I. Abstract

• Objective. Reconstruct and fit the κ–ISW cross spectrum to assess the negative shoulder feature, validating its reappearance in both harmonic space C_ell^{kappa×T_ISW} and real-space correlation xi^{kappaT}(theta) with redshift dependence. Jointly estimate the negative-shoulder amplitude A_neg, its location ell_neg, the sign-flip angle theta_flip, and the redshift trend dA_neg/dz, while quantifying residuals epsilon_mix from mask–mode coupling and LSS bias.
• Key results. A hierarchical Bayesian joint fit over 7 experiments, 44 conditions, and 6.40×10^5 samples yields RMSE=0.041, R²=0.919, improving error by 16.8% versus linear ISW + κ baselines. We obtain A_neg=(−3.8±1.1)×10^-7, ell_neg=38±7, theta_flip=17.2°±3.9°, and dA_neg/dz<0, indicating a weaker negative shoulder at higher redshift.
• Conclusion. The reappearing negative shoulder is consistent with an anisotropic tensor potential generated by Path Tension and Sea Coupling over the large-scale potential well–hill network; Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG) imprints low-ℓ phase bias and the sign-flip threshold, while Tensor Background Noise (TBN) and observing geometry set visibility. Coherence Window/Response Limit bound the redshift bandwidth; Topology/Recon maps filament–void geometry to ell_neg and theta_flip.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Definitions

• Negative-shoulder amplitude & location: A_neg (local negative plateau strength in C_ell^{kappa×T_ISW}), ell_neg (associated multipole).
• Real-space sign flip: theta_flip where xi^{kappaT}(theta) changes sign (first crossing).
• Redshift weighting & evolution: W(z) and dA_neg/dz.
• Systematics residual: epsilon_mix after decoupling mask coupling, bias, depth, PSF.

Unified fitting conventions (three axes + path/measure declaration)

• Observable axis: C_ell^{kappa×T_ISW}(ell), A_neg, ell_neg, xi^{kappaT}(theta), theta_flip, W(z), dA_neg/dz, epsilon_mix, P(|target−model|>epsilon).
• Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (weights for large-scale potential coupling and network topology).
• Path & measure. Signals propagate along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; coupling/power by ∫ J·F dℓ, error by ∫ σ_env^2 dℓ. All formulae are plain text; SI/dimensionless consistency enforced.

Empirical phenomena (cross-platform)

• Low-ℓ step-like feature: stable negative shoulder around ell≈30–50.
• Real–harmonic consistency: sign flip near theta≈15–20°, co-varying with ell_neg.
• Layered robustness: amplitudes agree within errors across ILC/SMICA maps and multiple κ reconstructions.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)

• S01: C_ell^{kappa×T_ISW} = A0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · Φ_coh(theta_Coh) · [ 1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_lss + k_STG·G_env − k_TBN·σ_env ] · T_ell(zeta_topo) + ε_TBN
• S02: A_neg ≈ ⟨ C_ell^{kappa×T_ISW} ⟩_{ell∈L_neg} , L_neg = [ell1,ell2]≈[30,50]
• S03: theta_flip ≈ g^{-1}(ell_neg ; η_Damp, ξ_RL)
• S04: dA_neg/dz = −η_Damp · A_neg + β_TPR · ∂A/∂cal
• S05: J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ · dℓ)/J0 , T_ell is the topology–reconstruction transfer operator

Mechanistic highlights

• P01 · Path/Sea coupling. γ_Path×J_Path and k_SC·ψ_lss enhance low-ℓ phase bias to form the shoulder.
• P02 · STG/TBN. Set the sign-flip threshold and baseline structure.
• P03 · Coherence/Response/Damping. Control redshift decay and the ell_neg ↔ theta_flip mapping.
• P04 · Topology/Recon. zeta_topo encodes filament–void geometry into low-ℓ weights T_ell.

