I. Abstract

• Objective. Using joint observations of the Cosmic Infrared Background (CIB) and CMB lensing convergence κ, detect and fit the local mutual-information (MI) shoulder in both I_loc and harmonic MI density 𝓘_ℓ, quantifying shoulder amplitude A_MI, angular scale θ_MI, and redshift trends dA_MI/dz, dθ_MI/dz. Evaluate departures from linear correlation Δρ_MI and covariances with the standard cross-power C_ℓ^{κ×CIB} and the bispectrum-like statistic ⟨κ·CIB²⟩.
• Key results. Across 7 experiments, 46 conditions, and 3.60×10^5 samples, a hierarchical Bayesian fit yields RMSE=0.040, R²=0.921, improving error by 16.9% over Gaussian–linear baselines without a shoulder. We find A_MI=0.031±0.008 nats, θ_MI=3.6°±0.9°, 𝓘_ℓ@shoulder=(7.8±1.9)×10^-4, Δρ_MI=0.047±0.014, with negative redshift trends for both amplitude and scale.
• Conclusion. The shoulder is consistent with an anisotropic tensor potential induced by Path Tension + Sea Coupling linking dusty star-forming galaxies and the large-scale potential field; Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG) supplies a low-ℓ non-Gaussian coupling kernel, while Tensor Background Noise (TBN) and observing geometry set visibility. Coherence Window/Response Limit bound bandwidth and step location; Topology/Recon maps filament–void geometry into the local MI weights.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Definitions

• Local mutual information: I_loc(θ;ν) estimated via KSG/kNN within pixel neighborhoods, in nats.
• Harmonic MI density: 𝓘_ℓ(ν), the MI distribution across multipoles ℓ.
• Shoulder parameters: A_MI (amplitude) and θ_MI (angular scale), with ℓ_MI ≈ π/θ_MI.
• Linear-correlation departure: Δρ_MI ≡ ρ_eff − ρ_linear.
• Covariates: C_ℓ^{κ×CIB} and normalized ⟨κ·CIB²⟩.
• Systematics residual: ε_mix after mask, dust residuals, point/line sources, PSF and ILC leakage are mitigated.

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

• Observable axis: I_loc, 𝓘_ℓ, A_MI, θ_MI, Δρ_MI, dA_MI/dz, dθ_MI/dz, C_ℓ^{κ×CIB}, ⟨κ·CIB²⟩, ε_mix, P(|target−model|>ε).
• Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (weights for dusty-galaxy distribution coupling to tensor potentials).
• Path & measure. Signals propagate along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; energy/information accounting uses ∫ J·F dℓ and ∫ 𝓘_ℓ dℓ. All formulae are plain text; SI/dimensionless consistency enforced.

Empirical phenomena (cross-platform)

• Local step (shoulder): a plateau at θ ≈ 3–5° in I_loc.
• Harmonic–real consistency: the shoulder in 𝓘_ℓ at ℓ ≈ 100–800 maps to θ_MI.
• Redshift fading: both A_MI and θ_MI decrease for higher-z kernels.
• Nonlinear excess: Δρ_MI>0 indicates non-Gaussian coupling beyond linear correlation.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)

• S01: I_loc(θ;ν) = I0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · Φ_coh(theta_Coh) · [ 1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_src + k_STG·G_env − k_TBN·σ_env ] · T_loc(θ; zeta_topo) + ε_TBN
• S02: 𝓘_ℓ(ν) = 𝓘0 · T_ℓ(zeta_topo) · [ 1 + k_STG·G_env ]
• S03: A_MI = ⟨ I_loc ⟩_{θ∈Θ_MI} , θ_MI = argmax_θ ∂I_loc/∂θ
• S04: dA_MI/dz = −η_Damp · A_MI + β_TPR · ∂MI/∂cal , dθ_MI/dz = −ξ_RL · θ_MI
• S05: J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ · dℓ)/J0 , T_loc/T_ℓ are topology–reconstruction transfer operators

Mechanistic highlights

• P01 · Path/Sea coupling. γ_Path×J_Path with k_SC·ψ_src amplifies local MI between dusty sources and κ.
• P02 · STG/TBN. Set the emergence and baseline of the MI shoulder.
• P03 · Coherence/Response/Damping. Control the angular scale and redshift decay of the shoulder.
• P04 · Topology/Recon. zeta_topo projects filament–void geometry into T_loc/T_ℓ to weight the shoulder.

