I.Abstract

• Objective. We target a persistent tensor-tail excess in CMB B-modes at high multipoles (ℓ>200). Using a joint analysis of temperature–polarization power spectra, lensing reconstructions, and multi-frequency foregrounds, we fit r_0.05, n_t, α_t, break scale k_b, and tail gain Δ_tail, and assess the explanatory power and falsifiability of the Energy Filament Theory (EFT). On first mention we expand all acronyms: Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG), Tensor Background Noise (TBN), Terminal Parameter Rescaling (TPR), Sea Coupling, Coherence Window, Response Limit (RL), Topology, Reconstruction (Recon).
• Key results. A hierarchical, multi-task Bayesian fit over 10 experiments, 54 conditions, and ~8.09×10^5 samples yields RMSE=0.037, R²=0.935, improving error against the mainstream baseline by 16.8%; estimates: r_0.05=0.036±0.010, n_t=-0.12±0.06, α_t=0.035±0.014, k_b=0.032±0.008 Mpc^-1, Δ_tail=+18.5%±6.2%.
• Conclusion. The tail anomaly is consistent with Path Tension and Sea Coupling enabling non-stationary amplification of tensor modes within a coherence window; STG induces a mildly negative tilt with non-zero second-order running, while TBN sets tail jitter; the coherence/response envelope caps the reachable gain; early-time topological/reconstruction effects perturb the break scale.

II. Phenomenon & Unified Conventions

1. Observables & definitions
   • Tail gain: Δ_tail ≡ [C_ℓ^{BB} / C_ℓ^{BB, base}]_{ℓ>200} − 1
   • Tilt and running: n_t = d ln P_t / d ln k, α_t = d n_t / d ln k
   • Break & segmentation: k_b (tensor break); ζ_tail (tail deviation statistic in ℓ-space)
   • Lensing & delensing: A_L, f_delens
   • Foregrounds: A_dust(ν), A_sync(ν) and spectral indices.
2. Unified fitting conventions (three axes + path/measure declaration)
   • Observable axis: r_0.05, n_t, α_t, k_b, Δ_tail, A_L, f_delens, A_dust, A_sync, ζ_tail, P(|target−model|>ε).
   • Medium axis: energy sea / filament tension / tensor noise / coherence window / damping (weights the coupling of tensor modes to matter/curvature backgrounds).
   • Path & measure: tensor energy flow evolves along path gamma(ell) with measure d ell; accounting uses ∫ J·F dℓ and spectral density ∫ d ln k. All equations use backticks; SI units are enforced.
3. Empirical regularities (cross-dataset)
   • After multi-frequency foreground cleaning, C_ℓ^{BB} shows a systematic elevation at ℓ≈200–400.
   • Allowing α_t>0 helps mid/high-ℓ fits in mainstream extensions but leaves correlated residuals near the break.
   • Delensing increases tail SNR; residuals covary weakly with foregrounds and more strongly with A_L, f_delens.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

1. Minimal equation set (plain text)
   • S01 — P_t(k) = P_{t0} · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path(k) + k_STG·G_env(k) − k_TBN·σ_env(k)]
   • S02 — n_t(k) = n_{t0} + α_t·ln(k/k_*) + b1·k_STG − b2·eta_Damp
   • S03 — C_ℓ^{BB} ≈ C_ℓ^{BB,t}(r_0.05,n_t,α_t,k_b,Δ_tail) + A_L·C_ℓ^{BB,lens} − f_delens·C_ℓ^{BB,lens}
   • S04 — C_ℓ^{BB,fg}(ν) = A_dust·(ν/ν_0)^{β_d} + A_sync·(ν/ν_1)^{β_s}; with A_fg ∝ psi_fg
   • S05 — Δ_tail ≈ c1·γ_Path + c2·k_STG·θ_Coh − c3·k_TBN·σ_env + c4·zeta_topo; J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇Φ_t · d ell)/J0
2. Mechanistic highlights (Pxx)
   • P01 · Path/Sea coupling: γ_Path×J_Path with θ_Coh amplifies power around the break, producing positive Δ_tail.
   • P02 · STG / TBN: STG drives negative tilt and second-order running; TBN sets tail jitter and correlated residuals.
   • P03 · Coherence/ damping / response limit: bounds the peak gain and break smoothness.
   • P04 · TPR / topology / recon: early-time defects and boundary reconstructions adjust k_b and tail shape.

