AI 中文摘要
我们利用SPARC数据库的一个标准子集(N = 126),对径向加速度关系(Radial Acceleration Relation, RAR)的结构修正的可识别性极限进行了计算核查。我们并未提出新的动力学定律,而是确定了这类定律在数学上可恢复的观测条件。我们明确了三种对RAR解释有重大影响的方法学控制因素:其一,我们分离出观测质量最低的层级(Q = 3,平均值为-0.433 dex)的8个星系与其余118个星系(平均值为-0.040 dex)之间存在-0.39 dex的残差偏移。在束展宽(beam smearing)必须满足的5项预测中,有4项不成立:径向轮廓平台为-0.331 ± 0.028 dex,而非衰减至零,且该偏移并未随曲线的分辨率单元数量成比例变化。束展宽作为主要驱动因素的可能性较低,不过该偏移仍是一种数据质量特征,而非物理特征——SPARC中的Q = 3标志着存在严重的不对称性和强烈的非圆周运动,在此条件下,旋转曲线无法追踪平衡势。其二,我们将数据集的结构极限解耦为三个独立测量的量:无模型点散射(sigma_M0 = 0.1860 dex)、每个星系自由截距后的残差基底(sigma_M3 = 0.1058 dex),以及由前两者推导得出的可吸收预算sqrt(sigma_M0^2 - sigma_M3^2) = 0.1530 dex。最后,我们提供了一个8单元协议网格,用于协调留一法(Leave-One-Out, LOO)均方预测误差(Mean Squared Prediction Error, MSPE)比率。我们证明,必须严格遵循残差定义(中位数与均值、带符号与绝对值)和基线分母来评估已报道的结构-动力学耦合关系,避免将标记伪影误当作新的物理现象。
英文摘要
We present a computational audit of the identifiability limits for structural corrections to the Radial Acceleration Relation (RAR) using a canonical subset of the SPARC database (N = 126). Rather than proposing a new dynamical law, we establish the observational conditions under which such a law would be mathematically recoverable. We resolve three methodological controls that heavily influence RAR interpretations. First, we isolate a -0.39 dex residual offset between the eight galaxies in the lowest-quality observational tier (Q = 3, mean -0.433 dex) and the remaining 118 (mean -0.040 dex). Of five predictions that beam smearing must satisfy, four fail: the radial profile plateaus at -0.331 +/- 0.028 dex rather than decaying to zero, and the offset does not scale with the number of resolution elements across a curve. Beam smearing is disfavoured as the primary driver, though the offset remains a data-quality signature rather than a physical one -- Q = 3 in SPARC flags major asymmetries and strong non-circular motions, conditions under which a rotation curve does not trace the equilibrium potential. Second, we decouple the architectural limits of the dataset into three independently measured quantities -- the no-model point scatter (sigma_M0 = 0.1860 dex), the residual floor after free per-galaxy intercepts (sigma_M3 = 0.1058 dex), and the propagated analytic error floor -- together with the absorbable budget sqrt(sigma_M0^2 - sigma_M3^2) = 0.1530 dex derived from the first two. Finally, we provide an 8-cell protocol grid to reconcile Leave-One-Out (LOO) Mean Squared Prediction Error (MSPE) ratios. We demonstrate that reported structural-dynamical couplings must be evaluated with strict adherence to residual definitions (median vs. mean, signed vs. absolute) and baseline denominators to avoid adopting labeling artifacts as new physics.
