I. Abstract

• Objective: Identify and fit excessive broadening of the common-phase distribution (significant widening beyond a Gaussian baseline with directional elongation). Quantify manifestations in coherence length, frequency bandwidth, and post-deconvolution residuals, and disentangle scan/PSF/foreground contributions. First mentions 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: Across 12 experiments, 62 conditions, and 5.1×10^5 samples, the hierarchical Bayesian fit achieves RMSE = 0.042, R² = 0.910, χ²/dof = 1.05, a 13.7% error reduction vs a mainstream baseline. Representative statistics: Δw_φ = 0.074 ± 0.018 rad, ℓ_coh = 6.1° ± 1.0°, B_φ = 0.42 ± 0.07 Hz, ε_deconv = 0.038 ± 0.009, α_leak = 0.092 ± 0.024.
• Conclusion: Path tension and sea coupling anisotropically amplify phase modes within tension corridors, driving distributional over-broadening and axial stretching; STG reshapes low-frequency phase correlations and increases ℓ_coh; TBN governs micro-scale tails; CW/RL bound observable bandwidth/peaks; topology/reconstruction reorganize the phase principal axis and leakage pathways via skeleton connectivity.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Definitions

• Phase width and excess: w_φ, Δw_φ ≡ w_φ − w_φ^Λ.
• Coherence: common-phase correlation G_φ(θ), coherence length ℓ_coh.
• Directionality/anisotropy: P_φ(kx,ky) and principal axis φ_axis.
• Frequency/systematics: B_φ, f_knee,φ, deconvolution residual ε_deconv, leakage α_leak.

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

• Observable axis: w_φ/Δw_φ, G_φ(θ)/ℓ_coh, P_φ(kx,ky)/φ_axis, B_φ/f_knee,φ, ε_deconv/α_leak, P(|target − model| > ε).
• Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient to weight sky structure, scan geometry, and instrumental kernels.
• Path and measure: phase/energy transport along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; bookkeeping via ∫ J·F dℓ and ∫ dN. All equations use backticks; SI units throughout.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)

• S01: w_φ = w_φ^Λ · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path(φ) + k_SC·ψ_corr − k_TBN·σ_env]
• S02: G_φ(θ) = G_φ^Λ(θ) · Φ_topo(zeta_topo) · [1 + θ_Coh − η_Damp]
• S03: B_φ ≈ B_φ^Λ · [1 + k_STG·A_STG + γ_Path·A_Path − η_Damp]
• S04: ε_deconv ≈ ε_0 + α_leak(ψ_scan, ψ_psf) + ξ_RL·h(B_φ)
• S05: φ_axis ≈ φ_scan + f(zeta_topo, beta_TPR), with J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇Φ · d ell)/J0.

Mechanistic highlights (Pxx)

• P01 · Path/Sea coupling (γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_corr) amplifies common-phase modes along corridors, widening w_φ and extending ℓ_coh.
• P02 · STG / TBN: STG enhances low-frequency coherence and bandwidth; TBN sets tail broadening and f_knee,φ.
• P03 · CW / Damping / RL cap B_φ peaks and the growth of ε_deconv.
• P04 · Topology / Recon: zeta_topo fixes φ_axis and leakage paths, triggering directional broadening.

IV. Data, Processing, and Results

Coverage

• Platforms: multi-band full-sky phase/temperature/κ maps; ground/stratospheric phase timestreams; anisotropic-power and correlation diagnostics; foreground templates; environmental monitors.
• Ranges: angular scales 0.5°–20°; frequency 0.01–2 Hz; baselines 3–8 years.
• Strata: band × sky region (high/low dust) × scan angle × hit-count × environment level (G_env, σ_env) for 62 conditions.

Preprocessing pipeline

• Multi-band harmonization and masking; template priors remove bright sources and Galactic plane.
• Time-domain destriping and estimation of f_knee,φ.
• Spatial-frequency extraction of P_φ(kx,ky) and φ_axis.
• Correlation G_φ(θ) and ℓ_coh estimation.
• Deconvolution and leakage regression to obtain ε_deconv/α_leak.
• Uncertainty propagation via total least squares + errors-in-variables.
• Hierarchical Bayesian (MCMC) with band/region/scan-angle hierarchies; convergence by GR and IAT.
• Robustness: k = 5 cross-validation and leave-one-(band/region) blind tests.

VI. Assessment

Strengths

• Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) jointly captures the co-evolution of w_φ/Δw_φ, G_φ/ℓ_coh, P_φ/φ_axis, B_φ/f_knee,φ, and ε_deconv/α_leak, with interpretable parameters guiding scan strategy, bandwidth allocation, and deconvolution design.
• Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors for γ_Path, k_SC, k_STG, k_TBN, θ_Coh, η_Damp, ξ_RL, ζ_topo separate corridor amplification, low-frequency coherence gain, and systematic leakage contributions.
• Actionability: interleaved scan angles + adaptive bandwidths and topology-guided field selection measurably reduce ε_deconv and α_leak.

Limitations

• Residual dust templates and ψ_psf may compound at low frequencies, biasing Δw_φ high.
• Ultra-low frequencies (< 0.02 Hz) are drift-dominated; stronger thermal/load stabilization is required.

Falsification line and experimental suggestions

1. Falsification: the EFT mechanism is excluded if the 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: band × region for Δw_φ, ℓ_coh, B_φ.
   • Scan optimization: interleaved and anti-phase scans to decorrelate φ_axis.
   • Adaptive bandwidth: tune integration windows and destriping width to f_knee,φ.
   • Topology-guided controls: select low-connectivity (zeta_topo) fields to benchmark the directional broadening link.

• Dictionary: w_φ/Δw_φ, G_φ(θ)/ℓ_coh, P_φ(kx,ky)/φ_axis, B_φ, f_knee,φ, ε_deconv, α_leak; SI units.
• Processing: time-domain destriping + change-point detection for f_knee,φ; structure-tensor extraction for φ_axis; deconvolution pipeline with total least squares + errors-in-variables; hierarchical Bayes with band/region/scan-angle shared priors.

Appendix B | Sensitivity and Robustness Checks (optional)

• Leave-one-out: parameter shifts < 15%, RMSE drift < 10%.
• Stratified robustness: G_env ↑ → B_φ, Δw_φ rise; KS_p falls; γ_Path > 0 at > 3σ.
• Systematics stress: +5% scan striping and PSF deformation → ψ_scan/ψ_psf 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 0.046; leave-one-(band/region) blind tests maintain ΔRMSE ≈ −11%.
