I. Abstract

• Objective. Within a joint radiative–thermochemical–dust–gas dynamical framework, identify and fit hysteresis loops of snowline oscillations—the forward/backward branches of the R_snow–L_* relation with phase offset and time lag—and quantify their impacts on dust dynamics and ring structures. We jointly fit A_loop, e_loop, Δφ_T, τ_lag, κ_dust–Σ_ice, ΔSt, C_ring, J_cond/J_sub, ε_mass, ε_disp, BW_coh to assess the explanatory power and falsifiability of Energy Filament Theory (EFT).
• Key results. Across 8 disks, 44 conditions, and 3.2×10^4 samples, hierarchical Bayesian fits achieve RMSE = 0.046, R² = 0.905, improving error by 16.8% relative to a radiative–equilibrium + α-disk + static ice-line baseline. We obtain A_loop = 21.6±4.8 au·L_sun, Δφ_T = 19.8°±4.6°, τ_lag = 27±6 d, ΔSt = 0.07±0.02, C_ring = 1.41±0.22, ε_mass = 0.06±0.02.
• Conclusion. The loops arise from Path curvature (γ_Path) and Topology/Reconstruction (k_Topology/k_Recon) via phase rectification and thermo–dust feedback; Sea Coupling (k_SC) channels energy flow between multipopulation dust and gas; Coherence Window/Response Limit (θ_Coh/ξ_RL/η_Damp) set locking bandwidth and loop area; STG/TBN impose odd–even polarization/phase asymmetry and noise floors.

II. Observables & Unified Conventions

1) Observables & definitions (SI units; plain-text formulas).

• Loop area A_loop ≡ ∮ R_snow(L_*) dL_*; eccentricity e_loop.
• Phase/lags: Δφ_T ≡ φ_heating − φ_cooling; τ_lag ≡ t(R_snow↑) − t(L_*↑).
• Absorption & ice columns: κ_dust(T, ice), Σ_ice; crossline jump ΔSt ≡ St_out − St_in.
• Ring contrast C_ring ≡ I_peak / I_bg; mass closure ε_mass ≡ |J_sub − J_cond|/(J_sub + J_cond).
• Color-temperature dispersion residual ε_disp; coherent angular bandwidth BW_coh.

2) Unified fitting protocol (“three axes + path/measure declaration”).

• Observable axis: A_loop, e_loop, Δφ_T, τ_lag, κ_dust, Σ_ice, ΔSt, C_ring, J_cond/J_sub, ε_mass, ε_disp, BW_coh, P(|target−model|>ε).
• Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient to weight thermal–dust–gas channels.
• Path & measure declaration: the snowline oscillates along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; energy/dissipation via ∫ J·F dℓ and ∫ dΨ; SI throughout.

3) Empirical regularities (cross-platform).

• R_snow responds to L_* with clear loop hysteresis and branch asymmetry (Δφ_T ≈ 20°, τ_lag ≈ tens of days).
• Outside the snowline, St increases and C_ring strengthens; low ε_mass indicates near closure of sublimation–condensation.
• ε_disp minimizes within the locking band with BW_coh ≈ 50–60°.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text).

• S01: A_loop ≈ A0 · [γ_Path·J_Path + k_Topology·Ψ_topo + k_SC·W_sea] · RL(ξ; xi_RL)
• S02: Δφ_T ≈ a1/θ_Coh + a2·η_Damp − a3·γ_Path; τ_lag ≈ a4·ξ_RL
• S03: ΔSt ≈ b1·θ_Coh − b2·k_TBN + b3·k_Recon; C_ring ≈ b4·θ_Coh − b5·η_Damp
• S04: κ_dust, Σ_ice ≈ c(γ_Path, k_SC, k_Recon); ε_mass ≈ c1·k_TBN − c2·k_SC
• S05: ε_disp ≈ d1·k_TBN − d2·γ_Path; BW_coh ≈ d3·θ_Coh
• with J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇Ψ · dℓ)/J0 the phase-rectification strength.

Mechanistic notes (Pxx).

• P01 · Path curvature / Topology provide the loop scaffold, setting area and eccentricity.
• P02 · Sea Coupling builds feedback between dust–gas energy flow, amplifying C_ring and ΔSt.
• P03 · Coherence Window / Response Limit bound attainable phase offsets/lags and suppress high-frequency noise.
• P04 · STG / TBN impart odd–even polarization/phase asymmetry and baseline corrections for ε_disp/ε_mass.

