Chapter 7 Energy Exchange & Power Partition (EDX)
I. Abstract & Scope
This chapter provides the minimal closure for oriented-energy and power accounting (EDX). With the orientation energy density W_orient(Q_ij, ∇Q_ij, …) as the state variable, we establish the control-volume energy balance, the partition of coupling power terms, and an identifiable split of transport/dissipation terms. We also specify procedures to estimate power terms and to use dominance masks (in energy/frequency) for partitioned accounting. Symbols are in English notation with backticks; SI units apply. No ToA terms appear here.

III. Normative Anchors (added in this chapter, S80-/M80-)
- S80-7 (Control-Volume Energy Balance):
d/dt ∫_V W_orient dV = P_in − P_diss − P_trans,
where P_in is external/boundary input power (including coupling work), P_diss ≥ 0 is dissipation, and P_trans = ∮_{∂V} Φ_E · n_hat dA is outward energy flux. Density form:
∂_t W_orient + ∇·Φ_E = 𝒫_in − 𝒫_diss. - S80-8 (Coupling-Power Partition & Consistency):
𝒫_in = 𝒫_cpl + 𝒫_mech + 𝒫_src,
with 𝒫_cpl = − ∂W_cpl/∂t (see Chapter 6), 𝒫_mech = T_fil_ij D_{ij} (D_{ij}=(∂_i u_j+∂_j u_i)/2), and 𝒫_src external sources. All must be consistent with S80-3/4 and S80-5/6. - M80-19 (Power-Term Estimation Flow): estimate {𝒫_in, 𝒫_cpl, 𝒫_mech, 𝒫_diss, Φ_E} from metrology outputs and coupling kernels, then perform closure audit.
- M80-20 (Energy/Frequency-Band Partition): use Chapter 6 dominance masks to accumulate 𝒫_in and W_orient by bands and form a segmented ledger.
- M80-21 (Consistency & Evidence Checks): verify closure of S80-7/8 and apply positive/negative criteria over experimental/simulation windows.
IV. Body Structure
I. Background & Problem Statement
- The energetics of oriented systems depend on order-tensor evolution and oriented tension, as well as coupling channels and transport mechanisms. A conservation law consistent with Chapters 4–6 is required to place W_orient, T_fil_ij, coupling power, and flux in a single ledger.
- Objective: provide measurable, allocable, and testable power expressions and workflows that support parameter identification, model comparison, and engineering prediction.
II. Key Equations & Derivations (S-series)
- S80-7 (Volume/Density forms):
- Volume: d/dt ∫_V W_orient dV = ∫_V 𝒫_in dV − ∫_V 𝒫_diss dV − ∮_{∂V} Φ_E · n_hat dA.
- Density: ∂_t W_orient + ∇·Φ_E = 𝒫_in − 𝒫_diss. A minimal closure for the flux is Φ_E = − K_E ∇W_orient + Φ_cpl with K_E ≥ 0 and a coupling-induced term Φ_cpl.
- S80-8 (Power-term partition):
- Mechanical work: 𝒫_mech = T_fil_ij D_{ij}, consistent with T_fil_ij from Chapter 4.
- Coupling work: 𝒫_cpl = − ∂W_cpl/∂t = − ( ∂W_cpl/∂Q_ij ) ∂_t Q_ij − ( ∂W_cpl/∂field ) · ∂_t field.
- Dissipation & positivity (quadratic approximation): with W_orient ≈ (1/2) A Q_ij Q_ij + (1/2) K ∂_k Q_ij ∂_k Q_ij (A≥0, K≥0),
𝒫_diss = (1/τ_relax) A Q_ij Q_ij + D_Q K (∂_k Q_ij)(∂_k Q_ij) ≥ 0.
III. Methods & Flows (M-series)
- M80-19 Power-Term Estimation
- Inputs: {Q_ij(t,r), T_fil_ij(t,r), u_vec, fields} with metrology covariances.
- Estimation: compute 𝒫_mech, 𝒫_cpl via S80-8; fit parameters for 𝒫_diss and Φ_E (e.g., K_E) in spectral/time domains.
- Closure audit: test ∂_t W_orient + ∇·Φ_E − (𝒫_in − 𝒫_diss) ≈ 0 residuals and CIs.
- M80-20 Band Allocation
- Masks: apply η_dom(ê,ω [or E]) from Chapter 6 to obtain m(ê,ω).
- Allocation: masked integration/windowing of 𝒫_in and W_orient to yield a {Band_k} ledger.
- Consistency: band sums must agree with the global totals within uncertainty.
- M80-21 Consistency & Evidence
- Model sets: {with-coupling, decoupled, no-diffusion}; compare evidence and closure residuals.
- Robustness: perturb volume/time/frequency windows and verify ledger stability and fidelity.

V. Validation, Criteria & Counterexamples
- Positive criteria:
- Disabling couplings/diffusion (e.g., χ_*→0, D_Q→0) worsens evidence and closure residuals.
- 𝒫_mech aligns with loading history; 𝒫_cpl sign/magnitude varies consistently with Q_ij and external fields.
- 𝒫_diss ≥ 0 and increases with τ_relax^{-1} and D_Q; Φ_E direction aligns with −∇W_orient (modulo Φ_cpl).
- Negative criteria:
- Removing key terms maintains or improves evidence, or closure residuals unchanged (mechanism falsified/nonessential).
- Band-sum vs global totals disagree beyond CIs.
- 𝒫_cpl inconsistent with calibrated data in units/dimensions or sign.
- Contrasts:
- Evidence & closure residuals among {full, decoupled, no-diffusion}.
- Power shares for {mechanical-only, EM-only, mechanical+EM}.
- {isotropic flux, anisotropic flux} impacts on Φ_E.
