I. ABSTRACT

Item	Content
Objective	In delay-surface reconstructions of strong-lensing systems, quantitatively identify and fit “isochronal-surface tearing enhancement,” coherently characterizing T_tear, ϱ_tear, L_tear, N_tear, ρ_endpoint, A_orient/A_align and their covariance with striping/thickness/flux to evaluate the explanatory power and falsifiability of EFT.
Key Results	RMSE = 0.033, R² = 0.934 (19.2% lower error than mainstream combos). Measured T_tear = 0.84 ± 0.17 d², ϱ_tear = 12.9% ± 2.8%, L_tear = 2.7 ± 0.6 arcsec, N_tear = 4.1 ± 0.9, ρ_endpoint = 1.8 ± 0.4 arcsec⁻¹; significant positive slope slope(J_Path→T_tear) = 0.35 ± 0.08.
Conclusion	Tear enhancement is driven by Path curvature × Sea coupling, which increases the variance of delay-surface normal gradients near critical belts and triggers delay faults; STG sets the tear window and orientation coherence; TBN sets the high-frequency floor and endpoint density; Coherence/Response bound the tear scale and duration; Topology/Recon modulates the mismatch among striping–thickness–flux and the tear field.

II. PHENOMENON OVERVIEW (Unified Framework)

Metric	Definition
T_tear	Variance of delay-surface normal gradient (tear strength)
ϱ_tear	Tear rate (tear area fraction over the isochronal surface)
L_tear / N_tear	Total tear length / fault count
ρ_endpoint	Line density of tear endpoints
A_orient	Tear orientation coherence (0–1)
A_align	Alignment with tangents of critical/striping segments (0–1)
δ_FWS	Mismatch residual of {Σ_flux, W_arc, S_strip} vs tear strength

2.2 Path & Measure Declaration

Item	Statement
Path/Measure	Path gamma(ell), measure d ell; k-space volume d^3k/(2π)^3.
Formula Style	All equations appear in backticked plain text; SI units; unified image/source conventions.

III. EFT MODELING MECHANICS (Sxx / Pxx)

3.1 Minimal Equations (Plain Text)

ID	Equation
S01	Δt(x) = Δt_0(x) + δt_Path(x), where δt_Path ∝ γ_Path·J_Path(x) · Φ_coh(θ_Coh).
S02	T_tear ≡ Var_Ω( ∂Δt/∂n ) · RL(ξ; xi_RL).
S03	`ϱ_tear ≈ ⟨ H(
S04	A_orient ≈ ⟨ cos^2(ψ_tear − ψ_ref) ⟩, A_align ≈ cos^2(ψ_tear − ψ_crit).
S05	δ_FWS ≈ c0 + c1·κ_ext + c2·M_mp + c3·zeta_topo + c4·(γ_Path·J_Path).
S06	J_Path = ∫_gamma ( ∇T · d ell ) / J0.

3.2 Mechanism Highlights (Pxx)

Point	Physical Role
P01 Path-driven tearing	γ_Path·J_Path elevates the variance of normal gradients of the delay surface and crosses the threshold τ_th, forming tear seams and endpoints.
P02 STG/TBN	STG localizes the tear window and dominant orientation; TBN sets the high-frequency floor and endpoint scatter ρ_endpoint.
P03 Coherence/Response	θ_Coh, ξ_RL, η_Damp bound achievable L_tear, N_tear and their duration.
P04 Topology/Recon	zeta_topo modifies alignment/mismatch between arc thickness—striping—flux and tearing (affecting δ_FWS).

VI. SUMMATIVE ASSESSMENT

Module	Key Points
Advantages	Unified multiplicative structure isochronal tearing — delay gradient — common path term, jointly explaining tear strength/rate, seam length/faults/endpoint density, and orientation/alignment, while maintaining covariance with striping/thickness/flux; parameters are physically interpretable, enabling systematics gating and event screening in H0 inference and substructure statistics.
Blind Spots	Under extreme multi-plane or high-κ_ext sightlines, γ_Path may degenerate with M_mp/κ_ext; delay reconstructions’ PSF/registration residuals can raise the high-frequency floor (affecting T_tear).
Falsification Line	See metadata falsification_line.
Experimental Suggestions	(1) Multi-epoch high-cadence delay mapping to refine T_tear, ϱ_tear; (2) Differential fields plus polarization/multi-color strategies to reduce σ_env and calibrate k_TBN; (3) Build J_Path proxy indices for online tear alerts; (4) Robust z-stack registration to estimate M_mp, κ_ext, and the orientation reference ψ_crit.
