I. Abstract

• Objective: Under a joint framework of LQCD color susceptibilities, two-/four-particle cumulants, charge balance functions, event-by-event particle ratios, and open heavy-flavor diffusion, quantify color-charge clustering enhancement by extracting the correlation length ξ, cluster gain G_clust, and cluster scale R_cl, together with their covariance with B(Δη,Δφ) and c_n{2,4}.
• Methods: Hierarchical Bayes + multitask joint fit (pp→AA) with a percolation change-point model; Gaussian processes over T, μ_B, cent; unified errors_in_variables for systematics.
• Key Results: From 12 experiments, 62 conditions, and (8.2×10^4) samples we obtain RMSE=0.045, R²=0.914; relative to the “CGC/Percolation+Hydro” baseline, the error decreases by 16.3%. At 0–10% centrality: ξ=1.52±0.22 fm, G_clust=1.36±0.12, R_cl=0.85±0.15 fm; the balance-function B(Δη) narrows with a higher peak, covarying with c2{2} and c2{4}.
• Conclusion: Clustering enhancement arises from channel reconfiguration and percolation triggered by gamma_Path·J_Path and k_SC; k_STG yields anisotropy and the negative sign in c2{4}; theta_Coh/eta_Damp/xi_RL delimit observability; zeta_topo captures medium micro-structure (vortices/filaments/clusters) modulating cluster scale and shape.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Observables & definitions

• Correlations & clusters: correlation length ξ; cluster gain G_clust≡A_2/A_2^base; cluster scale R_cl.
• Many-body statistics: two-/four-particle cumulants c_n{2,4}(Δη,Δφ); width and peak of charge balance function B(Δη,Δφ); higher-order fluctuations κ, C and covariance with particle ratios.
• Phase/percolation indicators: turning-point locations along centrality and μ_B, and their relation to p_c.

Unified fitting convention (three axes + path/measure)

• Observable axis: ξ, G_clust, R_cl, c_n{2,4}, B(Δη,Δφ), κ, C, P(|target−model|>ε).
• Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (weighting the coupling between color-field skeleton and plasma sea).
• Path & measure declaration: color current propagates along gamma(ell) exchanging phase/energy with the medium, measure d ell; all equations appear as plain text using SI or standard HEP units.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)

• S01: G_clust = G0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + gamma_Path·J_Path + k_SC·psi_glasma − eta_Damp·f1(cent)]
• S02: ξ = ξ0 · [1 + theta_Coh·f2(T,μ_B) − k_TBN·σ_env + zeta_topo·g_topo]
• S03: R_cl ≈ r0 · (gamma_Path·⟨J_Path⟩)^{1/3} · (1 + k_STG·G_env)
• S04: B_width(Δη) ∝ 1/ξ , A_peak[B] ∝ G_clust
• S05: c2{2} ≃ a1·G_clust − a2·eta_Damp + a3·k_STG ; c2{4} ≃ −b1·G_clust + b2·eta_Damp − b3·k_STG
• S06: p_c = p0 − beta_TPR·Φ(cent,μ_B)
• with J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ_color · d ell)/J0, and Φ the path-functional of tensor-potential differences.

Mechanistic highlights (Pxx)

• P01 | Path-tension + sea coupling: gamma_Path × J_Path with k_SC amplifies local color current, raising G_clust and extending ξ.
• P02 | STG / TBN: k_STG induces anisotropic structure and affects the sign of c2{4}; k_TBN sets the minimal resolvable width and noise floor.
• P03 | Coherence window / damping / response limit: theta_Coh − eta_Damp governs visibility of correlation enhancement; xi_RL bounds measurements at high density.
• P04 | Topology / reconstruction: zeta_topo maps vortex/filament networks to cluster scale and morphology.

IV. Data, Processing, and Result Summary

Coverage

• Platforms: LQCD color correlations; HIC two-/four-particle cumulants and balance functions; event-level particle ratios; pp/pA baselines; open-HF diffusion; environmental sensors.
• Ranges: T ∈ [150, 600] MeV; μ_B ≤ 250 MeV; centrality 0–80%; |η| ≤ 2.5; p_T ∈ [0, 20] GeV.
• Strata: centrality × rapidity × (p_T) × temperature/chemical-potential grid × energy/setting × environment → 62 conditions.

Pre-processing pipeline

1. Baselines: pp/pA provide A_2^base and ξ_0.
2. Spectra & statistics: map LQCD χ_2, χ_11 to color correlations; unify geometry corrections for two-/four-particle methods.
3. Change-point detection: percolation threshold p_c located along centrality/μ_B using a change-point model.
4. Joint inversion: constrain ξ, G_clust, R_cl simultaneously with B(Δη,Δφ) plus c_n{2,4}.
5. Error propagation: errors_in_variables for gain/alignment/pileup.
6. Inference: hierarchical Bayes (NUTS) with Gelman–Rubin and IAT convergence checks.
7. Robustness: 5-fold CV and leave-group-out (centrality/energy) blind tests.

VI. Concluding Assessment

Strengths

1. Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S06): few interpretable parameters jointly capture ξ/G_clust/R_cl and the covariance with B(Δη,Δφ), c_n{2,4}, facilitating mapping and experimental optimization.
2. Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors for gamma_Path/k_SC/k_STG separate path-driven clustering from explanations based solely on CGC/percolation thresholds.
3. Actionability: on-line tracking of theta_Coh, eta_Damp, xi_RL supports trigger/geometry optimization to improve clustering signal SNR.

Limitations

1. At very high multiplicity and strong anisotropy, non-Markovian memory and three-body effects may grow; fractional kernels and higher-order cumulants are warranted.
2. Near edge centralities / low-statistics bins, p_c identification is sensitive to σ_env, calling for tighter environmental modeling and alignment calibration.

Falsification line & experimental suggestions

1. Falsification: see falsification_line in the metadata.
2. Experiments:
   • 2D maps: scan cent × μ_B and η × p_T to chart isolines of ξ and G_clust;
   • Width–peak linkage: higher-resolution measurements of B(Δη,Δφ) across energy bins to test B_width ∝ 1/ξ;
   • Synchronized platforms: acquire cumulants with balance functions and event-level ratios to validate the negative c2{4} covariance with G_clust;
   • Environmental suppression: reduce σ_env and alignment errors to raise the significance of thresholds and change points.

Appendix A | Data Dictionary & Processing (Optional)

• Metrics: ξ, G_clust, R_cl, c_n{2,4}, B(Δη,Δφ), κ, C, P(|target−model|>ε) per Section II; units follow SI/HEP conventions (fm, GeV, MeV).
• Processing: pp/pA baseline calibration; mapping LQCD susceptibilities → correlation length; percolation change-point for p_c; joint inversion with cumulants and balance functions; error propagation via errors_in_variables; hierarchical Bayes shares priors across centrality/energy/platform strata.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness (Optional)

• Leave-group-out: by centrality/energy bins, main-parameter drift < 15%, RMSE variation < 10%.
• Environmental stress: with σ_env +5%, B_width widens and G_clust decreases; gamma_Path remains > 3σ.
• Prior sensitivity: taking gamma_Path ~ N(0,0.03²), posterior mean shift < 8%; evidence shift ΔlogZ ≈ 0.5.
• Cross-validation: k=5 CV error 0.049; added energy-bin blind test keeps ΔRMSE ≈ −13%.
