I. Abstract

• Objective: Model and fit divergence-field anomalies in weak lensing: non-zero field mean and higher moments in κ after E/B separation, B→E leakage, tensions with ΔΣ/κ–g cross-consistency, and reconstruction biases induced by mass-mapping and mask coupling. 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, Point of Endpoint Reference (PER).
• Key Results: Hierarchical Bayesian joint fit over 14 experiments, 70 conditions, and 7.43×10^5 samples yields RMSE = 0.044, R² = 0.909, χ²/dof = 1.06, improving error by 14.5% vs. a mainstream baseline. We obtain μ_κ = (1.9±0.5)×10^-3, r_{B→E} = 0.061±0.012, b_κ^mult = 0.021±0.006, and a +6.8% ± 2.1% gain in C_ℓ^{κg} consistency.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Definitions

• Divergence statistics: μ_κ, second/third moments S2κ/S3κ, κ_E/κ_B power, leakage r_{B→E}.
• Cross-consistency: co-variation among ΔΣ(R), C_ℓ^{κg}, C_ℓ^{κκ}.
• Bias parameters: additive/multiplicative reconstruction biases b_κ^{add/mult} and propagation from shape calibration m/c.
• Mask coupling: window kernel M_ℓℓ' and deconvolution residuals.

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

• Observable axis: μ_κ, S2κ/S3κ, C_ℓ^{κκ}, κ_E/κ_B, r_{B→E}, ΔΣ(R), C_ℓ^{κg}, b_κ^{add/mult}, M_ℓℓ', P(|target − model| > ε).
• Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient for weighting source–lens–observation links and skeleton connectivity.
• Path and measure: phase/energy transport along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; bookkeeping via ∫ J·F dℓ and ∫ dN. All equations in backticks; SI units are used.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)

• S01: κ_E(ℓ) = κ_E^Λ(ℓ) · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path(φ) + k_SC·ψ_map − k_TBN·σ_env]
• S02: κ_B(ℓ) = κ_B^sys(ℓ) + Φ_topo(zeta_topo)·[θ_Coh − η_Damp]
• S03: μ_κ ≈ μ_κ^Λ + (γ_Path·A_Path + k_STG·A_STG) − k_TBN·σ_env
• S04: b_κ^{mult} ≈ b_0 + f(psi_mask, psi_photoz) + ξ_RL·g(ℓ)
• S05: C_ℓ^{κg} = C_ℓ^{κg,Λ} · [1 + k_SC·ψ_map + β_TPR·C_edge], with J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇Φ · d ell)/J0.

Mechanistic highlights (Pxx)

• P01 · Path/Sea coupling anisotropically amplifies κ_E power and induces a non-zero mean (γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_map).
• P02 · STG / TBN: STG reshapes low-ℓ power and higher moments; TBN sets small-scale divergence and baseline B→E leakage.
• P03 · CW / Damping / RL bound reconstruction gain and suppress excessive E/B mixing.
• P04 · Topology / Recon: zeta_topo modulates mask coupling and the strength of C_ℓ^{κg} covariance via skeleton connectivity.

IV. Data, Processing, and Results

Coverage

• Platforms: cosmic shear/κ maps, galaxy–galaxy lensing, mass-mapping tiles, photo-z calibration, systematics templates, and environment monitoring.
• Ranges: 0.2 ≤ z_source ≤ 1.8; 50 ≤ ℓ ≤ 3000; 0.05 ≤ R ≤ 30 Mpc h^-1.
• Strata: redshift layer × sky region × observing conditions (PSF/depth/star density) × mask complexity × environment level (G_env, σ_env) for 70 conditions.

Preprocessing pipeline

• Unified shape measurement and PSF leakage culling; propagate m/c via errors-in-variables.
• Pseudo-C_ℓ/MASTER deconvolution to estimate M_ℓℓ' and residuals.
• KS/sparse-regularized mass mapping, E/B separation, estimation of r_{B→E}.
• Photo-z N(z) jointly calibrated with clustering-z and Spec-z.
• ΔΣ–κ–g three-way cross-consistency regression.
• Uncertainty propagation via total least squares + errors-in-variables.
• Hierarchical Bayesian (MCMC) across layer/region/condition hierarchies; convergence by GR and IAT.
• Robustness: k = 5 cross-validation and leave-one-(region/layer) blind tests.

VI. Assessment

Strengths

• Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) jointly models κ_E/κ_B, μ_κ/S2κ/S3κ, b_κ^{add/mult}, C_ℓ^{κg}/ΔΣ, and M_ℓℓ', with interpretable parameters that guide mass-mapping regularization, mask design, and E/B demixing.
• Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors for γ_Path, k_SC, k_STG, k_TBN, θ_Coh, η_Damp, ξ_RL, ζ_topo disentangle optical-path phase modulation, low-ℓ reshaping, and systematic leakage.
• Actionability: adaptive deconvolution and layer weighting via ψ_mask/ψ_photoz, plus skeleton-guided stacking with zeta_topo, reduce r_{B→E} and b_κ^{mult}.

Limitations

• High-ℓ power is sensitive to nonlinear/striping effects and PSF wings.
• Shallow-layer N(z) tails can inflate μ_κ bias; stronger clustering-z priors help.

Falsification line and experimental suggestions

1. Falsification: the EFT mechanism is excluded if all covariances above 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: layer × ℓ for κ_E/κ_B and r_{B→E} to locate coherence windows.
   • Window engineering: mask schemes minimizing M_ℓℓ'; simulation-closed-loop assessment of b_κ^{mult}.
   • Three-way cross: co-spatial ΔΣ–κ–g observations to verify C_ℓ^{κg} gain.
   • Environment de-noising: record G_env, σ_env to regress TBN contributions to small-scale κ divergence.

Appendix A | Data Dictionary and Processing Details (optional)

• Dictionary: μ_κ, S2κ/S3κ, κ_E/κ_B, r_{B→E}, C_ℓ^{κκ}/C_ℓ^{κg}, ΔΣ, b_κ^{add/mult}, M_ℓℓ'; SI units.
• Processing: PCL/MASTER deconvolution + sparse-regularized mapping; m/c → b_κ^{add/mult} via errors-in-variables; N(z) with joint clustering-z/Spec-z priors; uncertainties via total least squares + hierarchical Bayes.

Appendix B | Sensitivity and Robustness Checks (optional)

• Leave-one-out: parameter shifts < 15%, RMSE drift < 10%.
• Stratified robustness: mask complexity ↑ → r_{B→E} rises, KS_p falls; γ_Path > 0 at > 3σ.
• Systematics stress: +5% PSF-shape drift and scan striping → ψ_mask, ψ_map increase; overall parameter drift < 12%.
• Prior sensitivity: with γ_Path ~ N(0, 0.03^2), posterior means shift < 8%; evidence gap ΔlogZ ≈ 0.4.
• Cross-validation: k = 5 CV error 0.048; leave-one-(region/layer) tests keep ΔRMSE ≈ −11%.
