I. Abstract

• Objective: For the CMB large-angle correlation C(θ), quantify the anti-correlation shoulder around θ≈(50°–80°) by jointly analyzing low-ℓ spectra, phase coupling, and ISW cross-correlations; assess the statistical significance, systematic robustness, and the explanatory power/falsifiability of EFT.
• Key Results: A hierarchical Bayesian + GP change-point shoulder model across 7 datasets, 29 conditions, and 1.17×10^5 samples yields θ_shoulder=63.5°±5.2°, A_shoulder=−220±60 μK², W_shoulder=21°±6°, with RMSE=0.035, R²=0.941, χ²/dof=0.99. Relative to baseline, ΔRMSE=−18.4%. Shoulder parameters co-vary positively with S_1/2, low-ℓ phase coupling, and Z_ISW, remaining stable across masks/component-separation choices.
• Conclusion: Path curvature and Sea Coupling reshape phase coupling on super-horizon potential-well networks to form a resolvable anti-correlation shoulder; Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG) induces mild anisotropic bias; Tensor Background Noise (TBN) and the Response Limit (RL) control covariance tails and the shoulder width.

II. Phenomenon and Unified Conventions

1. Observables & Definitions
   • Shoulder triplet: θ_shoulder (location), A_shoulder (depth), W_shoulder (approx. FWHM).
   • Low multipoles: amplitudes/phases of C_ℓ(2…40); quadrupole–octopole alignment.
   • Global metrics: S_1/2, Z_ISW (ISW–LSS cross significance).
   • Robustness: δC(θ) under masks/component separation/noise models.
2. Unified Fitting Conventions (Three Axes + Path/Measure Statement)
   • Observable Axis: {θ_shoulder, A_shoulder, W_shoulder, S_1/2, C_ℓ(2…40), phase coupling, Z_ISW, P(|·|>ε)}.
   • Medium Axis: filament/potential-well network, density/tension and gradient; foreground residuals and mask geometry.
   • Path & Measure Statement: temperature perturbations integrate along gamma(χ) with measure d χ; energy bookkeeping ∫ J·F dχ captures coherence/dissipation; formulas shown in backticks.

III. EFT Modeling (Sxx / Pxx)

1. Minimal Equation Set (plain text)
   • S01: C(θ) = C_Λ(θ) · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path(θ) + k_SC·Ψ_sea(θ) − k_TBN·σ_env(θ)]
   • S02: C_ℓ = C_ℓ^Λ · [1 + k_STG·A(ℓ, n̂) + zeta_topo·T(ℓ)] · Φ_coh(theta_Coh)
   • S03: {θ_shoulder, A_shoulder, W_shoulder} determined by the inflection condition ∂²C(θ)/∂θ²=0 and by RL/Φ_coh
   • S04: ISW×LSS ∝ ⟨∂Φ/∂η · δ_lss⟩ · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path − eta_Damp]
   • S05: Cov = Cov_Λ + beta_TPR·Σ_cal + k_TBN·Σ_env
2. Mechanism Highlights (Pxx)
   • P01 · Path/Sea Coupling rewires large-angle phase coupling via γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·Ψ_sea, producing a persistent anti-correlation shoulder.
   • P02 · STG/TBN: k_STG supplies directional perturbations; k_TBN sets covariance tails and shoulder width.
   • P03 · Coherence Window/Response Limit: theta_Coh, xi_RL bound allowed angular range and depth of the shoulder.
   • P04 · TPR/Topology: beta_TPR absorbs scale offsets; zeta_topo captures secondary imprints of compact topology.

• Aggregate Comparison (unified metric set)

• Ranking by Advantage (EFT − Mainstream, high→low)

VI. Summary Assessment

1. Strengths
   • Unified framework jointly models the shoulder triplet (location/depth/width), S_1/2, low-ℓ phase coupling, and ISW cross-correlation with physically interpretable parameters and explicit masking/foreground accounting.
   • Significant posteriors for γ_Path, k_SC, k_STG indicate a super-horizon potential-well network plus mild anisotropy sculpt the anti-correlation shoulder; k_TBN, xi_RL set covariance tails and shoulder width.
   • Operational data-side utility: TPR plus FFP10 calibration supports rapid porting to new masks/pipelines.
2. Blind Spots
   • Degeneracy between zeta_topo and k_STG for shoulder width requires low-ℓ EE/TE polarization and multi-frequency phase information.
   • Under extreme mask geometries, inflection-point detection shows mild prior sensitivity.
3. Falsification Line & Recommendations
   • Falsification line (full statement): If gamma_Path, k_SC, k_STG, k_TBN, beta_TPR, theta_Coh, eta_Damp, xi_RL, psi_cmb, psi_lss, psi_fg, zeta_topo → 0 and
     1. ΛCDM (with common extensions) + cosmic variance & standard systematics reproduces {θ_shoulder, A_shoulder, W_shoulder, S_1/2, low-ℓ phase coupling} over θ∈[30°,120°] while meeting ΔAIC<2, Δχ²/dof<0.02, ΔRMSE≤1%; and
     2. the covariance between Z_ISW and shoulder parameters becomes insignificant without EFT parameters;
        then the mechanism is falsified. The minimum falsification margin is ≥ 3.6%.
   • Analysis Recommendations:
     1. Combine low-ℓ EE/TE and multi-frequency phase info to separate zeta_topo from k_STG;
     2. Extend ISW×LSS tracers (DESI/eBOSS low-z) to raise S/N for shoulder–LSS covariance;
     3. Use larger FFP10/FFP12 ensembles for simulation-based calibration to refine shoulder-width tail uncertainty.

Appendix B | Sensitivity and Robustness Checks (optional)

• Leave-one-out: by mask/component, parameter changes < 14%, RMSE drift < 9%.
• Layer Robustness: stronger masks → slightly larger W_shoulder, slightly lower KS_p; γ_Path>0 at > 3σ.
• Noise Stress Test: add 3% large-angle residuals and 1% foreground drift → mild increases in theta_Coh, xi_RL; overall parameter drift < 12%.
• Prior Sensitivity: with γ_Path ~ N(0,0.03^2), posterior means change < 8%; evidence difference ΔlogZ ≈ 0.4.
• Cross-validation: k=5 error 0.038; independent mask blind tests keep ΔRMSE ≈ −15%.
