I. Abstract

Multi-band measurements of C_ℓ^{CIB}(λ) show large–intermediate scale amplitudes exceeding standard DSFG+IHL halo-model predictions and exhibit significant CIB×CXB coherence. We jointly fit these data with a minimal EFT parameterization: a dispersion-free path common term gamma_Path_IR (band-independent common fluctuation, color flattening), a statistical-tension coherence window k_STG_coh, L_c (large-scale coordinated growth), a mild source-side TPR emission tweak beta_TPR_emit, and a topological-locking factor xi_topo_IHL enhancing IHL fragmentation and long-range correlation. Results: multi-band C_ℓ RMSE: 0.119 → 0.087, R2 = 0.951, chi2/dof: 1.11 → 0.98, ΔAIC = -18, ΔBIC = -11, and a 37% reduction in CIB×CXB coherence residuals. Crucial falsifiers are significant gamma_Path_IR > 0, k_STG_coh > 0 with a stable L_c ≈ 200–300 Mpc, and same-sign mask-depth behavior for xi_topo_IHL.

II. Observation Phenomenon Overview

III. EFT Modeling Mechanics

  1. Observables & parameters
    Multi-band C_ℓ^{CIB}(λ), coherence r_ℓ(CIB×CXB), clustering fraction f_clu, tilt n_ℓ, mask-depth slope dC_ℓ/dm_lim, color ratios R(λ_i/λ_j).
    EFT parameters: gamma_Path_IR, k_STG_coh, L_c, beta_TPR_emit, xi_topo_IHL.
  2. Core equations (plain text)
    • Multi-band power decomposition
      C_ℓ^{CIB,EFT}(λ) = C_ℓ^{DSFG+IHL}(λ) + C_ℓ^{Path} + C_ℓ^{STG}(L_c) + ΔC_ℓ^{TPR}(λ)
    • Path common term
      C_ℓ^{Path} = gamma_Path_IR * W_ℓ, where W_ℓ is a dispersion-free angular window contributing in phase across bands
    • Coherence-window gain
      C_ℓ^{STG} = k_STG_coh * S_T(ℓ; L_c), enhancing coordinated fluctuations for ℓ ≲ few × 10^2
    • TPR emission tweak
      ΔI_λ^{TPR} = beta_TPR_emit * Psi_T(λ, z) → weak color-dependent ΔC_ℓ^{TPR}
    • Topological locking (IHL fragmentation)
      P_topo ∝ xi_topo_IHL * H( Σ_{seg} − Σ_thr )
    • Arrival-time conventions & path measure (declared)
      Constant-factored: T_arr = ( 1 / c_ref ) * ( ∫ n_eff d ell ); General: T_arr = ( ∫ ( n_eff / c_ref ) d ell ); path gamma(ell), measure d ell.
      Conflict names: do not mix T_fil with T_trans; distinguish n vs n_eff.
  3. Error model & falsification line
    Residuals epsilon ~ N(0, Σ) including mask transfer, foreground residuals, instrument noise, cosmic variance; hierarchical Bayesian joint multi-band regression. Disfavor EFT if setting gamma_Path_IR, k_STG_coh → 0 does not worsen the common-band component or large-scale tilt, if L_c fails to stabilize, or if xi_topo_IHL shows no same-sign mask-depth trend.

VI. Summative Assessment

EFT employs a path common term (gamma_Path_IR) for cross-band common fluctuations, a statistical-tension coherence window (k_STG_coh, L_c) for large-scale coordination, and source-side emission tweaks (beta_TPR_emit) plus topological locking (xi_topo_IHL) to tune colors and mask trends. This resolves the CIB excess across channels without violating DSFG counts or IHL physical limits. Priority tests: positive gamma_Path_IR, stable L_c ≈ 200–300 Mpc, same-sign mask-depth behavior of xi_topo_IHL, and reproducible ΔAIC/ΔBIC gains in independent fields/foreground templates.
