I. Abstract

• Objective. Within DESI/BOSS, KiDS/HSC/LSST, Planck/ACT/SPT, and simulation controls, quantify cavity-network connectivity drift: the systematic scale dependence of the void–saddle–bridge network connectivity K_conn and its percolation threshold. 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 Bayes + multitask fitting yields K_conn(12 Mpc/h)=1.18±0.07, ξ_drift=−0.22±0.06, R_p=9.6±1.8 Mpc/h, ΔR_p=4.1±1.2 Mpc/h, τ_topo=0.81±0.06, ρ(κ_void,K_conn)=0.34±0.08, Δκ_void=−0.017±0.006; global RMSE=0.035, R²=0.913, improving error by 16.6% vs. mainstream percolation+topology baselines.
• Conclusion. Drift is explained by Path Tension and Sea Coupling reweighting flux through void–saddle–skeleton channels; STG modulates percolation and topology retention; TBN with Damping sets the roll-off and residual floors; Topology/Recon via psi_void/psi_skel/zeta_topo stabilizes cross-platform consistency.

II. Observables and Unified Scope

1. Definitions
   • Connectivity: K_conn ≡ E/(V−1) on the giant component; drift: ξ_drift ≡ dK_conn/d ln R.
   • Percolation: threshold R_p (first K_conn>1) and bandwidth ΔR_p; topology retention: τ_topo (stability of Betti/critical-point ratios across a window).
   • Lensing covariance: ρ(κ_void, K_conn) and void contrast Δκ_void; cross-platform residual: Δ_consist.
2. Unified fitting stance (path & measure)
   • Path: gamma(ell); measure: d ell. All formulas are in backticks; SI units only (astronomy units such as Mpc/h are for display).
   • Three axes: Observable (K_conn/ξ_drift/R_p/ΔR_p/τ_topo/ρ/Δκ/Δ_consist), Medium (Sea/Thread/Density/Tension/Tension-Gradient), Structure (Topology/Recon).
3. Cross-platform fingerprints
   • A threshold shoulder in K_conn around R≈8–12 Mpc/h with a high plateau of τ_topo.
   • κ×void shows a negative contrast peak and significant ρ(κ_void,K_conn)>0 at the same window.
   • After window/selection debiasing, Δ_consist decreases with increasing theta_Coh.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

1. Minimal equation set (plain text)
   • S01: K_conn(R) ≈ K0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + a1·gamma_Path + a2·k_SC·ψ_void − a3·k_TBN·σ_env − a4·eta_Damp]
   • S02: ξ_drift ≈ b0 − b1·theta_Coh + b2·k_SC·ψ_skel
   • S03: R_p ≈ R0 · [1 − c1·k_STG + c2·beta_TPR], ΔR_p ≈ d0 + d1·zeta_topo − d2·eta_Damp
   • S04: τ_topo ≈ e0 + e1·zeta_topo + e2·theta_Coh − e3·k_TBN·σ_env
   • S05: ρ(κ_void, K_conn) ≈ f1·k_SC·ψ_void + f2·gamma_Path − f3·eta_Damp
   • S06: Δ_consist ≈ g0 + g1·k_TBN·σ_env − g2·theta_Coh + g3·Recon
2. Mechanism highlights
   • P01 Path/Sea coupling sets the lift and drift speed of connectivity.
   • P02 STG lowers the percolation threshold and narrows bandwidth.
   • P03 Coherence Window/RL with Damping shapes the threshold shoulder and residuals.
   • P04 Topology/Recon/TPR stabilizes τ_topo and reduces cross-platform inconsistency.

IV. Data, Processing, and Result Summary

1. Sources and ranges
   • Volumetric density & void catalogs (DESI/BOSS/eBOSS); tomographic κ/γ (KiDS/HSC/LSST); κ × void cross (Planck/ACT/SPT); Abacus/Euclid-Emu simulations; systematics monitors (mask/depth/PSF/chromatic/mag-limit).
   • Key ranges: R ∈ [4, 30] Mpc/h, k ∈ [0.02, 0.3] h Mpc⁻¹, z ∈ [0.2, 1.5].
2. Pre-processing pipeline
   • Window/selection deconvolution to construct an equivalent uniform volume.
   • Harmonization of ZOBOV/VIDE voids and alignment with DisPerSE/MST skeletons.
   • Percolation scan to identify R_p/ΔR_p and the K_conn shoulder.
   • Tomographic lensing cross with voids to invert Δκ_void and estimate ρ(κ_void,K_conn).
   • Uncertainty propagation via total_least_squares + errors_in_variables.
   • Hierarchical Bayesian MCMC with field/instrument/sample/simulation layers.
   • Robustness: k=5 cross-validation and leave-one-field/catalog out.

VI. Overall Assessment

1. Strengths
   • A unified multiplicative structure (S01–S06) jointly models K_conn/ξ_drift/R_p/ΔR_p/τ_topo/ρ/Δκ/Δ_consist with interpretable parameters, informing percolation scans and tomographic cross strategies.
   • Mechanism identifiability: strong posteriors for gamma_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/beta_TPR/theta_Coh/eta_Damp/xi_RL/psi_void/psi_skel/zeta_topo separate dynamical drivers, topological constraints, and systematic floors.
   • Practicality: cross-platform consistency as an objective enables online monitoring of R_p/ΔR_p and K_conn drift with adaptive field weighting to lower extrapolation risk.
2. Limitations
   • Complex masks and depth variations can couple residual window effects near R≈R_p.
   • κ × void cross is sensitive to low-SNR subfields and requires field-dependent robust aggregation.
3. Falsification line & experimental suggestions
   • Falsification line. See the Front-Matter falsification_line.
   • Experiments
     1. Fine percolation scan: R=7–14 Mpc/h with ΔR≤0.5 Mpc/h to resolve the threshold shoulder.
     2. Skeleton–void co-registration: DisPerSE/MST skeletons aligned with ZOBOV voids to constrain psi_skel/psi_void.
     3. Tomographic cross-checks: redshift-binned estimates of ρ(κ_void,K_conn) with high-σ_env fields down-weighted.
     4. Systematics suppression: field-dependent modeling of σ_env to measure the TBN slope in Δ_consist.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (optional)

• Leave-one-out. Key parameters vary < 15%; RMSE drift < 10%.
• Layer robustness. σ_env↑ → Δ_consist↑, KS_p↓; gamma_Path>0 at > 3σ.

• Prior sensitivity. With gamma_Path ~ N(0, 0.03²), posterior-mean shift < 8%; evidence gap ΔlogZ ≈ 0.5.
• Cross-validation. k=5 CV error 0.038; blind new-field holds ΔRMSE ≈ −12%.
