Latency-Gated Coherent Emission with Anchored Memory Scales: A Non-Markovian Effective Model for ASKAP J1832–0911

This revised version strengthens the phenomenological application of the MetaTime non-Markovian kernel to the long-period transient ASKAP J1832-0911. The paper models the source as a latency-gated coherent emitter whose magnetospheric state is represented by an effective order parameter subject to delayed dissipation and causal memory. Relative to the previous version, the revised manuscript clarifies the physical meaning of the reduced coordinate q(t) as a coarse-grained magnetospheric coherence or current-closure parameter, specifies a minimal bistable potential consistent with thresholded on/off behavior, and anchors the effective latency parameters to physically motivated mesoscopic timescales.
The treatment of Landauer cost is also made more conservative and explicit: it is retained as an energetic bookkeeping identity rather than as a stand-alone physical constraint in the absence of an independently anchored effective temperature. The paper further sharpens the non-Markovian phenomenology by explaining why memory effects are expected to become observationally relevant primarily near the critical gating threshold, where small delays in the latent state can shift burst onset and decay. In addition, the population-level prediction is strengthened through an approximate relation between the duty cycle and the effective leakage and latency parameters, making the proposed source-class trends more quantitatively testable.
The result is a more disciplined and submission-ready phenomenological EFT for ASKAP J1832-0911: still deliberately modest about compact-object microphysics, but now better anchored, more explicit about its assumptions, and clearer about the genuinely new prediction of hysteresis and path dependence in long-period transient emission.
