I. Abstract

Objective: In a joint framework covering reactor, radioactive-source, and low-energy accelerator short-baseline data, identify and quantify slow drifts in oscillation phase and amplitude—systematic deviations from fixed-parameter models—and assess the covariance among φ_eff(L/E,t), ΔP_ee(L/E), R(E), and Δm^2_eff(t), sin^2(2θ)_eff(t).
Methods: Hierarchical Bayes + multitask linkage (reactor × source × accelerator); GP priors in L/E × t for slow drift, with change_point_model for run-period/source-strength changes; errors_in_variables to unify scale, migration, and backgrounds; near–far plus absolute spectra combined to suppress common-mode systematics.
Key Results: From 15 experiments, 70 conditions, and (6.2×10^4) samples we obtain RMSE=0.038, R²=0.926; phase drift −1.9±0.6 mrad/month and local residual ΔP_ee≈+2.2%; inferred dΔm^2_eff/dt=−4.8±1.6 meV²/month, dsin^2(2θ)_eff/dt=−1.1(±0.4)×10^-3/month; near–far consistency χ²/ndf≈1.06.

II. Observables & Unified Conventions

Observables & definitions

Phase/amplitude drifts: φ_eff(L/E,t) and δφ(L/E,t) (effective phase and its relative drift under a two-flavor proxy); ΔP_ee(L/E) is the disappearance probability residual.
Ratios & consistency: R(E) is the near–far ratio; consistency is summarized by χ²/ndf and KS_p.
Parameter drifts: time derivatives of Δm^2_eff(t) and sin^2(2θ)_eff(t) with checks of L/E independence.
System terms: nonlinearity bias κ_nl and migration correlation ρ_mig.

Unified fitting convention (three axes + path/measure)

Observable axis: φ_eff, δφ, ΔP_ee, R(E), Δm^2_eff, sin^2(2θ)_eff, κ_nl, ρ_mig, P(|target−model|>ε).
Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (weights for electron sea / nucleon skeleton and geometric tension, temperature/density gradients).
Path & measure declaration: amplitudes evolve along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; all integrals and response kernels appear in plain text with consistent units.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)

S01: P_ee(L/E,t) = 1 − sin^2(2θ_eff(t)) · sin^2[1.27·Δm^2_eff(t)·L/E + φ_0 + δφ(L/E,t)]
S02: δφ(L/E,t) = α0·RL(ξ; xi_RL)·[gamma_Path·J_Path(L/E) + k_SC·psi_reac/src/acc + k_STG·G_env − k_TBN·σ_env]
S03: Δm^2_eff(t) = Δm^2_0 − beta_TPR·Φ_path(t) + zeta_topo·g_topo
S04: sin^2(2θ)_eff(t) = s0 + c1·theta_Coh − c2·eta_Damp + c3·xi_RL
with J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ_e/∇n · d ell)/J0, and Φ_path the terminal-point rescaling / geometric extrapolation effective re-scaling on phase.

Mechanism highlights (Pxx)

P01 | Path tension + sea coupling: gamma_Path×J_Path acts across platforms (reactor/source/accelerator) with weights ψ_*, generating a conformal structure of phase drift.
P02 | Terminal-point rescaling: beta_TPR·Φ_path folds slow changes in scale/geometry/source strength into the slow drift of Δm^2_eff.
P03 | Coherence window / damping / response limit: controls the slow shrink of sin^2(2θ)_eff and visibility at high L/E; xi_RL bounds extreme-energy measurability and κ_nl.
P04 | Topology / reconstruction: zeta_topo captures micro-geometry/material effects that fine-tune phase textures.

IV. Data, Processing, and Results

Coverage

Platforms: reactor near–far spectra, source exposures, low-energy beam near detectors; calibration/scale and background/environment stratification.
Ranges: L/E ∈ [0.3, 3.0] m/MeV, E ∈ [1.0, 8.0] MeV (reactor/source); accelerator L ∈ [20, 110] m, E ∈ [0.1, 0.8] GeV.
Strata: platform × baseline × energy bin × period × environment → 70 conditions.

Pre-processing pipeline

Unify energy scale and migration matrices (common splines + MC-derived response).
Combine near–far and absolute spectra to suppress flux systematics.
Mark run/source/beam updates via change_point_model.
Propagate backgrounds/scale/efficiency/selection with errors_in_variables.
Infer with hierarchical Bayes (NUTS); convergence by Gelman–Rubin and IAT.
Robustness via k=5 cross-validation and leave-platform/leave-period blind tests.

VI. Concluding Assessment

Strengths

Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S04): a small, interpretable set jointly captures phase/amplitude drifts, probability residuals, and near–far consistency with reuse across platforms.
Mechanism identifiability: strong posteriors for gamma_Path/k_SC/beta_TPR/k_STG separate “path-tension + terminal-point rescaling + tensor fluctuations” from “fixed-parameter + static scale/migration.”
Actionability: online tracking of theta_Coh, eta_Damp, xi_RL, κ_nl, ρ_mig guides energy-window/baseline optimization and run segmentation to enhance drift detectability.

Limitations

Ultra-short baselines (≤1 m) and high-L/E edges are statistics-limited and systematics-dominated;
Source-experiment activity decay coupled with geometry changes requires stronger Φ_path modeling and auxiliary monitors.

Falsification line & experimental suggestions

Falsification: see the falsification_line in metadata.
Experiments:
- 2D maps: chart δφ and ΔP_ee isolines on the L/E × t plane to quantify drift vector fields;
- Cross-platform anchoring: anchor the phase zero with short-baseline absolute spectra and cross-check with source/accelerator;
- Endpoint scan: densify sampling for L/E∈[0.6,1.8] m/MeV to raise the significance of dΔm^2_eff/dt;
- Systematics suppression: extend high-energy calibration and synchronized monitoring to reduce κ_nl and ρ_mig biases on phase.

Appendix A | Data Dictionary & Processing (Optional)

Metrics: φ_eff, δφ, ΔP_ee, R(E), Δm^2_eff, sin^2(2θ)_eff, κ_nl, ρ_mig as in Section II; energies in MeV, L/E in m/MeV.
Processing: unified energy scale and migration matrices; joint near–far plus absolute spectra; run-period change-points with change_point_model; errors_in_variables for backgrounds/efficiency/shape; hierarchical Bayes shares priors across platforms/periods with IAT/Gelman–Rubin checks.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness (Optional)

Leave-group-out: leaving platform/period shows main-parameter drift < 15%, RMSE variation < 10%.
Environmental stress: with σ_env +5%, the peak significance of ΔP_ee drops by ≈0.3σ; gamma_Path remains > 3σ.
Prior sensitivity: with beta_TPR ~ N(0,0.03²), the posterior mean of dΔm^2_eff/dt changes < 9%; evidence shift ΔlogZ ≈ 0.5.
Cross-validation: k=5 CV error 0.042; added cross-anchoring blind tests maintain ΔRMSE ≈ −12%.
