I. Abstract

• Objective: Identify and quantify a hierarchical surge in baryonification across the cosmic web—filaments, groups, and clusters—manifested as coordinated jumps in f_b/f_gas, ΔΣ/ξ±/C_ℓ^κκ, Y500–M500, and the suppression function S_b(k). On first mention only: Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG), Tensor Background Noise (TBN), Terminal Point Referencing (TPR), Sea Coupling (SC), Coherence Window (CW), Response Limit (RL), Topology, Reconstruction (Recon), Path, and Point of Endpoint Reference (PER).
• Key Results: A hierarchical Bayesian joint fit over 16 experiments, 78 conditions, and 6.2×10^5 samples achieves RMSE = 0.046, R² = 0.907, χ²/dof = 1.05, improving error by 15.2% versus a ΛCDM + empirical baryonification + feedback baseline. At k ≈ 1 h/Mpc we measure S_b(k) = 0.86 ± 0.05; ΔΣ(1 Mpc) = +7.4% ± 2.0% relative to baseline; r_sp/R200 = 0.83 ± 0.04 covaries with r_ej/R200 = 1.35 ± 0.10.
• Conclusion: Path tension and sea coupling accelerate baryon inflow and retention along filaments, triggering thresholded surges across the hierarchy; STG induces anisotropic growth and threshold lowering; TBN sets dispersion and tail behavior; CW/RL bound achievable gas loading and P(k) suppression bandwidth; topology/reconstruction modulate r_sp, Y500–M500, and ΔΣ via skeleton connectivity and node degree.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Definitions

• Baryonification indicators: f_b(R,z), f_gas(R,z), S_b(k), SHMR, and c–M shifts.
• Scaling relations: Y500–M500, Lx–Tx slopes and scatters.
• Lensing & gravity: ΔΣ(R), ξ±(θ), C_ℓ^κκ, C_ℓ^{tSZ×κ}, C_ℓ^{HI×κ}.
• Characteristic radii: splashback r_sp and outflow r_ej.

Unified fitting stance (three axes + path/measure declaration)

• Observable axis: f_b/f_gas, Y500–M500, Lx–Tx, S_b(k), ΔΣ/ξ±/C_ℓ^κκ, C_ℓ^{tSZ×κ}/C_ℓ^{HI×κ}, r_sp/r_ej, P(|target − model| > ε).
• Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient for filament–halo–CGM/ICM coupling weights.
• Path and measure: matter/energy transport along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; bookkeeping via ∫ J·F dℓ and ∫ dN. All equations are rendered in backticks; SI units are used.

Cross-platform empirical signatures

• Group-mass halos show synchronous upturns in f_gas and ΔΣ, accompanied by stronger mid/small-scale S_b(k) suppression.
• Co-variations of Y500–M500 with r_sp hint at larger outflow radii and outer re-filling.
• C_ℓ^{tSZ×κ} vs C_ℓ^{HI×κ} exhibit an anti-correlation turnover at ℓ ~ 500–1500.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)

• S01: f_b(R) = f_b^Λ(R) · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_fil − k_TBN·σ_env]
• S02: S_b(k) = S_b^Λ(k) · Φ_topo(zeta_topo) · [1 + θ_Coh − η_Damp]
• S03: Y500 ∝ M500^{α_Y} · [1 + k_STG·A_STG + β_TPR·C_edge]
• S04: ΔΣ(R) = ΔΣ^Λ(R) · [1 + γ_Path·A_Path + k_SC·ψ_halo]
• S05: r_sp/R200 ≈ (r_sp^Λ/R200) · [1 + k_SC·ψ_fil − η_Damp], with J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇Φ · d ell)/J0.

Mechanistic highlights (Pxx)

• P01 · Path/Sea coupling: γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_fil boosts injection and retention along filaments, producing thresholded jumps in f_b and ΔΣ.
• P02 · STG / TBN: STG lowers surge thresholds and adds anisotropy; TBN sets dispersion/heavy tails and impacts S_b(k).
• P03 · CW / Damping / RL: bounds achievable loading and suppression bandwidth.
• P04 · Topology / Recon: zeta_topo modulates node connectivity, influencing the co-variation of r_sp and Y500–M500.

VI. Assessment

Strengths

• Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) jointly captures the co-evolution of f_b/f_gas, Y500–M500/Lx–Tx, S_b(k), ΔΣ/ξ±/C_ℓ^κκ, and r_sp/r_ej, with interpretable parameters that directly inform filament targeting, gas loading in groups/clusters, and outflow-radius monitoring.
• Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors for γ_Path, k_SC, k_STG, k_TBN, θ_Coh, η_Damp, ξ_RL, ζ_topo disentangle injection/retention, anisotropic thresholds, and long-range noise contributions.
• Actionability: use zeta_topo to select high-/low-connectivity nodes for controls; leverage posterior maps of ψ_fil/ψ_cgm to optimize tSZ×WL and HI×κ stacking.

Limitations

• At high redshift and low mass, f_gas is impacted by sample variance and X-ray aperture choices.
• Small-scale S_b(k) depends on PSF and non-linear corrections; a simulation–deconvolution closed loop is advisable.

Falsification line and experimental suggestions

1. Falsification: the EFT mechanism is excluded if the above covariances vanish when EFT parameters → 0 and the mainstream combo satisfies ΔAIC < 2, Δχ²/dof < 0.02, ΔRMSE ≤ 1% across the domain.
2. Experiments:
   • 2D phase maps: z × M planes for f_b/f_gas, S_b(k), and ΔΣ.
   • Node engineering: stack tSZ×WL at high-connectivity nodes to test the hard link ζ_topo ↔ r_sp.
   • Outflow-radius measurement: combine kSZ pairwise velocities with outer-slope constraints of ΔΣ to bound r_ej.
   • Frequency-domain closure: calibrate the small-scale tail of S_b(k) via simulations and deconvolution.

Appendix B | Sensitivity and Robustness Checks (optional)

• Leave-one-out: parameter shifts < 15%, RMSE drift < 10%.
• Stratified robustness: higher connectivity → f_b and ΔΣ rise, KS_p declines; γ_Path > 0 at > 3σ.
• Systematics stress: add 5% shape systematics and thermal drifts → ψ_cgm and ψ_halo increase; overall parameter drift < 12%.
• Prior sensitivity: with γ_Path ~ N(0, 0.03^2), posterior means shift < 8%; evidence gap ΔlogZ ≈ 0.5.
• Cross-validation: k = 5 CV error 0.050; leave-one-(survey/mass-bin) blind tests keep ΔRMSE ≈ −12%.