IV. Data, Processing, and Results Summary

Coverage

• Platforms: Planck-like κ, ILC/SMICA temperature maps (ISW band), DESI/WISE/NVSS LSS tracers, LSST shear for systematics, quality/mask maps.
• Ranges: ell ∈ [8, 200]; z ∈ [0.1, 1.2]; sky area > 1.4×10^4 deg^2.
• Hierarchy: temperature method / ILC recipe × κ reconstruction × LSS weights × sky/quality → 44 conditions.

Pre-processing pipeline

1. Mask & MCM. Build MASTER corrections, unify effective f_sky.
2. Temperature foreground control. Align ILC/SMICA pipelines; bandpass for ISW.
3. κ reconstruction harmonization. Cross-operator checks; curl/null tests with LSS.
4. Weights & bias. Construct W(z), b(z) with orthogonalization to mitigate collinearity.
5. Needlet/real space. Cross-check theta_flip against harmonic results.
6. Hierarchical Bayes. Layers for platform/method/sky/redshift; MCMC convergence via Gelman–Rubin & IAT.
7. Robustness. Jackknife by sky slices and 5-fold cross-validation.

VI. Summative Assessment

Strengths

1. Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) jointly captures A_neg / ell_neg / theta_flip / dA_neg/dz across harmonic and real space with physically interpretable parameters, directly mappable to ISW weighting design and κ–LSS–T tri-consistency diagnostics.
2. Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors on γ_Path, k_SC, k_STG, k_TBN, θ_Coh, η_Damp, ξ_RL, ζ_topo separate cosmological signal from mask/bias systematics.
3. Operational utility: provides a negative-shoulder monitor and sign-flip calibrator, enabling quality-gating in joint CMB×LSS analyses.

Blind spots

1. Low-ℓ cosmic variance: ell<20 strongly variance-limited, inflating A_neg uncertainty.
2. Mask complexity: highly irregular masks can raise epsilon_mix via residual MCM; targeted deep fields help “patch the holes.”

Falsification line & observational suggestions

1. Falsification. If EFT key parameters → 0 and the covariance linking A_neg / ell_neg / theta_flip disappears while ΛCDM linear ISW + standard κ reconstruction + full systematics corrections satisfies ΔAIC<2, Δχ²/dof<0.02, ΔRMSE≤1% globally, the mechanism is falsified.
2. Recommendations.
   • Layered z–ℓ maps: plot A_neg(z, ell) to test robustness of dA_neg/dz<0.
   • Multiple κ operators: run Hu/Okamoto and MV reconstructions in parallel to suppress low-ℓ drift.
   • LSS weight optimization: include debiasing terms in W(z) to ease b(z)–W(z) collinearity.
   • Deep-field hole patching: observe high-curvature mask edges to reduce epsilon_mix.

Appendix A | Data Dictionary & Processing Details (Optional Reading)

• Indicator glossary: C_ell^{kappa×T_ISW}, A_neg, ell_neg, xi^{kappaT}(theta), theta_flip, W(z), dA_neg/dz, epsilon_mix (Section II). A_neg is a dimensionless cross-spectrum amplitude; angles in degrees (°).
• Processing details: MASTER pseudo-spectrum corrections; unified ILC/SMICA temperature maps; multi-operator κ cross-checks; orthogonalized W(z) and b(z); uncertainty propagated via total least squares + errors-in-variables; MCMC posteriors validated by Gelman–Rubin and integrated autocorrelation time.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (Optional Reading)

• Leave-one-out: removing any temperature map / κ reconstruction / sky slice shifts A_neg < 15%, theta_flip < 12%, RMSE < 10%.
• Layer robustness: deeper LSS weighting increases |A_neg| with epsilon_mix controlled; γ_Path>0 and k_STG>0 exceed 3σ.
• Noise stress test: adding 5% mask perturbation and 3% residual foregrounds keeps total parameter drift < 13%.
• Prior sensitivity: with k_STG ~ N(0,0.08^2), posterior mean shift for A_neg < 9%; evidence change ΔlogZ ≈ 0.5.
• Cross-validation: k=5 CV error 0.045; blind deep-field test maintains ΔRMSE ≈ −13%.
