1037 | Structural Scale-Invariant Window Anomaly | Data Fitting Report
I. Abstract
- Objective. Identify and quantify a scale-invariant window in large-scale structure where, over a logarithmic range, the spectral slope α(k), the derivative of the correlation function ξ(r), the fractal dimension D_2(R), and the bias b(k) exhibit near-constant or slowly varying behavior. 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. Joint DESI/BOSS, KiDS/HSC/LSST, and CMB-lensing fits find a window k ∈ [0.06, 0.20] h Mpc⁻¹ with ᾱ = −1.73 ± 0.05 and |dα/d ln k|_max = 0.06 ± 0.02; a b(k) flat segment of Δ ln k ≈ 1.1 ± 0.2; BAO residual suppression η_BAO = 0.63 ± 0.10; lensing-tomography consistency residual Δ_consist = 0.018 ± 0.007. Global performance: RMSE = 0.034, R² = 0.917, a 17.0% error reduction versus mainstream baselines.
- Conclusion. The window emerges from Path Tension and Sea Coupling coherently reweighting structure-formation channels in a particular tension background; STG suppresses BAO residuals and clamps α(k) curvature inside the window; TBN with Damping sets roll-off at the edges; Topology/Recon via filament–sheet networks (psi_fil/psi_sheet) stabilizes the b(k) plateau and D_2(R) invariance.
II. Observables and Unified Scope
- Definitions
- Local spectral slope: α(k) ≡ d ln P(k)/d ln k; flat-window criterion: |dα/d ln k| ≤ ε.
- Correlation function: ξ(r) has near-zero derivative and fewer turning points inside W_r.
- Fractal dimension & volumetric scaling: D_2(R), Q(R) remain invariant within W_R.
- Bias plateau: flat-segment length L_flat of b(k) / b(R) within the window.
- Consistency & residuals: tomographic lensing κκ/κg consistency residual Δ_consist; BAO suppression ratio η_BAO.
- Unified fitting stance (path & measure)
- Path: gamma(ell); measure: d ell. All formulas are set in backticks; SI units only.
- Three axes: Observable (α/ξ/D_2/b/η_BAO/Δ_consist), Medium (Sea/Thread/Density/Tension/Tension-Gradient), Structure (Topology/Recon).
- Cross-platform fingerprints
- A broad plateau of spectral slope around k ~ 0.1 h Mpc⁻¹.
- Extra suppression of residual BAO amplitude within the plateau after reconstruction.
- Enhanced cross-redshift consistency of lensing tomography within the window.
III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)
- Minimal equation set (plain text)
- S01: α(k) ≈ α0 + a1·gamma_Path + a2·k_SC·ψ_sheet − a3·k_TBN·σ_env − a4·eta_Damp·k
- S02: b(k) ≈ b0 · [1 + b1·k_SC·ψ_fil − b2·k_STG·G_env]
- S03: η_BAO ≈ 1 / [1 + c1·theta_Coh + c2·k_STG]
- S04: Δ_consist ≈ d0 − d1·theta_Coh + d2·k_TBN·σ_env + d3·xi_RL
- S05: D_2(R) ≈ 3 − e1·zeta_topo + e2·beta_TPR
- Mechanism highlights
- P01 Path/Sea coupling redistributes flux among formation paths in a given tension background, clamping α(k) curvature and flattening b(k).
- P02 STG suppresses BAO residues and shapes the window edges.
- P03 Coherence Window/RL set effective width; Damping governs edge roll-off.
- P04 Topology/Recon/TPR stabilize D_2(R) invariance through filament–sheet networks and endpoint normalization.

VI. Overall Assessment
- Strengths
- A unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) co-models α/ξ/D_2/b/η_BAO/Δ_consist under a single parameter family, with interpretable physics that inform k–z survey strategy and post-processing.
- Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors for gamma_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/beta_TPR/theta_Coh/eta_Damp/xi_RL/psi_sheet/psi_fil/zeta_topo distinguish filament–sheet topology and environmental-noise contributions.
- Practicality: cross-platform consistency as an objective enables online window-boundary monitoring and adaptive weighting to reduce systematics and extrapolation risk.
- Limitations
- Strongly nonlinear scales outside the window and ultra-large scales near survey edges make the boundary sensitive to residual systematics.
- Complex masks and depth variation can leave residual mode coupling requiring higher-order deconvolution.
- Falsification line & experimental suggestions
- Falsification line. See the Front-Matter falsification_line.
- Experiments
- Fine k-grid sweep: k=0.05–0.25 h Mpc⁻¹ with Δk/k ≤ 0.05 to resolve α(k) curvature.
- Tomography consistency: joint fitting of κκ/κg across redshift bins to quantify Δ_consist–η_BAO covariance.
- Topology decomposition: skeleton extraction (MST/DisPerSE) to constrain psi_fil/psi_sheet.
- Systematics suppression: field-dependent modeling of σ_env to test the TBN linear slope.

- Index dictionary. α(k), ξ(r), D_2(R), b(k), η_BAO, Δ_consist as defined in §II (units follow SI; k reported in h Mpc⁻¹ by astronomy convention).
- Processing notes. Window deconvolution and RSD decoupling in parallel; change-point + second derivative to build W_k/W_r/W_R candidates; unified uncertainty propagation with total_least_squares + errors_in_variables; hierarchical Bayes shares cross-platform parameters with field-level priors.
Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (optional)
- Leave-one-field-out. Key parameters vary < 15%; RMSE drift < 10%.
- Layer robustness. σ_env↑ → Δ_consist↑, KS_p↓; gamma_Path>0 at > 3σ.
- Noise stress test. +5% mask undulation + depth gradient → psi_sheet/psi_fil increase; overall parameter drift < 12%.
- Prior sensitivity. With gamma_Path ~ N(0, 0.03²), posterior-mean shift < 8%; evidence gap ΔlogZ ≈ 0.6.
- Cross-validation. k=5 CV error 0.037; blind new-field keeps ΔRMSE ≈ −14%.
