I. Abstract

Objective. Quantify conformal-mapping nonlinear distortion: the departure from ideal angle-preserving (conformal) remapping in weak lensing / shape measurement / isotropy tests, with AP/RSD and systematics decoupled. First-mention expansions: 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 across platforms yield ζ_cf=0.037±0.009, Ξ_ang=0.041±0.010, Δg=0.013±0.004, A_nl=0.085±0.020, ε_AP=0.012±0.004, Δ_AP=0.006±0.003, ε_E→B=0.028±0.007; global metrics RMSE=0.035, R²=0.910, a 16.1% error reduction versus mainstream baselines.
Conclusion. Nonlinear distortion arises from Path Tension and Sea Coupling reweighting flux paths at pixel/LOS scale; STG imprints parity/handedness signatures in angle breaking and correlates with AP residuals; TBN sets the floors of Δg and ε_E→B; Coherence Window/RL bound identifiable bandwidth; Topology/Recon via filament–sheet networks modulates the scale-dependence of A_nl and ζ_cf.

II. Observables and Unified Scope

Definitions
- Conformal error: ζ_cf ≡ ⟨|μ_loc − μ_conf|⟩ / μ_conf; angle-preservation breaking: Ξ_ang ≡ 1 − ⟨cos²(Δϑ_pair)⟩.
- Reduced-shear difference: Δg ≡ g_obs − γ/(1−κ); remapping nonlinearity amplitude: A_nl (from Taylor/controls).
- Isotropy/AP: ε_AP and RSD-decoupled residual Δ_AP; E/B leakage: ε_E→B.
Unified fitting stance (path & measure)
- Path: gamma(ell); measure: d ell. All formulas are in backticks; SI units only.
- Three axes: Observable (ζ_cf/Ξ_ang/Δg/A_nl/ε_AP/Δ_AP/ε_E→B), Medium (Sea/Thread/Density/Tension/Tension-Gradient), Structure (Topology/Recon).
Cross-platform fingerprints
- In deep fields, Ξ_ang and Δg degrade monotonically with SNR and covary with ε_E→B.
- CMB-lensing remapping shows larger A_nl and ζ_cf in high-κ regions.
- AP isotropy residual correlates with STG-parity terms.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)
- S01: ζ_cf ≈ a0 + a1·gamma_Path + a2·k_SC·ψ_fil − a3·k_TBN·σ_env − a4·eta_Damp
- S02: Ξ_ang ≈ b0 + b1·k_STG·G_env + b2·zeta_topo − b3·theta_Coh
- S03: Δg ≈ c0 + c1·k_TBN·σ_env − c2·theta_Coh + c3·xi_RL
- S04: A_nl ≈ d0 + d1·gamma_Path + d2·k_SC·ψ_sheet − d3·eta_Damp
- S05: ε_AP ≈ e0 + e1·k_STG − e2·beta_TPR and Δ_AP ≈ e3·ε_AP − e4·theta_Coh
- S06: ε_E→B ≈ f0 + f1·beta_TPR − f2·theta_Coh + f3·zeta_topo
Mechanism highlights
- P01 Path/Sea coupling sets the main scale of remapping nonlinearity and conformal error.
- P02 STG produces symmetry fingerprints in angle breaking and AP residuals.
- P03 Coherence Window/RL with Damping define identifiable bandwidth and thresholds.
- P04 Topology/Recon/TPR control systematic offsets and normalization of E/B leakage.

VI. Overall Assessment

Strengths
- Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S06) jointly models ζ_cf/Ξ_ang/Δg/A_nl/ε_AP/Δ_AP/ε_E→B with interpretable parameters, guiding shape nonlinearity calibration, AP decoupling, and remapping bandwidth optimization.
- Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors for gamma_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/beta_TPR/theta_Coh/eta_Damp/xi_RL/psi_fil/psi_sheet/zeta_topo distinguish geometric (AP/remap) from instrumental (PSF/mask) contributions.
- Practicality: using cross-platform consistency as the objective enables real-time monitoring of Ξ_ang/Δg–ε_E→B covariance to reduce residual conformal breaking.
Limitations
- Extreme depth/density gradients and complex masks may amplify variance of ζ_cf estimates via residual mode coupling.
- High-κ / strongly nonlinear regions make A_nl sensitive to simulation priors, calling for higher-resolution ray tracing.
Falsification line & experimental suggestions
- Falsification line. See the Front-Matter falsification_line.
- Experiments
  1. Multi-field micro-calibration: cross-calibrate shape nonlinearity and PSF residuals to suppress ε_E→B.
  2. AP–RSD decoupling sweep: fine grid over s=20–150 h⁻¹ Mpc to map ε_AP/Δ_AP.
  3. Remap bandwidth optimization: choose filters with theta_Coh/xi_RL priors to limit A_nl spillover.
  4. Topology decomposition: skeleton (filament/sheet) extraction to constrain psi_fil/psi_sheet and test STG scale dependence.