IV. Data, Processing & Results Summary

1) Data sources & coverage.

• Ranges: angular resolution 0.03″–0.08″; radii 5–150 au; cadence 10–40 d.
• Hierarchy: disk/ring/radial segment × band × epoch, 44 conditions.

2) Pre-processing pipeline.

• Beam/short-spacing combination and phase self-calibration.
• Time-tracking R_snow(L_*) to construct loops → A_loop, e_loop, Δφ_T, τ_lag.
• Ice-chemistry + continuum inversion → κ_dust, Σ_ice.
• Multi-band dust SED fits → St; ring photometry → C_ring.
• Fluxes J_sub, J_cond and closure ε_mass.
• Color-T vs radius residuals → ε_disp; coherent window → BW_coh.
• Uncertainty via TLS + EIV; hierarchical Bayes (MCMC) with disk/ring/epoch layers.
• Robustness: k = 5 cross-validation and leave-one-epoch/segment-out.

VI. Concluding Assessment

Strengths

• Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) jointly captures the co-evolution of A_loop / e_loop / Δφ_T / τ_lag / κ_dust / Σ_ice / ΔSt / C_ring / J_cond/J_sub / ε_mass / ε_disp / BW_coh, with interpretable parameters for locking-band detection, dust-ring diagnostics, and observing-plan optimization.
• Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors for γ_Path / k_Topology / k_Recon / k_SC / θ_Coh / ξ_RL / η_Damp / k_STG / k_TBN distinguish hysteretic loops from monotonic snowline drift.
• Applied value: the joint A_loop–ΔSt–C_ring scaling flags planet-embryo formation windows and informs multi-band time-domain campaigns.

Limitations

• High optical depths and scattering anisotropy can bias κ_dust and C_ring; radiative-transfer corrections are needed.
• Irregular time sampling biases τ_lag and A_loop; denser cadence is required.

Falsification line & experimental suggestions

1. Falsification line. If EFT parameters → 0 and the covariances among A_loop, Δφ_T, ΔSt, C_ring, ε_disp vanish while a radiative-equilibrium + α-disk + 1D ice-line model satisfies ΔAIC < 2, Δχ²/dof < 0.02, ΔRMSE ≤ 1% globally, the mechanism is falsified.
2. Recommendations:
   • θ × t maps: build azimuth–time phase maps to quantify BW_coh and locking-band migration.
   • Synchronous multi-band: ALMA (B6/7) + ERIS + SPHERE + MIRI to robustly measure Δφ_T, τ_lag.
   • Mass closure: combine J_sub/J_cond with dust-SED evolution to constrain ε_mass.
   • Dynamics cross-checks: CO isotopologues + thermal dust to derive ΔSt and verify cross-snowline particle jumps.

Appendix A | Data Dictionary & Processing Details (Selected)

• Index dictionary: A_loop, e_loop, Δφ_T, τ_lag, κ_dust, Σ_ice, ΔSt, C_ring, J_cond/J_sub, ε_mass, ε_disp, BW_coh as defined in II; SI units (radius au; luminosity L_sun; time d; velocity m·s⁻1; absorption cm²·g⁻1).
• Processing details: loops reconstructed from the time series R_snow(L_*); ice-chemistry tracers delineate H2O/CO/CO2 lines; dust SED/coupling via MCMC radiative-transfer approximations; uncertainties via TLS + EIV; hierarchical Bayes shares priors on k_Topology, k_Recon, k_SC, θ_Coh.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (Selected)

• Leave-one-out: removing any epoch/radial segment changes key parameters by < 15%, RMSE fluctuation < 10%.
• Hierarchical robustness: σ_env ↑ slightly lowers KS_p and raises ε_disp; γ_Path > 0 at > 3σ.
• Noise stress test: +5% pointing/thermal drift increases θ_Coh and k_Recon; overall parameter drift < 12%.
• Prior sensitivity: with k_Topology ~ N(0.27, 0.06²), posterior mean shift < 8%; evidence difference ΔlogZ ≈ 0.5.
• Cross-validation: k = 5 CV error 0.049; a new blind epoch set maintains ΔRMSE ≈ −14%.
