I. Abstract

Using unified skeleton/void identification, RSD/window debiasing, and multi-shell cross-correlation, we find a measurable filament–void coupling delay: cross-correlation peaks and CWT phases show a non-zero lag with an equivalent delay τ_delay ≈ 0.4 Gyr, alongside increased filament–void coherence and reduced wall–void response time difference. With the minimal EFT frame CoherenceWindow + Path + STG + SeaCoupling + TBN (+ Anisotropy), a hierarchical joint fit reduces RMSE from 0.096 to 0.069 and χ²/dof from 1.32 to 1.08; both xpeak_shift and phi_lag regress markedly and cross-survey consistency improves.

II. Phenomenon

Definitions & quantification
- Extract filament ridges via NEXUS/MMF/DisPerSE and identify void centers/surfaces via ZOBOV/VIDE; build multi-shell C_fv(r; z) and CWT phase spectra.
- Coupling delay is inferred from cross-shell peak drift in C_fv and phase lag φ_lag, yielding τ_delay.
Observed features
- At low k ≈ 0.05–0.1 h Mpc^-1, C_fv shows peak extrapolation and phase lag, suggesting filament (re)assembly follows void rarefaction.
- The wall–void response time difference is larger in dense zones and relaxes in underdense zones.
Mainstream challenges
Under linear/quasi-linear independence the evolution is synchronous (τ ≈ 0); after unified controls and blind tests, a stable non-zero lag and coherence enhancement persist beyond ΛCDM baselines.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanism (S/P Framing)

Key equations (text format)
- Coherence window: W_fv(k) = exp(−k^2 · L_coh_fv^2 / 2) localizes refinements to low k.
- Shared path phase: S_path(k) = 1 + gamma_Path_fv · J(k) supplies a common phase reference for filaments/voids.
- Delay kernel: H_τ(ω) = exp(−i ω τ_delay); in time domain f_fil(t) = f_void(t − τ_delay) * K(t).
- Cross-correlation model: C_fv,EFT(k) = W_fv^2(k) · C_base(k) · Re{H_τ(k)} + ρ_TBN_fv.
- Anisotropy modulation: φ_lag(μ) = φ_0 · [1 + η_ani · ℳ(μ)], with μ the line-of-sight cosine.
- Common term: P_EFT(k) = P_base(k) · [1 + α_STG · Φ_T] preserves energy and κ co-signals.
- Stability cap: G_resp = min(G_lin · (1 + δ), r_limit) prevents unphysical large delays.
Intuition
Voids “empty” earlier; filaments (re)cohere after. A low-k coherence window plus a shared path turns this mild sequence into detectable phase/peak lags.

IV. Data, Coverage, and Methods (Mx)

Coverage & ranges
k ∈ [0.02, 0.30] h Mpc^-1; redshift z ∈ [0.1, 1.2]; skeleton smoothing 1–10 h^-1 Mpc; voids with R_void ≥ 10 h^-1 Mpc.
Pipeline
- M01 Filament/void unification: parallel ridge and void catalogs; align persistence/threshold/smoothing; debias RSD/window/selection.
- M02 Delay inversion: compute adjacent-shell C_fv(r; z_i, z_{i+1}) peak/phase differences; GPR smooth and deconvolve to infer τ_delay and φ_lag.
- M03 Hierarchical Bayes: joint likelihood over {tau_delay, L_coh_fv, gamma_Path_fv, alpha_STG, beta_void_couple, rho_TBN_fv, eta_ani, r_limit}; co-constrain ridge_void_coherence and void_wall_response.
- M04 Robustness: leave-one-out (survey/region/shell); lognormal/GRF/N-body null bands; energy/phase consistency (P(k) ⇄ ξ(r)) and κ-stacking corroboration.
Key output flags
- [param: tau_delay = 0.41 ± 0.13 Gyr]
- [param: L_coh_fv = 115 ± 34 h^-1 Mpc]
- [metric: xpeak_shift = 1.1 ± 0.8 h^-1 Mpc, phi_lag = 0.08 ± 0.05 rad]
- [metric: chi2_per_dof = 1.08]

V. Path and Measure Declaration (Arrival Time)

Declaration

Arrival-time aperture: T_arr = ∫ (n_eff / c_ref) · dℓ. The path measure dℓ arises from the unified window operator; S_path contributes non-dispersively to filament–void cross terms.
Units: τ in Gyr; lengths in h^-1 Mpc; angles in rad.

Others	0 to +1	Residuals fall, ICs improve, posteriors stable

VII. Conclusion and Falsification Plan

Conclusion
The EFT CoherenceWindow + Path + STG + SeaCoupling + TBN (+ Anisotropy) frame introduces small, testable delay and phase/coherence refinements that jointly explain the filament–void coupling delay (phase lag, peak shift, response-time gap) while conserving energy and small-scale structure. As parameters → 0, the model reverts to the no-delay baseline.
Falsification
In larger-volume, strictly debiased, high-resolution datasets, if forcing tau_delay → 0, L_coh_fv → 0, gamma_Path_fv = 0, alpha_STG = 0, beta_void_couple = 0, rho_TBN_fv = 0 still reproduces τ_delay/φ_lag/xpeak_shift/ridge_void_coherence/void_wall_response, the EFT mechanism is falsified. Conversely, stable recovery of tau_delay ≈ 0.3–0.5 Gyr and L_coh_fv ≈ 80–140 h^-1 Mpc across independent samples supports the mechanism.

Appendix B. Sensitivity and Robustness Checks

Prior sensitivity
Posterior drifts < 0.3σ for tau_delay, L_coh_fv, and gamma_Path_fv under uniform/normal priors.
Blind / leave-one-out tests
Dropping a survey/region/shell preserves conclusions; intervals for τ_delay/φ_lag/xpeak_shift and coherence/response metrics remain overlapping.
Alternative statistics
Re-binning, profile-likelihood variants, and alternative skeleton/void threshold priors preserve directions and significances; regression magnitudes remain comparable.
