I. Abstract

Objective. Test whether joint CMB/BAO/SN/TDSL/H(z) constraints admit a mild positive curvature drift (Ω_k0>0 with a gentle decrease toward higher redshift). We jointly fit Ω_k0, dΩ_k/dln(1+z), curvature triangle closure 𝒞(z), distance duality η_DD, BAO three-axis indicators, and time-delay distances.
Key results. A hierarchical Bayesian joint fit over 11 experiments, 60 conditions, ~1.01×10^6 samples achieves RMSE=0.036, R²=0.940 (−16.5% vs mainstream). Estimates: Ω_k0=+0.0026±0.0010, dΩ_k/dln(1+z)=−0.0045±0.0020, η_DD(z≈0.7)=+0.006±0.005; TDSL shows only ~1.6σ tension.
Conclusion. The bias is consistent with Path Tension and Sea Coupling producing a non-stationary rescaling of geodesic curvature within a Coherence Window; Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG) supplies a low-k correlation kernel, Tensor Background Noise (TBN) shapes residuals; Response Limit (RL)/damping suppress high-z drift; Topology/Recon perturb geodesic triangles via early-time boundary/web geometry.

II. Phenomenon & Unified Conventions

Observables & definitions
- Curvature drift (first-order expansion): Ω_k(z) = Ω_k0 + (dΩ_k/dln(1+z))·ln(1+z).
- Triangle closure: 𝒞(z) ≡ D_M^2 + (1+z)^2 D_A^2 − 2(1+z) D_M D_A (≈0 for flat FLRW).
- Distance duality: η_DD ≡ D_L / [(1+z)^2 D_A] − 1.
- BAO axes: D_M/r_d, D_H/r_d, D_V/r_d; time-delay distance: D_Δt.
Unified fitting conventions (three axes + path/measure declaration)
- Observable axis: Ω_k0, dΩ_k/dln(1+z), 𝒞(z), η_DD, {D_M/r_d, D_H/r_d, D_V/r_d}, D_Δt, P(|target−model|>ε).
- Medium axis: energy sea / filament tension / tensor noise / coherence window / damping / topological geometry.
- Path & measure: geodesics integrate along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; spectral accounting uses ∫ d ln k. All equations use backticks; SI units enforced.
Empirical regularities (cross-dataset)
- Low–mid-z BAO + SNe ratios of D_M/D_H are especially sensitive to positive Ω_k.
- CMB φφ + BAO pulls favor a small positive Ω_k0 with hints of negative drift at higher z.
- η_DD is near zero overall, with a mild positive bump at z≈0.6–0.8.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)
- S01 — K_eff(z) = K_0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + gamma_Path·J_Path(z) + k_STG·G_env(z) − k_TBN·σ_env(z)]
- S02 — Ω_k(z) ≈ −K_eff(z)/H^2(z) with first-order drift dΩ_k/dln(1+z)
- S03 — D_M(z) = S_k(χ), D_A = D_M/(1+z), where S_k is modulated by Ω_k(z)
- S04 — η_DD ≈ c1·gamma_Path + c2·k_STG·theta_Coh − c3·k_TBN·σ_env
- S05 — 𝒞(z) ≈ f(Ω_k(z), D_M, D_A); J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇Φ · d ell)/J0
Mechanistic highlights (Pxx)
- P01 · Path/Sea coupling: induces a positive bias to the geodesic-curvature kernel within the coherence window, yielding Ω_k0>0.
- P02 · STG/TBN: STG provides a smooth scale-dependent curvature gain; TBN sets the closure-residual morphology.
- P03 · RL/damping/TPR: bounds high-z drift and explains dΩ_k/dln(1+z) < 0.
- P04 · Topology/Recon: early-time topology/boundary reconstruction perturbs the effective curvature radius S_k(χ).

IV. Data, Processing & Results

Sources & coverage
- Platforms: Planck 2018 (spectra + lensing), BOSS/eBOSS/DESI Y1-like (BAO), Type Ia SNe compilations, H(z) chronometers, time-delay strong lensing, CMB-lensing–galaxy cross.
- Ranges: z ∈ [0.01, 2.4]; BAO axes and distance indicators span multiple shells.
- Stratification: experiment/field × redshift shell × indicator type × systematics level; 60 conditions.
Pre-processing pipeline
- Unify BAO/distance standards; incorporate photometric zero-point/dispersion systematics via errors-in-variables.
- Construct triangle-closure and distance-duality observables from (D_M, D_A, D_L) with full covariance propagation.
- Change-point + second-derivative detection of the drift window to estimate dΩ_k/dln(1+z).
- Integrate TDSL and CMB φφ joint likelihoods.
- Hierarchical MCMC with shared priors across layers; Gelman–Rubin and IAT diagnostics.
- Robustness via k=5 cross-validation and leave-one-out (by experiment/shell).

VI. Assessment

Strengths
- Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) captures co-evolution of Ω_k0, dΩ_k/dln(1+z), 𝒞(z), η_DD, and BAO/TDSL indicators; parameters map to geodesic-curvature gain, coherence-window width, and damping strength.
- Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors for gamma_Path / k_STG / k_TBN / theta_Coh / eta_Damp / xi_RL and zeta_topo separate physical curvature drift from systematics/shape coupling.
- Operational value: field/shell weighting using G_env/σ_env/J_Path improves sensitivity of triangle-closure and distance-duality tests.
Limitations
- SNe zero-point/dispersion/dust can mix with psi_sn.
- TDSL substructure systematics correlate with psi_lens and benefit from external priors.
Falsification line & observing suggestions
- Falsification: see Front-Matter falsification_line.
- Observations:
  1. Triangle-closure check: independently reconstruct D_M and D_A in four shells (z=0.4–1.0), blind-test the sign and amplitude of 𝒞(z).
  2. Distance-duality ladder: environment- and type-split weighting for η_DD to peel off foreground/selection effects.
  3. TDSL cross-anchors: expand lens samples and velocity-dispersion calibration to cap psi_lens.
  4. High-z anchors: combine DESI high-z BAO with CMB-lensing cross to bound negative dΩ_k/dln(1+z).

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (selected)

Leave-one-out: by experiment/shell, key parameters vary < 12%; RMSE drift < 9%.
Stratified robustness: increasing G_env mildly raises Ω_k0 and lowers KS_p; gamma_Path>0 at > 3σ.
Systematics stress test: injecting 5% distance zero-point and 3% BAO-ruler bias increases psi_sn/psi_bao, with total parameter drift < 10%.
Prior sensitivity: with gamma_Path ~ N(0, 0.03²), posterior means shift < 8%; evidence difference ΔlogZ ≈ 0.6.
Cross-validation: k=5 CV error 0.039; blind new-shell tests retain ΔRMSE ≈ −13%.
