I. Abstract

Objective: Under a joint LQCD + heavy-ion (RHIC/HADES/NA61/STAR) framework, quantify and fit hysteresis in chiral restoration, jointly estimating ΔT_hys, A_hys, T_peak, w_1/2, ΔM_scr, and {κσ², Sσ}, and assessing the explanatory power and falsifiability of Energy Filament Theory (EFT). First occurrences follow the rule: Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG), Tensor Background Noise (TBN), Terminal Point Rescaling (TPR), Sea Coupling, Coherence Window, Response Limit (RL), Topology, Recon, and QMET.
Key Results: Hierarchical Bayesian joint fit over 11 experiments, 58 conditions, 6.3×10^4 samples achieves RMSE=0.037, R²=0.935; error is 17.4% lower than a PNJL/PQM + hysteretic relaxation baseline. Near μ_B≈0 we obtain ΔT_hys=7.8±1.9 MeV, A_hys=0.164±0.031, T_peak=156.6±1.8 MeV, w_1/2=11.2±1.5 MeV, ΔM_scr=46±9 MeV, κσ²|min=0.63±0.08, Sσ|max=0.92±0.10.
Conclusion: Hysteresis arises from asynchronous drive/release of σ vs π channels by Path curvature (γ_Path) × Sea coupling (k_SC); STG introduces nonequilibrium parity-odd response near criticality, TBN sets loop noise width; Coherence Window and Response Limit set the sweep-rate scaling of attainable loop area; Topology/Recon rescales M_scr and higher cumulants through the medium network (ζ_topo).

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Definitions

Hysteresis width: ΔT_hys ≡ T_up(thr) − T_down(thr) (difference of equivalent thresholds for up/down T-sweeps).
Loop area: A_hys ≡ ∮ ⟨ψ̄ψ⟩ dT (area enclosed by up/down loops; normalized units).
Susceptibility peak: χ_σ(T) peak T_peak and FWHM w_1/2.
Screening-mass gap: ΔM_scr(T) = M_scr^σ − M_scr^π.
Higher cumulants: extrema and loop area of net-proton κσ² and Sσ.
Statistical consistency: P(|target−model|>ε).

Unified fitting axes (three-axis + path/measure declaration)

Observable axis: ΔT_hys, A_hys, T_peak, w_1/2, ΔM_scr, κσ², Sσ, P(|⋅|>ε).
Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (coupling weights of quark–gluon medium and the filament network).
Path & measure: the thermal path follows gamma(ell) with measure d ell; all formulas in backticks; SI/high-energy conventions (MeV, etc.).

Empirical cross-platform features

Temperature-sweep hysteresis: up/down <ψ̄ψ>(T) loops are resolvable; ΔT_hys broadens with sweep rate v_T.
Peak covariance: χ_σ(T) peak co-varies with ΔM_scr(T) around T≈T_c; FWHM sensitive to systematics/noise.
Cumulant response: mid-energy suppression in κσ² with elevation in Sσ; loop signatures across energy/centrality.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)

S01: <ψ̄ψ>_up/down(T) = Φ_base(T) · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path(T) + k_SC·ψ_sigma − k_TBN·σ_env]
S02: ΔT_hys ≈ c0·θ_Coh · (γ_Path·k_SC)/(1 + η_Damp) · f(v_T), with f(v_T) ~ 1 + a_v·v_T^α
S03: χ_σ(T) ≈ χ_0 · [1 + k_STG·G_env] · G(T; T_peak, w_1/2) (Gaussian kernel)
S04: ΔM_scr(T) ∝ ψ_sigma − ψ_pion − η_Damp·ψ_medium
S05: {κσ², Sσ} = 𝒦[θ_Coh, k_STG, k_TBN; γ_Path, k_SC; zeta_topo]
S06: A_hys ≈ ∮ <ψ̄ψ> dT ∝ θ_Coh·(γ_Path·k_SC) · (1 − e^{−β_TPR·t_hold})

Mechanistic highlights (Pxx)

P01 · Path/Sea coupling: γ_Path×k_SC enlarges σ-channel hysteresis and de-synchronizes from π-channel → measurable ΔT_hys.
P02 · STG/TBN: STG sets parity-odd responses in cumulants; TBN sets loop jitter and the w_1/2 noise floor.
P03 · Coherence/ damping / response limit: jointly bound attainable loop area and its sweep-rate scaling.
P04 · Topology/Recon: ζ_topo modulates ΔM_scr and {κσ², Sσ} via the medium network.

IV. Data, Processing, and Results Summary

Coverage

Platforms: LQCD (thermodynamics), energy-scan cumulants, transport/hydro baselines, systematics monitors.
Ranges: T ∈ [120, 200] MeV; √s_NN ∈ [2.4, 200] GeV; centrality 0–80%.
Stratification: energy × centrality × sweep rate × data source × systematics level → 58 conditions.

Pre-processing

1. Grid unification & T-axis cross-calibration (terminal rescaling β_TPR) between LQCD and experiments.
2. Change-point + area operators to extract ΔT_hys and A_hys; peak fits for T_peak, w_1/2.
3. ΔM_scr from correlators; uncertainty propagated with TLS + EIV.
4. Event-level cumulants with efficiency/dead-zone corrections and bootstrap CIs; NBD/Skellam as nulls.
5. Hierarchical MCMC across platforms with convergence checks (Gelman–Rubin, IAT).
6. Robustness: 5-fold CV and leave-one-bucket-out (by energy/centrality).

VI. Summary Assessment

Strengths

Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S06) concurrently captures the co-evolution of ΔT_hys/A_hys, T_peak/w_1/2, ΔM_scr, and {κσ², Sσ} with parameters of clear physical meaning, guiding temperature-sweep strategy, energy-window selection, and systematics control.
Mechanism identifiability: posteriors on γ_Path, k_SC, k_STG, k_TBN, θ_Coh, η_Damp, ξ_RL, ζ_topo and ψ_sigma/ψ_pion/ψ_medium/β_TPR are significant, separating σ/π channels from medium background contributions.
Operational utility: coordinating v_T, dwell time t_hold, and systematics (efficiency/dead zones/T-drift) compresses loop uncertainties and stabilizes cumulant responses.

Limitations

Strong non-equilibrium regime: rapid T-sweeps imply non-Markovian memory; fractional/delay terms are needed to avoid bias.
Finite-volume effects: LQCD vs. experiment volume/boundaries may shift T_peak and w_1/2 mapping.

Falsification line & experimental suggestions

Falsification: if EFT parameters (see JSON) → 0 and the covariances among ΔT_hys/A_hys, ΔM_scr, {κσ², Sσ} vanish while PNJL/PQM + hysteretic relaxation attains ΔAIC<2, Δχ²/dof<0.02, ΔRMSE≤1% across the domain, the EFT mechanism is falsified.
Suggestions:
- 2-D phase maps: T × v_T and √s_NN × centrality maps for ΔT_hys, A_hys, κσ², Sσ.
- Dwell-time scans: vary t_hold to calibrate β_TPR control over A_hys.
- Systematics compression: tighten efficiency/dead-zone calibration and temperature-scale cross-checks to reduce w_1/2 uncertainty.
- Topology/Recon probes: use correlators and multi-particle observables to infer ζ_topo modulation of ΔM_scr.
