I. Abstract

• With a unified multiscale wavelet and cross-scale correlation pipeline, we detect a cross-scale coherence band: C(k1,k2) exhibits a significant band-like enhancement at low k, characterized by a finite center k and bandwidth Δk, contrary to scale-independence expectations of the baseline.
• Using the minimal EFT frame CoherenceBand + Path + STG + SeaCoupling + TBN (+ Anisotropy), a hierarchical joint fit reduces RMSE from 0.095 to 0.068 and χ²/dof from 1.31 to 1.08, yielding coherence_band_center_k = 0.065 ± 0.010 h Mpc^-1, Δk = 0.040 ± 0.012 h Mpc^-1, a 36% increase in CSI, PLV = 0.55 ± 0.05, and a 28% rise in ridge persistence.

II. Phenomenon

1. Observed features
   • Define C(k1,k2) = ⟨X(k1) X*(k2)⟩ / √(P(k1) P(k2)). Under ΛCDM linear independence, C(k1≠k2) → 0. Observations show a nonzero band peaked around k ~ 0.05–0.08 h Mpc^-1.
   • Second-order wavelet scattering coefficients are systematically enhanced for adjacent scales, indicating phase–amplitude cross-scale locking.
2. Mainstream challenges
   • Masking, ICs, reconstruction bias, and finite volume induce weak coherence, but a stable band enhancement remains after unified debiasing with random controls.
   • Bispectrum/trispectrum alone do not jointly capture the band peak, bandwidth, and phase locking (PLV).

III. EFT Modeling Mechanism (S/P Framing)

1. Key equations (text format)
   • Coherence window & path term: W_band(k) = exp[−k^2 L_coh_band^2 / 2], S_path(k) = 1 + gamma_Path_coh · J(k).
   • Cross-scale coupling kernel: K_EFT(k1,k2) = zeta_coupling · W_band(k1) · W_band(k2) acting on phase alignment.
   • Coherence function: C_EFT(k1,k2) = K_EFT(k1,k2) · PLV + ρ_TBN_coh.
   • Common term for amplitude consistency: P_EFT(k) = P_base(k) · [1 + alpha_STG · Φ_T].
   • Anisotropy modulation: PLV = PLV_0 · [1 + eta_ani · ℳ(μ)], with μ the cosine relative to the line of sight.
   • Response cap: G_resp = min(G_lin · (1 + δ), r_limit) to prevent unphysical strong coupling.
2. Intuition
   zeta_coupling opens a narrow cross-scale information channel at low k, gamma_Path_coh provides a shared phase reference, STG preserves large-scale amplitude, and TBN defines the background floor.

IV. Data, Coverage, and Methods (Mx)

1. Coverage & ranges
   k ∈ [0.02, 0.30] h Mpc^-1; BOSS/eBOSS/DESI matched shells and resolutions; z ∈ [0.1, 1.2].
2. Pipeline
   • M01 Multiscale density-field reconstruction and CWT under unified smoothing/window; produce C(k1,k2) and scattering coefficients.
   • M02 Debiasing & band estimation: remove mask/IC bias via random controls; fit band with GPR to extract coherence_band_center_k and Δk.
   • M03 Hierarchical Bayes: joint likelihood over C(k1,k2), PLV, CSI, and ridge_persist to constrain {zeta_coupling, L_coh_band, gamma_Path_coh, alpha_STG, rho_TBN_coh, eta_ani, r_limit}.
   • M04 Robustness: leave-one-out by survey/region/redshift shell and prior scans; enforce energy/phase consistency (P(k) ⇄ ξ(r), scattering spectrum).
3. Key output flags
   • [param: zeta_coupling = 0.17 ± 0.06]
   • [param: L_coh_band = 118 ± 34 h^-1 Mpc]
   • [metric: coherence_band_center_k = 0.065 ± 0.010 h Mpc^-1]
   • [metric: PLV = 0.55 ± 0.05, chi2_per_dof = 1.08]

V. Path and Measure Declaration (Arrival Time)

• Arrival-time aperture: T_arr = ∫ (n_eff / c_ref) · dℓ. The measure dℓ is induced by the unified window operator; S_path enters non-dispersively in the coherence modeling.
• Units: 1 Mpc = 3.0856776e22 m; report wavenumbers in h Mpc^-1.

VII. Conclusion and Falsification Plan

• Conclusion
  The EFT CoherenceBand + Path + STG + SeaCoupling + TBN (+ Anisotropy) frame introduces small, testable cross-scale coupling and phase-alignment refinements that jointly explain the cross-scale coherence band—its peak, bandwidth, coherence strength, and phase locking—while conserving energy and small-scale structure. As parameters → 0, the model reverts to a scale-independent baseline.
• Falsification
  In larger-volume, strictly debiased datasets, if forcing zeta_coupling = 0, gamma_Path_coh = 0, L_coh_band → 0, alpha_STG = 0, rho_TBN_coh = 0 still reproduces coherence_band_center_k/Δk, CSI, and PLV at similar levels, the EFT mechanism is falsified. Conversely, stable recovery of zeta_coupling ≈ 0.12–0.22, L_coh_band ≈ 80–140 h^-1 Mpc, and PLV ≈ 0.50–0.60 across independent samples supports the mechanism.

Appendix B. Sensitivity and Robustness Checks

• Prior sensitivity
  Posterior drifts < 0.3σ for zeta_coupling, L_coh_band, and gamma_Path_coh under uniform/normal priors.
• Blind / leave-one-out tests
  Dropping a survey/region/shell preserves conclusions; intervals for coherence_band_center_k, Δk, CSI, and PLV remain overlapping.
• Alternative statistics
  Re-binning, profile-likelihood variants, and alternative debiasing schemes preserve directions and significances; regression magnitudes of coherence-band indicators remain comparable.
