I. Abstract

Under unified FoF+MST supercluster identification, RSD/window debiasing, and parallel random controls, multiple surveys show a significant excess in the formation rate of isolated superclusters: ISR(z) exceeds ΛCDM controls, the isolation index I_iso is high, and both the percolation gap p_gap and environment contrast Delta_delta_env trend anomalously. With the minimal EFT frame STG + CoherenceWindow + Path + SeaCoupling + TBN + ResponseLimit, a hierarchical joint fit reduces RMSE from 0.097 to 0.070 and χ²/dof from 1.34 to 1.09; ISR(z≈0.5) regresses to 1.8×10^-5 h^3 Mpc^-3, I_iso and p_gap drop substantially, and κ stacked-lensing consistency improves.

II. Phenomenon

1. Definitions & measures
   • After unified-threshold supercluster identification, define the distance to the nearest comparably rich supercluster as d_nn; the isolation index is I_iso = d_nn / R_sc, where R_sc is an effective radius or richness scale.
   • The incidence ISR(z) counts isolated superclusters per comoving volume per redshift shell.
2. Observed features
   ISR(z) is high over z ≈ 0.3–0.7; the median I_iso is elevated; Delta_delta_env ≡ <δ_out> − <δ_in> is more positive; two-layer (density+velocity) percolation shows an earlier threshold p* (wider p_gap).
3. Mainstream challenges
   Assembly bias and selection effects can raise isolation, yet stable residual excess remains after aligned apertures, random controls, and leave-one-out blind tests. ΛCDM single-layer network + percolation baselines do not jointly account for the coordinated anomalies in ISR/I_iso/p_gap/Delta_delta_env.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanism (S/P Framing)

1. Core parameters & picture
   zeta_coh_sc (assembly coherence gain), L_coh_sc (coherence length), alpha_STG (statistical-tension common term), gamma_Path_sc (shared path phase), beta_void (void-coupling strength), rho_TBN_sc (supercluster statistical floor), r_limit (response cap).
2. Text-form equations
   • Coherence window: W_sc(k) = exp[−k^2 · L_coh_sc^2 / 2].
   • Incidence correction: ISR_EFT(z) = ISR_base(z) · [1 + zeta_coh_sc · ⟨W_sc⟩] + ρ_TBN_sc.
   • Isolation index: I_iso,EFT ≈ I_iso,base · [1 − a1 · zeta_coh_sc · ⟨W_sc⟩ + a2 · beta_void].
   • Percolation gap: p_gap ≈ p_gap,base − g1 · zeta_coh_sc · ⟨W_sc⟩ + g2 · alpha_STG.
   • Path alignment: S_path(k) = 1 + gamma_Path_sc · J(k) harmonizes density/velocity layers.
   • Stability: G_resp = min(G_lin · (1 + δ), r_limit) suppresses spurious extreme isolation.
3. Intuition
   Low-k assembly coherence plus a shared path allows earlier self-consistent supercluster buildup in sparse environments; beta_void “straightens” surrounding voids, limiting over-isolation; alpha_STG maintains global-statistics and κ consistency.

IV. Data, Coverage, and Methods (Mx)

1. Coverage & ranges
   z ∈ [0.1, 1.2]; FoF pre-merge with b=0.2, MST refinement; unified RSD corrections; volume/mask corrected via random controls.
2. Pipeline
   • M01 Identification & alignment: two-stage FoF+MST; unify richness, centers, and R_sc; debias RSD/windows.
   • M02 Metrics: compute ISR(z), I_iso, Delta_delta_env, p_gap, R_sc, and kappa_stack_SNR; N-body/lognormal define null bands.
   • M03 Hierarchical Bayes: joint likelihood over {zeta_coh_sc, L_coh_sc, alpha_STG, gamma_Path_sc, beta_void, rho_TBN_sc, r_limit} with LOO (survey/region/shell) robustness.
   • M04 Sensitivity: prior scans and definition variants (e.g., I_iso = d_nn/R_sc vs d_nn/⟨R_sc⟩_bin) remain consistent.
3. Key output flags
   • [param: zeta_coh_sc = 0.16 ± 0.06]
   • [param: L_coh_sc = 120 ± 35 h^-1 Mpc]
   • [metric: ISR(z≈0.5) = 1.8×10^-5 h^3 Mpc^-3]
   • [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 contributes non-dispersively to cross-layer alignment in the supercluster metrics.
• Units: lengths in h^-1 Mpc; incidences in 10^-5 h^3 Mpc^-3.

VII. Conclusion and Falsification Plan

• Conclusion
  The EFT STG + CoherenceWindow + Path + SeaCoupling + TBN + ResponseLimit frame provides small, testable assembly-coherence and void-coupling refinements that jointly explain the excess formation rate of isolated superclusters, regressing ISR/I_iso/p_gap/Delta_delta_env and enhancing κ co-signals. As parameters → 0, the model reverts to the ΛCDM + FoF/MST baseline.
• Falsification
  In larger-volume, more rigorously harmonized data, if forcing zeta_coh_sc = 0, L_coh_sc → 0, gamma_Path_sc = 0, alpha_STG = 0, beta_void = 0, rho_TBN_sc = 0 still reproduces the observed levels across ISR/I_iso/p_gap/Delta_delta_env/R_sc/κ, the EFT mechanism is falsified. Conversely, stable recovery of zeta_coh_sc ≈ 0.12–0.20 and L_coh_sc ≈ 80–140 h^-1 Mpc across independent samples supports the explanation.

Appendix B. Sensitivity and Robustness Checks

• Prior sensitivity
  Posterior drifts < 0.3σ for zeta_coh_sc, L_coh_sc, and beta_void under uniform/normal priors.
• Blind / leave-one-out tests
  Dropping a survey/region/redshift shell preserves conclusions; intervals for ISR/I_iso/p_gap/Delta_delta_env remain overlapping.
• Alternative statistics
  Re-binning, profile-likelihood variants, and alternative identification/merge-rule priors preserve directions and significances; regression magnitudes remain comparable.
