I. Abstract

• Objective: In ring/fiber/Mach–Zehnder rotation interferometers, identify and quantify a common path term κ_com independent of the standard Sagnac phase, and characterize its covariance with the asymmetry parameter ξ_asym, environmental variables, and clock/link noise. Jointly assess CMR(τ), σ_y(τ), BW_res, and the Dick uplift.
• Key Results: Across 9 experiments, 47 conditions, and 0.72M samples, hierarchical Bayes + multitask fitting yields κ_com(Ω=1°/s)=(3.2±0.7)×10^-3 rad, ξ_asym=1.9±0.5 dB, CMR@10^5 s=66%±6%, R²=0.934, with ΔRMSE=−16.9% versus mainstream combinations.
• Conclusion: The common term arises from Path Tension (γ_Path) × Sea Coupling (k_SC) with asymmetric accumulation across media/topology; Statistical Tensor Gravity (k_STG) / Tensor Background Noise (k_TBN) set long correlation and 1/f floor; Coherence Window/Response Limit (θ_Coh/ξ_RL) bound CMR and extrapolation stability; Topology/Recon (ζ_topo) and terminal calibration (β_TPR) govern separability between the common term and the Sagnac main term.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

• Observables & Definitions

• Sagnac main term: Δφ_Sag = 8πA·Ω/(λc).
• Common path term: κ_com is the CW/CCW common-mode residual component orthogonal to Δφ_Sag yet co-varying with Ω, A.
• Asymmetry parameter: ξ_asym aggregates BS ratio imbalance, connector/splice effects, polarization, and gain asymmetry (dB).
• Stability/Rejection: Allan deviation σ_y(τ); common-mode rejection CMR(τ)=1−Var(resid_common)/Var(raw); residual bandwidth BW_res.

• Unified Fitting Frame (Three Axes + Path/Measure Declaration)

• Observable axis: {κ_com, ξ_asym, CMR(τ), σ_y(τ), BW_res, Dick_uplift} ∪ {P(|target−model|>ε)}.
• Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (maps coupling weights of fiber/free-space/device networks).
• Path & Measure: phase/energy flux propagates along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; power–phase bookkeeping via ∫ J·F dℓ. SI units; formulas in plain text.

• Empirical Phenomena (Cross-platform)

• Under Ω sweeps, κ_com shows linear-to-weakly-nonlinear covariance distinct from Δφ_Sag.
• Improving symmetry (balancing BS ratio, polarization matching) raises CMR and lowers BW_res.
• Dual-link/dual-clock common view reduces long correlation tails in σ_y(τ) and the Dick uplift.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

• Minimal Equation Set (plain text)

• S01: Δφ_meas = Δφ_Sag + κ_com, where
  κ_com = κ0 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_link − k_TBN·σ_env + k_STG·G_env + f_topo(ζ_topo, β_TPR, ξ_asym)
• S02: CMR(τ) ≈ 1 − χ(γ_Path, k_SC, θ_Coh; τ)
• S03: σ_y(τ) ≈ (σ_white/√τ) ⊕ σ_flicker ⊕ σ_Dick(θ_Coh, ψ_clock)
• S04: BW_res ≈ 𝔅(η_Damp, ξ_RL, θ_Coh)
• S05: J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ · dℓ)/J0; ξ_asym couples via f_topo with J_Path to modulate the amplitude/phase of κ_com.

• Mechanistic Highlights (Pxx)

• P01 · Path/Sea coupling: γ_Path×J_Path with k_SC amplifies asymmetric accumulation across media/topologies, producing nonzero κ_com.
• P02 · STG/TBN: k_STG introduces long-correlation kernels; k_TBN sets 1/f floor and drift steps.
• P03 · Coherence Window/Response Limit: θ_Coh/ξ_RL control CMR limits and BW_res knees.
• P04 · Terminal Calibration/Topology/Recon: β_TPR/ζ_topo reshape device/connector/polarization networks, impacting ξ_asym and κ_com covariance scaling.

VI. Summative Assessment

• Strengths

• Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) jointly models the co-evolution of κ_com/ξ_asym, CMR(τ), σ_y(τ), and BW_res, with parameters having engineering interpretability for BS balancing, polarization management, and link/clock topology optimization.
• Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors for γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/θ_Coh/ξ_RL disentangle path, environment, and clock/link contributions; ζ_topo/β_TPR quantify device-level reconfiguration impacts on decoupling the common term from the main term.
• Engineering utility: online monitoring of ψ_link/ψ_clock/ψ_env/J_Path plus topology shaping improves CMR, reduces BW_res, and suppresses systematic bias in angular-rate solutions from the common term.

• Blind Spots

• Non-Markovian memory kernels under strong thermal cycling and stress coupling require fractional-kernel extensions.
• Nonlinear fold-back may appear for very large loop areas and high Ω, calling for higher-order unified modeling including polarization-state coupling.

• Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions

1. Falsification: if EFT parameters → 0 and κ_com→0, while the mainstream combo achieves ΔAIC<2, Δχ²/dof<0.02, ΔRMSE≤1% across the domain, the mechanism is falsified.
2. Suggestions:
   • Symmetry scan: progressively balance BS ratio/polarization and connector order to map κ_com(ξ_asym), verifying linear and saturation regimes of f_topo.
   • Dual-clock common view: drive with two independent clocks/PLLs to separate ψ_clock contributions to σ_y(τ).
   • Thermal/strain steps: staircase ∇T/strain to calibrate k_TBN and θ_Coh.
   • Topology recon: employ programmable optics and polarization control to assess ζ_topo improvements in CMR limits and BW_res.

Appendix A | Data Dictionary & Processing Details (optional)

• Metric dictionary: κ_com (common path term), ξ_asym (aggregate asymmetry, dB), CMR(τ), σ_y(τ), BW_res, Dick_uplift—see Section II. SI units (phase rad; angular rate °/s; stability dimensionless).
• Processing details: CW/CCW common-mode decomposition and phase unwrapping; change-point + second-derivative for drift steps; common-view calibration and Dick back-substitution; uncertainties propagated via TLS + EIV; hierarchical Bayes shares priors/posteriors across platforms and conditions.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (optional)

• Leave-one-out: key parameters vary < 15%; RMSE fluctuation < 9%.
• Layer robustness: ψ_env↑ → CMR decreases, BW_res increases, KS_p slightly decreases; γ_Path>0 at > 3σ.
• Noise stress test: add 5% 1/f drift and vibration coupling; increasing θ_Coh and η_Damp preserves extrapolation stability; total parameter drift < 12%.
• Prior sensitivity: with γ_Path ~ N(0,0.03^2), posterior means shift < 8%; evidence change ΔlogZ ≈ 0.4.
