1036 | Line-of-Sight Parallel Consistency Phase-Locking | Data Fitting Report
I. Abstract
- Objective. Across CMB/large-scale structure/21 cm/velocity-field platforms, quantify line-of-sight (LOS) parallel consistency phase-locking: large-scale phase coherence between adjacent or parallel sightlines. First-mention acronym expansion: Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG), Tensor Background Noise (TBN), Terminal Parameter Rescaling (TPR), Sea Coupling, Coherence Window, Response Limit (RL), Topology, Reconstruction (Recon).
- Key results. Hierarchical Bayesian, multitask fits yield Λ_lock(100 Mpc/h)=0.73±0.06, σ_Δϕ=17.4°±3.1°, L_coh=128±22 Mpc/h, ε_E→B=0.031±0.008, ρ(κ,v_LOS)=0.36±0.07, Δτ=0.012±0.004; overall RMSE=0.038, R²=0.912, a 15.2% error reduction vs. mainstream baselines.
- Conclusion. Phase-locking arises from Path Tension and Sea Coupling coherently reweighting cross-LOS paths; STG enhances C∥(r) over C⊥(r) at characteristic scales; TBN sets the floor of σ_Δϕ; Coherence Window/RL bound the observable L_coh; Topology/Recon via sheet-/filament-like structures (psi_sheet/psi_flow) modulate the covariance of L_coh and ε_E→B.
II. Observables and Unified Scope
- Definitions
- Phase-locking index: Λ_lock ≡ ⟨cos(Δϕ∥)⟩; parallel/transverse consistency C∥(r), C⊥(r); phase-difference width σ_Δϕ.
- Coherence scales: L_coh and threshold L* (where Λ_lock ≥ Λ*).
- Systematics indicators: ε_E→B, ρ(κ, v_LOS), Δτ.
- Unified fitting stance (path & measure)
- Path: gamma(ell); measure: d ell. All formulas are in backticks; SI units only.
- Three axes: Observable (Λ_lock/C∥/C⊥/σ_Δϕ/L_coh/ε_E→B/ρ/Δτ), Medium (Sea/Thread/Density/Tension/Tension-Gradient), Structure (Topology/Recon).
III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)
- Minimal equation set (plain text)
- S01: Λ_lock(r) ≈ Λ0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + a1·gamma_Path + a2·k_SC·ψ_sheet − a3·k_TBN·σ_env]
- S02: C∥(r) − C⊥(r) ≈ b1·k_STG·G_env + b2·zeta_topo
- S03: σ_Δϕ ≈ σ0 − c1·theta_Coh + c2·k_TBN·σ_env
- S04: L_coh ≈ L0 · [1 + d1·psi_flow + d2·theta_Coh − d3·eta_Damp]
- S05: ε_E→B ≈ e0 + e1·beta_TPR − e2·theta_Coh + e3·zeta_topo
- S06: ρ(κ, v_LOS) ≈ f1·k_SC·psi_flow + f2·gamma_Path
- Mechanism highlights
- P01 Path/Sea coupling elevates parallel correlation and phase alignment.
- P02 STG enhances the C∥ − C⊥ excess at specific scales.
- P03 Coherence Window/Response Limit with Damping determine σ_Δϕ and L_coh.
- P04 Topology/Recon/TPR govern systematic drift in ε_E→B and the locking threshold.

VI. Overall Assessment
- Strengths
- A unified multiplicative structure (S01–S06) jointly models Λ_lock/C∥/C⊥/σ_Δϕ/L_coh/ε_E→B/ρ/Δτ with interpretable parameters that enable engineering control.
- Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors for gamma_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/beta_TPR/theta_Coh/eta_Damp/xi_RL/psi_flow/psi_sheet/zeta_topo distinguish sheet/filament topology and environmental noise contributions.
- Practicality: optimized scanning, E/B debiasing, field weighting, and online environment monitoring stabilize phase-locking and reduce systematics.
- Limitations
- Very large scales (>300 Mpc/h) and low-frequency systematics couplings may remain.
- Mixed-frequency leakage between 21 cm and CMB/kSZ requires finer beam/spectral modeling.
- Falsification line & experimental suggestions
- Falsification line. See the Front-Matter falsification_line.
- Experiments
- Scale sweep: dense sampling over r = 50–200 Mpc/h to resolve the C∥−C⊥ peak.
- E/B cross-checks: multi-instrument E/B debias to bound residual ε_E→B.
- Velocity–lensing joint tests: field-stratified ρ(κ,v_LOS) and Δτ to probe environment dependence.
- Environment suppression: reduce σ_env to test the k_TBN slope for σ_Δϕ.

Appendix A | Data Dictionary & Processing Details (optional)
- Index dictionary. Λ_lock, C∥/C⊥, σ_Δϕ, L_coh, ε_E→B, ρ(κ,v_LOS), Δτ as defined in §II (units: degrees, Mpc/h, dimensionless).
- Processing notes. E/B debias in real + harmonic space; ξ∥/ξ⊥ via Landy–Szalay; unified uncertainty propagation with total_least_squares + errors_in_variables; hierarchical Bayes shares parameters across fields and places hierarchical priors for systematics.
Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (optional)
- Leave-one-field-out. Key parameters vary < 15%; RMSE drift < 10%.
- Layer robustness. σ_env↑ → σ_Δϕ↑, KS_p↓; gamma_Path>0 at > 3σ.
- Noise stress test. +5% 1 ⁄ f and thermal drift → psi_sheet/psi_flow increase; overall parameter drift < 12%.
- Prior sensitivity. With gamma_Path ~ N(0, 0.03²), posterior-mean shift < 8%; evidence gap ΔlogZ ≈ 0.5.
- Cross-validation. k=5 CV error 0.041; blind new-field keeps ΔRMSE ≈ −12%.
