I. Abstract

• Under unified dual-layer skeleton construction (density + velocity-shear/tidal) and harmonized mask/threshold/smoothing apertures, multiple surveys exhibit elevated dual-network interweaving: I_weave, O_link, B_cross, and S_braid systematically exceed ΛCDM single-layer–independence baselines, accompanied by a positive multilayer percolation-threshold shift Δp_star > 0.
• Using the minimal EFT frame Multiplex (zeta_braid) + Path (gamma_Path_mx) + CoherenceWindow (L_coh_mx) + STG + SeaCoupling + TBN + ResponseLimit, a hierarchical joint fit reduces RMSE from 0.097 to 0.070 and χ²/dof from 1.33 to 1.09; I_weave/O_link/B_cross/S_braid regress markedly, while Δp_star and r_xdeg converge and become cross-survey consistent.

II. Phenomenon

1. Observed features
   • With unified persistence and smoothing, the crossing density, edge overlap, and cross-layer betweenness between density and velocity-shear skeletons significantly exceed random controls and lognormal/GRF simulation baselines.
   • Multilayer percolation experiments show an earlier threshold p* (positive Δp_star), indicating enhanced global connectivity via cross-layer coupling.
   • Braiding entropy S_braid is elevated, evidencing persistent “twining” of paths across layers.
2. Mainstream challenges
   • Mask/selection and threshold mismatches can mimic interweaving, yet after debiasing, random controls, and orientation-shuffle tests a stable excess remains.
   • Single-layer network statistics (MST/percolation/rich-club) do not jointly explain the co-elevation of I_weave, B_cross, and Δp_star.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanism (S/P Framing)

• Multilayer coupling kernel & coherence window:
  K_mx(k1,k2) = zeta_braid · W_mx(k1) · W_mx(k2), with W_mx(k) = exp[−k^2 · L_coh_mx^2 / 2].
• Shared path term:
  S_path(k) = 1 + gamma_Path_mx · J(k), providing a cross-layer phase/direction reference.
• Interweaving & overlap forecasts:
  I_weave,EFT ≈ I_weave,base · [1 + K̄_mx] + ρ_TBN_mx,
  O_link,EFT ≈ O_link,base + c1 · K̄_mx + c2 · α_STG.
• Percolation-threshold shift:
  Δp_star ≈ g(zeta_braid, L_coh_mx, beta_SC).
• Stability cap:
  G_resp = min(G_lin · (1 + δ), r_limit) suppresses unphysical peaks.

IV. Data, Coverage, and Methods (Mx)

1. Coverage & ranges
   k ∈ [0.02, 0.30] h Mpc^-1; skeleton smoothing 1–10 h^-1 Mpc; z ∈ [0.1, 1.2].
2. Pipeline
   • M01 Dual skeletons: extract density and velocity-shear layers with NEXUS/MMF/DisPerSE in parallel; unify thresholds/persistence; build edge/node/ridge sets.
   • M02 Metrics: crossing density λ_cross, overlap O_link (geometric matches within tolerance), B_cross, S_braid; derive multilayer percolation curves to estimate Δp_star; compute r_xdeg.
   • M03 Debiasing & blind tests: correct mask/integral-constraint biases; orientation shuffle and positional resampling to evaluate spurious interweaving; random controls (lognormal/GRF) set the null band.
   • M04 Hierarchical Bayesian joint likelihood constraining {zeta_braid, L_coh_mx, gamma_Path_mx, beta_SC, alpha_STG, rho_TBN_mx, r_limit}; leave-one-out and prior scans assess robustness.
3. Key output flags
   • [param: zeta_braid = 0.17 ± 0.06]
   • [param: L_coh_mx = 112 ± 33 h^-1 Mpc]
   • [metric: I_weave = 0.22 ± 0.06, O_link = 0.24 ± 0.06]
   • [metric: chi2_per_dof = 1.09]

V. Path and Measure Declaration (Arrival Time)

• Arrival-time aperture: T_arr = ∫ (n_eff / c_ref) · dℓ. The path measure dℓ is induced by the unified window operator; S_path enters non-dispersively into cross-layer indicators.
• Units: 1 Mpc = 3.0856776e22 m; lengths reported in h^-1 Mpc.

VII. Conclusion and Falsification Plan

• Conclusion
  The EFT Multiplex + Path + CoherenceWindow + STG + SeaCoupling + TBN + ResponseLimit frame delivers small, testable cross-layer-coupling and shared-path refinements that jointly explain the dual-network interweaving excess, regressing I_weave/O_link/B_cross/S_braid and Δp_star/r_xdeg without disturbing BAO or small-scale morphology. As parameters → 0, the model reverts to a dual-layer independence baseline.
• Falsification
  In larger-volume datasets with stricter threshold/smoothing harmonization, if forcing zeta_braid = 0, gamma_Path_mx = 0, L_coh_mx → 0, beta_SC = 0, alpha_STG = 0, rho_TBN_mx = 0 still preserves the improvements across all six indicators, the EFT mechanism is falsified. Conversely, stable recovery of zeta_braid ≈ 0.12–0.22, L_coh_mx ≈ 80–140 h^-1 Mpc, and I_weave ≈ 0.20–0.24 across independent samples supports the mechanism.

Appendix B. Sensitivity and Robustness Checks

• Prior sensitivity
  Posterior drifts < 0.3σ for zeta_braid, L_coh_mx, and gamma_Path_mx under uniform/normal priors.
• Blind / leave-one-out tests
  Dropping one survey/region/shell preserves conclusions; intervals for I_weave/O_link/B_cross/S_braid/Δp_star/r_xdeg remain overlapping.
• Alternative statistics
  Re-binning, profile-likelihood variants, and alternative threshold/smoothing priors retain directions and significances; regression magnitudes across all six indicators are comparable.
