Abstract: We discuss physics of the three neutrino flavor transformation with non-unitary mixing matrix, with particular attention to the correlation between the $u$SM- and the $alpha$ parameters which represent effect of unitarity violating (UV) new physics. Toward the goal, a new perturbative framework is created to illuminate the effect of non-unitarity in region of the solar-scale enhanced oscillations. We refute the skepticism about the physical reality of the $u$SM CP $delta$ - $alpha$ parameter phase correlation by analysis with the SOL convention of $U_{extinyMNS}$ in which $e^{pmidelta}$ is attached to $s_{12}$. Then, a comparative study between the solar- and atmospheric-scale oscillation regions allowed by the framework reveals a dynamical $delta-$(blobs of the $alpha$ parameters) correlation in the solar oscillation region, in sharp contrast to the ``chiral type phase correlation $$ in the PDG convention seen in the atmospheric oscillation region. An explicit perturbative calculation to first order in the $u_{mu}ightarrow{u}_e$ channel allows us to decompose the UV related part of the probability into the unitary evolution part and the genuine non-unitary part. We observe that the effect of non-unitarity tends to cancel between these two parts, as well as between the different $$ parameters.
