Weyl张量的电部分和磁部分提供了一种几何诊断方法，用于描述非均匀宇宙的局域引力结构，可区分潮汐、引力磁、辐射和静默 regime（ regime 译为“区域”）。然而，当从数值相对论数据计算这些诊断量时，其解释取决于数据满足爱因斯坦约束方程的程度。微小的约束误差会产生虚假的磁信号，尤其在静默区域附近，可能被误认为是真实的辐射结构。本研究将哈密顿约束残差和动量约束残差作为Weyl诊断的可靠性门限，不采用固定容差，而是测量约束误差对对应Weyl分类的影响，进而校准达到选定精度所需的容差。我们的噪声诱导合成测试表明，哈密顿残差决定电Weyl诊断的可靠性，动量残差决定磁Weyl诊断的可靠性；此外，一个真实的数值相对论初始数据切片证实，不存在通用容差是足够的。因此，该校准测量的是诊断量的切片级灵敏度，而非演化的截断误差。
英文摘要
The electric and magnetic parts of the Weyl tensor provide a geometric diagnostic for describing the local gravitational structure of an inhomogeneous universe, and they allow us to distinguish tidal, gravitomagnetic, radiative, and silent regimes. However, when these diagnostics are computed from numerical relativity data, their interpretation depends on how well the data satisfy the Einstein constraint equations. A small constraint error can create a spurious magnetic signal, especially near a silent regime, and it may therefore be mistaken for genuine radiative structure. In this work, we treat the Hamiltonian and momentum constraint residuals as reliability gates for the Weyl diagnostics. Rather than imposing a fixed tolerance, we measure how a constraint error affects the corresponding Weyl classification, and we then calibrate the tolerance required to achieve a chosen accuracy. Our noise-induced synthetic tests show that the Hamiltonian residual determines the reliability of the electric Weyl diagnostic, whereas the momentum residual determines the reliability of the magnetic Weyl diagnostic. Furthermore, a real numerical relativity initial-data slice confirms that no universal tolerance is adequate. Thus, the calibration measures the slice-level sensitivity of the diagnostics rather than the truncation error of an evolution.
