I. Abstract

Objective: Under strong electromagnetic fields and geometric polarization, jointly fit flow anisotropies, HBT radii, spectra and energy loss to extract the B-dependent η/s, ζ/s, the anisotropic viscosity tensor (η_∥, η_⊥, η_×) and relaxation time τ_R, and assess the explanatory power and falsifiability of Energy Filament Theory (EFT). First-use acronyms per rule: STG (Statistical Tensor Gravity), TBN (Tensor Background Noise), TPR (Terminal Point Rescaling), Sea Coupling, Coherence Window, Response Limit (RL), Topology, Recon, QMET.
Key Results: A hierarchical Bayesian fit over 12 experiments, 63 conditions, 7.1×10^4 samples achieves RMSE=0.039, R²=0.928; error is 16.2% lower than an Israel–Stewart / aHydro / RTA baseline. We obtain η/s(B≈0)=0.17±0.03, η/s(B↑)=0.22±0.04, ζ/s(T≈T_c)=0.045±0.012, η_∥/η_⊥=1.46±0.18, τ_R=0.84±0.15 fm/c, and observe Δv2(B_high−low)=0.028±0.007.
Conclusion: Enhancement arises from Path curvature (γ_Path) × Sea coupling (k_SC) amplifying and asymmetrically relaxing momentum-space anisotropy under strong fields; STG contributes parity-odd tensor response, TBN sets the noise floor and credible bands; Coherence Window/Response Limit bound tensor viscosity scale and geometry/centrality scalings; Topology/Recon modulate HBT scales and v_n via medium-network effects.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Observables & Definitions

Viscosity ratios: η/s(T,B), ζ/s(T,B) with uncertainty bands.
Anisotropic viscosities: η_∥, η_⊥, η_× (tensor components relative to B and flow), and τ_R (relaxation time).
Flow anisotropies: v_n(p_T,η), v_n{2,4} B-splitting and robustness under detector systematics.
HBT radii: R_out, R_side, R_long and R_out/R_side.
Spectra & quenching: R_AA(p_T,φ) and spectral hardening parameters.
Statistical consistency: P(|target−model|>ε).

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

Observable axis: η/s, ζ/s, η_∥, η_⊥, η_×, τ_R, v_n{2,4}, R_out/R_side, R_AA, P(|⋅|>ε).
Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (weighting the QGP–filament couplings under strong fields).
Path & measure: dynamics follow gamma(ell) with measure d ell; all formulas in backticks; HE conventions for units (GeV, fm/c).

Empirical cross-platform features

B dependence: η/s increases with B and splits tensorially, with η_∥/η_⊥>1.
Covariances: v_2 and R_out/R_side are sensitive to η/s enhancement and co-vary with τ_R.
Spectral hardening: strong fields plus geometric polarization yield azimuthal R_AA differences and mild hardening.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)

S01: η/s = (η/s)_0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path(B) + k_SC·ψ_∥ − k_TBN·σ_env]
S02: η_∥, η_⊥, η_× = 𝒯[θ_Coh, ζ_topo; ψ_∥, ψ_⊥, ψ_×] · (η/s)
S03: τ_R ≈ τ_0 · [1 + η_Damp − θ_Coh]
S04: v_n ≈ 𝒱[η_tensor, τ_R; geom, mult]
S05: R_out/R_side ≈ 𝒢[η_tensor, τ_R; k_STG, k_TBN]
S06: R_AA(φ) ≈ 𝒴[η_tensor; path_length(φ), recon(zeta_topo)]

Mechanistic highlights (Pxx)

P01 · Path/Sea coupling: γ_Path×k_SC amplifies viscous channels under strong fields, producing tensor splitting η_∥/η_⊥>1.
P02 · STG/TBN: STG introduces parity-odd tensor responses; TBN sets noise floors for v_n and HBT.
P03 · Coherence window/Response limit: jointly bound attainable η/s and τ_R and their geometry/centrality scalings.
P04 · Topology/Recon: ζ_topo alters path lengths and coherent domains, modulating R_AA and HBT.

VI. Summary Assessment

Strengths

Unified tensor structure (S01–S06) concurrently captures the co-evolution of η/s, ζ/s, η_∥/η_⊥/η_×, τ_R, and v_n, R_out/R_side, R_AA, with parameters of clear physical meaning—actionable for geometry selection, B-proxy strategies, and systematics control.
Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors on γ_Path, k_SC, k_STG, k_TBN, θ_Coh, η_Damp, ξ_RL, ζ_topo and ψ_∥/ψ_⊥/ψ_×/β_TPR separate tensor components from background contributions.
Operational utility: via centrality/B-bucket design, event-plane decorrelation suppression, and dwell-time (t_hold) optimization, uncertainties compress and the v_n–HBT–spectra triad stabilizes.

Limitations

Strong non-equilibrium regime: rapid fluctuations and magnetized transport imply non-Markovian memory; fractional/delay terms are needed.
Final-state mixing: strong-field couplings to Coulomb tails and detector efficiencies require refined baseline deconvolution.

Falsification line & experimental suggestions

Falsification: if EFT parameters (see JSON) → 0 and the covariances among η/s(B), η_∥/η_⊥/η_×, and v_n, R_out/R_side, R_AA vanish while Israel–Stewart/aHydro/RTA/magnetoviscosity frameworks reach ΔAIC<2, Δχ²/dof<0.02, ΔRMSE≤1% across the domain, the mechanism is falsified.
Suggestions:
- 2-D phase maps: B_proxy × centrality and p_T × φ maps for η/s, η_∥/η_⊥, v_2, R_out/R_side.
- Tensor isolation: rotate event planes and use subevent methods to purify the η_× response.
- Systematics compression: unified efficiency/dead-zone calibration and T-scale cross-checks to reduce τ_R uncertainty.
- Topology probes: multiparticle correlations and path-length imaging to infer ζ_topo modulation on R_AA and HBT.
