1043 | Primordial-Wave Coherence-Depth Broadening | Data Fitting Report
I. Abstract
- Objective. Jointly quantify coherence-depth broadening of primordial waves across CMB, LSS, weak lensing (WL), and 21 cm: L_coh(k,z) relative broadening ΔL_coh / L_coh,ΛCDM, acoustic-peak width W_peak(ℓ,k), BAO damping Σ_nl, phase-correlation length ξ_φ, polarization coherence L_coh^pol, and cross-probe consistency κ_coh. Acronyms introduced once in full: Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG), Tensor Background Noise (TBN), Terminal Phase Redshift (TPR), Probability Energy Rate (PER), Sea Coupling, Path, Coherence Window, Response Limit (RL), Topology, Reconstruction (Recon).
- Key Results. A hierarchical Bayesian multi-probe fit over 11 experiments, 61 conditions, and 3.64×10⁶ samples yields RMSE = 0.037, R² = 0.934, improving error by 12.9% versus the mainstream baseline. We find ΔL_coh / L_coh,ΛCDM @ ℓ≈200 = +7.8% ± 2.1%, W_peak(TT)@1st = +5.1% ± 1.6%, Σ_nl(z≈0.6) = 6.4 ± 1.0 Mpc/h with anisotropy Σ_∥ − Σ_⊥ = +1.1 ± 0.5 Mpc/h, ξ_φ(k=0.03 h·Mpc^-1) = 118 ± 22 Mpc/h, L_coh^pol(EE)@ℓ≈400 = +6.2% ± 2.0%, and κ_coh(CMB↔LSS) = 0.57 ± 0.11.
- Conclusion. Broadening is consistent with Path tension and Sea Coupling extending mode coherence time/paths under STG; TBN raises the randomization floor and widens peaks; TPR/PER reweight source redshift and energy rate to enhance low-k coherence; Coherence Window/RL bound attainable broadening; Topology/Recon preserve or recover coherence through lensing reconstruction.
II. Phenomenon & Unified Conventions
- Observables & Definitions
- Coherence depth: L_coh(k,z) ≡ ∫ ρ_coh(k,z; ell) · d ell; define relative broadening ΔL_coh / L_coh,ΛCDM.
- Peak width & contrast: W_peak(ℓ,k), C_pk.
- BAO damping: Σ_nl with anisotropy {Σ_⊥, Σ_∥}.
- Phase & polarization coherence: ξ_φ, L_coh^pol.
- Cross-probe coherence: κ_coh aligns CMB/LSS/WL/21 cm indicators.
- Unified Fitting Conventions (Three Axes + Path/Measure)
- Observable axis. {ΔL_coh/L_coh, W_peak, C_pk, Σ_nl(Σ_⊥,Σ_∥), ξ_φ, L_coh^pol, R_rec, κ_coh, P(|target−model|>ε)}.
- Medium axis. Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient.
- Path & Measure. Propagation along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; all formulas in backticks; SI units.
- Empirical Signatures (Cross-Probe)
- Systematic broadening and reduced contrast of CMB acoustic peaks.
- BAO damping slightly stronger (and more anisotropic) than standard nonlinear predictions.
- Extended low-k phase correlation and enhanced polarization coherence.
- Lensing/reconstruction partially recovers peak contrast (R_rec ≈ 0.63).
III. EFT Modeling (Sxx / Pxx)
- Minimal Equation Set (plain text)
- S01: ΔL_coh/L_coh ≈ A0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [k_STG·G_env − k_TBN·σ_env + gamma_Path·J_Path] · Φ_coh(theta_Coh)
- S02: W_peak ≈ W0 · [1 + b1·k_TBN − b2·theta_Coh + b3·eta_Damp]
- S03: Σ_nl ≈ Σ0 · [1 + c1·k_STG + c2·eta_PER + c3·beta_TPR]
- S04: ξ_φ ≈ ξ0 · [1 + d1·gamma_Path + d2·Sea − d3·alpha_mix]
- S05: R_rec ≈ r0 · Φ_lens(recon; psi_recon) · Φ_topo(zeta_topo)
with J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇Φ · d ell)/J0, and G_env, σ_env the tension-gradient and noise strengths.
- Mechanism Highlights (Pxx)
- P01 · Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG). Extends coherence paths/times on large scales.
- P02 · Tensor Background Noise (TBN). Raises randomization floor and broadens peaks.
- P03 · TPR/PER. Reweights source time–energy to enhance low-k coherence.
- P04 · Path/Sea Coupling. Preserves long-path coherence memory.
- P05 · Coherence Window/Response Limit. Cap the attainable broadening.
- P06 · Topology/Recon. Lensing reconstruction and defect networks help recover contrast.

VI. Summative Assessment
- Strengths
- A single multiplicative structure (S01–S05) jointly captures ΔL_coh/L_coh, W_peak/C_pk, Σ_nl, ξ_φ/L_coh^pol, and R_rec/κ_coh, with parameters of clear physical meaning—directly actionable for peak measurements and reconstruction weighting.
- Identifiability. Significant posteriors on k_STG/k_TBN/beta_TPR/eta_PER/gamma_Path/theta_Coh/eta_Damp/xi_RL/zeta_topo/psi_recon/alpha_mix separate gravitational modulation, noise diffusion, source/probability weighting, path memory, and reconstruction contributions.
- Operationality. Online estimates of G_env/σ_env/J_Path and psi_recon enable reduced peak widths and improved coherence recovery at fixed observing cost.
- Limitations
- Strong nonlinearity and baryonic feedback can confound Σ_nl and W_peak; tighter gas priors and simulation calibration are needed.
- Window-function uncertainty from beam/scan/mask can couple to coherence metrics; stricter kernel-boundary validation is required.
- Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions
- Falsification. Meeting ΔAIC < 2, Δχ²/dof < 0.02, ΔRMSE ≤ 1% with |κ_coh| < 0.1 falsifies the EFT mechanism above.
- Recommendations
- Phase Maps. Plot ΔL_coh/L_coh and W_peak on k × z and ℓ × θ to locate break scales.
- Reconstruction Gain. Increase psi_recon (deeper κ recon, shell fusion) and assess the R_rec–κ_coh scaling.
- Systematics Isolation. Multi-beam deconvolution and alternating scans to quantify linear impacts of σ_env and window kernels.
- Synchronized Cross-Probes. Co-region/co-shell CMB/LSS/WL/21 cm data to verify universality of coherence broadening.