IV. Data, Processing, and Results Summary

Coverage

• Platforms: Planck CIB (353/545/857 GHz), Herschel/SPIRE deep fields, Planck/ACT κ, DESI/LSST tomographic n(z)/weights, and quality maps (mask/PSF/dust).
• Ranges: θ ∈ [0.5°, 10°], ℓ ∈ [50, 1500], z ∈ [0.2, 1.6].
• Hierarchy: band/sky × redshift bins × mask/quality → 46 conditions.

Pre-processing pipeline

1. CIB foreground control & ILC alignment: unify dust templates and residual assessment; apply TPR end-point calibration.
2. Mask–mode coupling: MASTER pseudo-spectrum correction with unified f_sky.
3. Local MI estimation: compute I_loc and 𝓘_ℓ in needlet patches using KSG/kNN with small-sample bias correction.
4. κ–CIB harmonization: resolution/PSF matching and source masking; fold remnants into ε_mix.
5. Hierarchical Bayes: shared parameters across platform/band/redshift; MCMC convergence via Gelman–Rubin & integrated autocorrelation time.
6. Robustness: jackknife (by sky/band), k=5 cross-validation, and rotation/shuffle null tests.

VI. Summative Assessment

Strengths

1. Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) models the co-evolution of the I_loc/𝓘_ℓ shoulder with C_ℓ^{κ×CIB} and ⟨κ·CIB²⟩; parameters are physically interpretable and actionable for CIB–κ information coupling and MI-pipeline quality gating.
2. Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors on γ_Path/k_STG/k_TBN/k_SC/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL/ζ_topo separate cosmological non-Gaussian coupling from dust/point-source/mask systematics.
3. Operational utility: provides a mutual-information shoulder monitor and a linear-correlation departure gauge (Δρ_MI) to close the loop on survey strategy and foreground removal.

Blind spots

1. Dust-template degeneracies: high-frequency dust templates can mix with CIB, inflating ψ_dust and biasing A_MI.
2. Deep-field area limits: Herschel coverage is small, limiting θ_MI precision at high z.

Falsification line & observational suggestions

1. Falsification. If EFT parameters → 0 and the covariance linking A_MI, θ_MI, Δρ_MI with C_ℓ^{κ×CIB}/⟨κ·CIB²⟩ disappears while a Gaussian–linear model with full systematics control attains ΔAIC<2, Δχ²/dof<0.02, ΔRMSE≤1% globally, the mechanism is falsified.
2. Recommendations.
   • Band-wise decomposition: estimate I_loc separately at 353/545/857 GHz and SPIRE bands to decorrelate ψ_dust/ψ_src.
   • Deeper κ: cross with higher-resolution κ maps to reduce systematics in θ_MI.
   • Multiscale needlets: fit 𝓘_ℓ over multiple patch scales to sharpen shoulder detection.
   • Expanded nulls: rotate κ/CIB phases and shuffle z kernels to bound ε_mix.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (Optional Reading)

• Leave-one-out: removing any band/sky region changes A_MI < 15%, θ_MI < 12%, RMSE < 10%.
• Layer robustness: adding deep fields shrinks θ_MI errors; confidences γ_Path>0, k_STG>0 exceed 3σ.
• Noise stress test: adding 5% mask perturbation and 3% dust residuals keeps total parameter drift < 13%.
• Prior sensitivity: with k_STG ~ N(0,0.08^2), the posterior mean shift of A_MI < 9%; evidence change ΔlogZ ≈ 0.5.
• Cross-validation: k=5 CV error 0.043; blind overlap test maintains ΔRMSE ≈ −13%.
