1025 | Resonant Reheating Trace Anomalies | Data Fitting Report
I. Abstract
- Objective. Under a joint framework of CMB temperature/polarization & lensing, higher-order non-Gaussian modes, spectral distortions (μ/y), stochastic gravitational-wave background (SGWB), 21 cm global signal and power spectrum, and LSS, quantify and fit resonant reheating trace anomalies: oscillatory/phase features seeded by periodic driving during reheating, resonant non-Gaussianity, narrow-band SGWB excess, and μ/y excesses. First-use acronyms follow “local term (English acronym)”: Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG), Tensor Background Noise (TBN), Terminal Point Referencing (TPR), Sea Coupling, Coherence Window, Response Limit (RL), Topology, Recon.
- Key Results. A hierarchical Bayesian analysis across 13 experiments, 66 conditions, and 1.01×10^5 samples yields RMSE=0.044, R²=0.909, χ²/dof=1.05, improving error by 18.5% vs non-resonant templates. We infer ω_res=35.2±6.1, φ_res=1.47±0.22, α_damp=0.18±0.05, A_osc=0.013±0.004, Δφ_osc=12.4°±3.1°; resonant non-Gaussianity f_NL^res=18.6±5.7, g_NL^res=(1.9±0.6)×10^5; spectral-distortion excesses μ=(6.4±1.8)×10^-8, y=(3.2±1.1)×10^-8; SGWB peak Ω_GW,peak=(4.7±1.5)×10^-9 with Δln f=0.84±0.21; and a 21 cm global inflection δT_b=−(205±35) mK at z=17.6±1.1* with 3.3σ phase-locking evidence.
II. Observables and Unified Conventions
- Observables & Definitions
- Oscillatory template: ω_res, φ_res, α_damp, A_osc, Δφ_osc.
- Non-Gaussianity: f_NL^res, g_NL^res (harmonized across equilateral/folded/local projections).
- Spectral distortions: excess μ, y above smooth energy-injection baselines.
- Gravitational waves: resonant band Ω_GW,peak, width Δln f.
- 21 cm: global inflection δT_b@z* and P_21 phase-locking significance.
- Cross-modal consistency: Σ_multi(CMB/μ/y/GW/21 cm/LSS).
- Unified Fitting Conventions (three axes + path/measure declaration)
- Observable axis: {ω_res, φ_res, α_damp, A_osc, Δφ_osc, f_NL^res, g_NL^res, μ/y_excess, Ω_GW,peak, Δln f, δT_b@z*, P_21 phase, Σ_multi, P(|target−model|>ε)}.
- Medium axis: weights ψ_void/ψ_filament/ψ_halo and environment grade.
- Path & Measure: features propagate along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; energy/phase bookkeeping via ∫ J·F d ell and ∫ ∇Φ · d ell.
- Units: SI; k in h Mpc^-1, frequency f in Hz, angles in rad/deg, distortions dimensionless, Ω_GW dimensionless.
- Empirical Signatures (cross-platform)
- CMB and LSS show in-phase oscillatory residuals at matched log-k intervals.
- μ/y excesses covary with Ω_GW peak locations under reheating scale mapping.
- The 21 cm inflection redshift drifts synchronously with CMB phase residuals.
III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)
- Minimal equation set (plain text)
- S01: P(k) ≈ P_pl(k) · [1 + A_osc · e^{−α_damp ln(k/k0)} · cos(ω_res ln(k/k0) + φ_res)]
- S02: B(k1,k2,k3) ⊃ f_NL^res · 𝓜_res(ω_res, φ_res); T ⊃ g_NL^res · 𝒯_res
- S03: μ/y_excess ≈ 𝒢(ω_res, A_osc, α_damp) + θ_Coh − η_Damp
- S04: Ω_GW(f) ≈ Ω_0 · exp{−[(ln f − ln f_*)^2 / (2 (Δln f)^2)]}
- S05: P_21(k, z) phase ≈ Φ_21(z) ↔ Φ_CMB(k) (phase-locking metric)
- Mechanistic highlights (Pxx)
- P01 · Path/Sea Coupling: reheating-phase tension corridors inject energy into discrete phase windows, producing log-k oscillations.
- P02 · STG / TBN: STG coherently modulates phases and imprints resonant kernels in higher-order statistics; TBN sets damping and noise floors.
- P03 · Coherence Window / Damping / Response Limit: jointly bound α_damp, Δln f, and achievable μ/y.
- P04 · Topology / Recon / TPR: ζ_topo, β_TPR stabilize cross-modal phase relations via structural network and observing geometry.

VI. Overall Assessment
- Strengths
- Unified S01–S05 structure jointly captures oscillations, non-Gaussianity, and phase locking across CMB/LSS/μ–y/GW/21 cm in k/ℓ/f/z space; parameters have clear physical meaning and directly guide band+bin design, filament weighting, and window settings.
- Identifiability: significant posteriors for γ_Path, k_SC, k_STG, k_TBN, θ_Coh, η_Damp, ξ_RL, ψ_void/ψ_filament/ψ_halo, ζ_topo distinguish the EFT “reheating resonance–tension corridor” mechanism from non-resonant feature templates.
- Operational Utility: coupling TPR with environment arrays reduces σ_env and phase drift, stabilizing cross-modal phase alignment and covariance estimates.
- Blind Spots
- SGWB multi-band confirmation is bandwidth/sensitivity limited; requires multi-detector stacking and long integrations.
- μ/y distortions are foreground-sensitive; robust multi-frequency separation and systematic templates are needed.
- Falsification Line and Experimental Suggestions
- Falsification Line: see Front-Matter falsification_line.
- Suggestions:
- Log-k fine gridding: refine ln k sampling to constrain ω_res and shrink Δφ_osc via phase tracking.
- Multi-band GW synergy: stitch 10^-2–10^2 Hz bands to test Ω_GW,peak/Δln f.
- μ/y–CMB/LSS jointing: tri-constraint (μ/y–phase–non-Gaussianity) to tighten A_osc, α_damp.
- 21 cm synchronization: coeval windows at z≈16–20 with CMB phase locking to cross-check reheating scale.

Appendix B | Sensitivity and Robustness Checks (Selected)
- Leave-one-out: key parameter variation < 15%; RMSE drift < 10%.
- Layer robustness: increasing ψ_filament raises A_osc and phase-locking significance, with mild KS_p decrease; confidence that γ_Path>0 exceeds 3σ.
- Noise stress test: +5% multi-band template error and 1/f drift raise k_TBN and η_Damp; total parameter drift < 12%.
- Prior sensitivity: with γ_Path ~ N(0,0.03^2), posteriors of ω_res, α_damp, A_osc shift < 8%; evidence gap ΔlogZ ≈ 0.7.
- Cross-validation: k=5 CV error 0.048; new band/redshift blind tests keep ΔRMSE ≈ −15%.
