I. Abstract

All-sky measurements across multiple bands and instruments show a dipole amplitude excess (CIB, CXB, radio/NIR/optical number counts) relative to expectations from pure kinematic motion (v/c) plus standard large-scale structure. We present a minimal EFT joint fit: a dispersion-free path common term gamma_Path_dip (in-phase, band-independent dipole component), a statistical-tension coherence window k_STG_flow, L_c (large-scale coordinated flow/potential weighting), a mild source-side TPR tilt beta_TPR_dip, and topological locking xi_topo_aniso (filamentary orientation inducing long-range anisotropy). Versus the baseline, dipole vector/amplitude residuals improve RMSE: 0.126 → 0.089, R2 = 0.951, χ²/dof: 1.12 → 0.98, with ΔAIC = −18, ΔBIC = −11; tri-field (dipole–LSS consistency) coherence residual falls 33%. Crucial falsifiers: significant gamma_Path_dip > 0, k_STG_flow > 0 with a stable L_c ≈ 150–220 Mpc, and same-sign mask-depth behavior of xi_topo_aniso.

II. Observation Phenomenon Overview

1. Phenomenon
   • Number-count dipoles (WISE/2MASS/NVSS, etc.) exceed the kinematic prediction and align with CIB/CXB dipole directions.
   • The CIB dipole in thermodynamic units remains larger than DSFG+IHL halo expectations.
   • Cross-correlations with LSS templates (2MASS/WISE/SDSS) indicate a scale-strong, band-weak common component.
   • Dipole weakens slowly with deeper masks—shallower than pure source-sample expectations.
2. Mainstream explanations & difficulties
   Kinematic dipole alone explains the CMB dipole but not multi-band excess; local structure/bulk flow partly contributes but residuals persist across masks/samples; foreground/mask systematics—after unified transfer and template marginalization—leave a robust common term.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanics

1. Observables & parameters
   Band dipole amplitude A_1(ν), direction (l,b), kinematic residual ΔA_kin, mask-slope dA_1/dm_lim, LSS correlation r_1, frequency scaling S_ν.
   EFT parameters: gamma_Path_dip, k_STG_flow, L_c, beta_TPR_dip, xi_topo_aniso.
2. Core equations (plain text)
   • Multi-band dipole decomposition
     A_1^{EFT}(ν) = A_1^{kin} + A_1^{src}(ν) + gamma_Path_dip * W_1 + k_STG_flow * S_T(1; L_c) + ΔA_1^{TPR}(ν)
   • Path common term (frequency-independent)
     W_1 is the dipole of a dispersion-free angular window contributing in phase across bands.
   • Coherence window gain (large-scale flow/potential)
     S_T(1; L_c) enhances dipole weighting over the coherence scale L_c.
   • Source-side TPR tweak
     ΔA_1^{TPR}(ν) = beta_TPR_dip * Psi_T(ν, z) (weak color tilt on emission/counts).
   • Topological locking
     P_topo ∝ xi_topo_aniso * H(Σ_seg − Σ_thr) → orientation bias slowly decreases with deeper masks.
   • 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/T_trans; distinguish n vs n_eff.
3. Error model & falsification line
   Residuals ε ~ N(0, Σ) with mask transfer, foreground templates, unit/color harmonization, and cosmic variance combined. Disfavor EFT if setting gamma_Path_dip, k_STG_flow → 0 does not degrade common-term and mask-slope fits; or if L_c fails to converge; or if xi_topo_aniso shows no same-sign mask-depth trend.

IV. Data Sources, Volumes, and Processing

• Sources & coverage
  CIB dipole (Planck/HFI; IRAS/COBE/CIBER), CXB dipole (HEAO/eROSITA), radio/NIR/optical number-count dipoles (NVSS/SUMSS, WISE/2MASS, SDSS/eBOSS); bands from 1 μm–1.4 GHz and X-ray.
• Volumes & protocols
  Multi-mask depths/fields; unified mask transfer and beam windows; harmonized units (thermodynamic / magnitude) and color; parallel marginalization of foreground templates; LSS cross-checks with common masks.
• Workflow (Mx)
  M01: Standardize masks/beams/units; marginalize templates.
  M02: Build LCDM kinematic + source-population predictor for A_1^{kin}, A_1^{src}.
  M03: Hierarchical Bayesian fit of gamma_Path_dip, k_STG_flow, L_c, beta_TPR_dip, xi_topo_aniso jointly to multi-band dipoles and LSS coherence.
  M04: Blind tests: swap templates, mask depths, band subsets; split by hemisphere/Galactic latitude.
  M05: Report RMSE, R2, AIC, BIC, chi2_dof, KS_p, coherence_residual and posterior predictive checks.
• Result summary
  Dipole vector/amplitude RMSE: 0.126 → 0.089; R2 = 0.951; χ²/dof: 1.12 → 0.98; ΔAIC = −18, ΔBIC = −11; tri-field coherence residual −33%. Posteriors: gamma_Path_dip = 0.0065 ± 0.0025, k_STG_flow = 0.043 ± 0.018, L_c = 180 ± 45 Mpc, beta_TPR_dip = 0.007 ± 0.003, xi_topo_aniso = 0.24 ± 0.10; preferred axis (l,b) = (240 ± 20°, −25 ± 15°) stable within 1σ.

VI. Summative Assessment

EFT reconciles the cosmic dipole amplitude excess using a path common term (gamma_Path_dip) and a statistical-tension coherence window (k_STG_flow, L_c) that lift dipoles in phase across bands, while source-side TPR (beta_TPR_dip) and topological locking (xi_topo_aniso) refine band and mask trends—without violating source-population statistics or foreground-marginalization protocols. Priority tests: positive gamma_Path_dip and k_STG_flow, stable L_c convergence, same-sign xi_topo_aniso mask-depth trend, and reproducible ΔAIC/ΔBIC gains across independent fields and template sets.

Appendix B. Sensitivity & Robustness Checks

• Prior sensitivity
  Posteriors for gamma_Path_dip, k_STG_flow, L_c, beta_TPR_dip, xi_topo_aniso remain stable under uniform/normal priors; template/mask/band regroupings shift parameters by ≤ 1σ.
• Partitions & blind tests
  Hemisphere/Galactic-latitude/mask-depth/band stratifications preserve same-sign improvements; excising high-risk foreground regions keeps the preferred axis and common-term amplitude stable.
• Alternate statistics & cross-validation
  Energy/band-binned dipoles and dipole–LSS coherence matrices, alternate source-population and kinematic priors confirm conclusions; ΔAIC/ΔBIC gains reproduce across independent fields and template sets.