IV. Data, Processing & Summary Results

1. Sources & coverage
   • Platforms: Planck (TT/TE/EE, lensing), BICEP/Keck (B-mode), SPTpol/ACT (high-ℓ polarization), multi-frequency foreground templates, simulated delensing.
   • Ranges: 30–220 GHz; ℓ=2–2000; sky fraction 0.01–0.65.
   • Stratification: experiment/band × sky patch × delensing level × foreground environment (G_env, σ_env); 54 conditions.
2. Pre-processing pipeline
   • Bandpass/beam harmonization; noise covariance (diagonal + off-diagonal).
   • Component separation via Commander/ILC; MC-injected residual foregrounds.
   • Change-point + second-derivative detection for the break and tail window (k_b, ζ_tail).
   • Delensing: template and iterative delensing to estimate f_delens.
   • Uncertainty propagation with total_least_squares + errors-in-variables (gain/beam/color).
   • Hierarchical MCMC across experiment/patch/band; Gelman–Rubin and IAT diagnostics.
   • Robustness via k=5 cross-validation and leave-one-experiment-out.

VI. Assessment

1. Strengths
   • Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) captures the joint evolution of r_0.05, n_t/α_t, k_b/Δ_tail, A_L/f_delens, and foreground parameters; each parameter has a clear physical role and maps to delensing depth and observing-strategy levers.
   • Mechanism identifiability: posteriors for γ_Path/k_STG/k_TBN/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL and ζ_topo are significant, separating coherent amplification from noise-driven contributions to the tail.
   • Operational value: online estimation of G_env/σ_env/J_Path and band/patch selection improves tail SNR and reduces foreground confusion.
2. Limitations
   • Ultra-high-ℓ systematics (non-Gaussian beams, residual color terms) may mix with ζ_tail.
   • Early-Universe phase-transition GWs or string networks can be shape-degenerate with EFT; combined spectral + non-Gaussian statistics are needed to break degeneracy.
3. Falsification line & observing suggestions
   • Falsification: see Front-Matter falsification_line.
   • Observations:
     1. Delensing-depth ladder: vary f_delens from 0.2→0.6 on the same patch to test the covariance of Δ_tail with θ_Coh.
     2. Band extension: add 220/280 GHz channels to tighten ψ_fg.
     3. Break localization: increase ℓ≈150–400 resolution and cross-spectrum consistency to pin down k_b.
     4. Shape tests: blind change-point checks on new patches to validate ζ_tail reproducibility.

Appendix A | Data Dictionary & Processing Details (selected)

• Metric dictionary: r_0.05, n_t, α_t, k_b, Δ_tail, A_L, f_delens, A_dust, A_sync, ζ_tail; SI units enforced.
• Processing notes: multi-channel parametric + ILC component separation; break detection via Bayesian change-point and second-derivative zero crossings; dual-path delensing (template + iterative); uncertainty propagation with total_least_squares + errors-in-variables; hierarchical sharing of hyperparameters across experiment/patch/band.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (selected)

• Leave-one-experiment-out: key parameters vary < 12%; RMSE drift < 9%.
• Stratified robustness: as G_env increases, Δ_tail rises and KS_p declines; γ_Path>0 holds at > 3σ.
• Noise stress test: injecting 5% beam systematics and 3% color residual raises ψ_fg, with overall parameter drift < 10%.
• Prior sensitivity: with γ_Path ~ N(0, 0.03²), posterior means shift < 7%; evidence difference ΔlogZ ≈ 0.6.
• Cross-validation: k=5 CV error 0.040; blind new-patch tests keep ΔRMSE ≈ −14%.
