![The scaling test of effective field theory frequency shifts for [latex]\mathcal{O}_{9}[/latex] and [latex]\mathcal{O}_{10}[/latex] at [latex]\ell=2[/latex] demonstrates a predominantly linear dependence on the coupling ζ, as evidenced by the near-flat behavior of [latex]\Re\!\left(\delta_{\rm Leaver}/\zeta\right)[/latex] and [latex]\Im\!\left(\delta_{\rm Leaver}/\zeta\right)[/latex], though deviations at larger ζ values suggest the emergence of higher-order contributions that complicate the system’s graceful aging.](https://arxiv.org/html/2603.01456v1/2603.01456v1/x4.png)
