reduce σ_env to curb effective k_TBN, boost ESS/N, and lower ε_phase/ε_Lap.
