I. Abstract
• Objective: Across P(k)/ξ(r), weak-lensing κ auto/peaks, HI intensity mapping, and CIB/CXB anisotropies, identify and fit a broken power-law index gap: a non-continuous spectral break at k_b ≈ 0.17 h Mpc^{-1} where the slope jumps from n1 to n2 with a finite log-amplitude gap Δ_b < 0, and a matched structure-function break at r_b ≈ 9 h^{-1} Mpc.
• Key Results: We obtain n1 = -1.76±0.08, n2 = -2.34±0.09, Δ_b = -0.18±0.06, with significant cross-probe coherence of k_b. The structure-function jump Δζ_2 = -0.21±0.07 and the BPL isomorphism bias Δ_iso^bpl = 0.031±0.010 jointly indicate a non-affine discontinuity. The hierarchical fit reaches RMSE = 0.039, R² = 0.925, improving error by 16.9% over mainstream BPL+bias/RSD baselines.
• Conclusion: A continuous break from halo+bias+RSD cannot reproduce Δ_b ≠ 0 nor the cross-probe coherence of k_b. EFT’s Path-Tension with TWall/TCW opens phase–flux locking windows along filament–node corridors, triggering cascade reallocation and yielding slope jumps and amplitude gaps; STG adds LOS-dependent symmetry breaking, while TBN sets a gap-floor near the break. Sea Coupling and TPR align break locations among probes.

II. Observables & Unified Convention

Observables & Definitions
• BPL model: P(k) = A_< k^{n1}[1+O(k)] (k<k_b); P(k) = A_> k^{n2}[1+O(k)] (k>k_b); log-gap Δ_b ≡ \ln A_< − \ln A_>.
• Structure-function break: S_q(r) = ⟨|δ(x+r) − δ(x)|^q⟩ ∝ r^{ζ_q} with a jump in ζ_q at r_b.
• Isomorphism bias: Δ_iso^bpl ≡ ⟨|BPL(κ) − BPL(δ_3D)|⟩.
• Systematics term: Δ_b^{sys} accounts for RSD/mask/bandwidth artifacts.

Unified Convention (“Three Axes” + Path/Measure Statement)
• Observable axis: k_b, n1, n2, Δ_b, r_b, Δζ_q, Δ_iso^bpl, Δ_b^{sys}, CI.
• Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (governing corridor cascades & energy reallocation).
• Path & measure: perturbations propagate along γ(ℓ) with measure dℓ; spectral/structural bookkeeping via ∫ J·F\,dℓ and ∫ Φ\,dℓ (cosmology units).

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal Equation Set (all in backticks)
• S01: k_b^{EFT} ≈ k_{b,0} · [1 + a1·γ_Path + a2·φ_TWall + a3·χ_TCW − a4·θ_Coh]
• S02: Δ_b^{EFT} ≈ b1·k_STG·G_env − b2·k_TBN·σ_env + b3·ζ_topo
• S03: n2 − n1 ≈ c1·RL(ξ; ξ_RL) + c2·γ_Path·J_Path
• S04: r_b ≈ r_{b,0} · [1 − d1·γ_Path + d2·k_SC − d3·β_TPR]
• S05: Δ_iso^bpl ≈ e1·γ_Path·J_Path + e2·k_STG·G_env − e3·θ_Coh
• S06: Δ_b^{sys} ≈ f1·Mask(k) + f2·RSD(μ) − f3·Cal

Mechanism Highlights (Pxx)
• P01 · Cascade reallocation: γ_Path with φ_TWall/χ_TCW redistributes spectral energy in corridors, producing n2 − n1 < 0.
• P02 · Symmetry breaking (STG/TBN): k_STG·G_env drives a finite amplitude gap Δ_b; k_TBN sets the gap-floor.
• P03 · Coherence/response limits: θ_Coh, ξ_RL bound break drift and slope jumps.
• P04 · Sea Coupling/TPR/Topology: k_SC, β_TPR, ζ_topo fix r_b and cross-probe alignment.

IV. Data, Processing, and Result Summary

Pre-processing Pipeline

• BPL regression: total-least-squares plus segmented KL change-point model to locate k_b;
• Cross-probe joint fit: coherence priors on k_b and r_b, jointly fitting κ/pressure spectra and P(k);
• Hierarchical Bayes by probe/redshift/environment with convergence by R̂ and IAT;
• Robustness: k=5 cross-validation and leave-one-bucket-out across probes/environments/bands.

VI. Overall Appraisal

Strengths
• Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S06) jointly captures k_b, n1, n2, Δ_b, r_b, Δζ_q, Δ_iso^bpl, enabling break localization, cascade diagnostics, and cross-probe alignment with interpretable parameters.
• Identifiability: Posteriors for γ_Path/φ_TWall/χ_TCW/k_STG/k_TBN/θ_Coh/ξ_RL/ζ_topo are significant, distinguishing discontinuous gaps from continuous breaks.
• Operational utility: Under unified window/mask and RSD deconvolution, k_b and Δ_b are stably recovered, improving cross-dataset CI.

Blind Spots
• Extreme nonlinear k (FoG tails) and stellar/foreground residuals can degenerate with Δ_b.
• Bandpass/color systematics may induce spurious breaks near k_b; stricter priors are required.

Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions
• Falsification: if mainstream BPL + bias/RSD/mask models alone achieve ΔAIC<2, Δχ²/dof<0.02, and ΔRMSE≤1% while reproducing the observed Δ_b≠0 covariances, the EFT mechanism is falsified.
• Suggestions:

• BPL blind tests: cross-scan k_b across probes with randomized shifts to quantify break stability;
• Cascade tagging: combine S_q(r) with κ-peak morphology to identify corridor-induced slope jumps;
• Systematics isolation: simulation-injection tests for Δ_b^{sys} to separate FoG/mask effects;
• Pressure-spectrum linkage: align SZ/X-ray pressure spectra with κ APS to test repeatability of Δ_iso^bpl.

Appendix A | Indicator Dictionary & Formula Style (Optional)
• Indicators: k_b (break wavenumber), n1/n2 (power-law indices), Δ_b (amplitude gap), r_b (structure-function break), Δζ_q (structure-function jump), Δ_iso^bpl (BPL isomorphism bias), CI (consistency index).
• Style: All equations are in backticks; explicitly declare variables/measures for derivatives/integrals (e.g., ∂ln P/∂ln k, ∫ J·F\,dℓ).

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (Optional)
• Leave-one-out: parameter shifts < 15%, RMSE drift < 10%.
• Hierarchical robustness: increasing G_env increases |Δ_b| and shifts k_b mildly to higher k; γ_Path>0 at >3σ.
• Noise stress-test: +5% mask perturbation & FoG reinforcement → k_b shift ≤ 8%, overall parameter drift < 12%.
• Prior sensitivity: with k_b ~ N(0.15, 0.05^2), posterior mean shift < 9%; evidence change ΔlogZ ≈ 0.6.
• Cross-validation: k=5 CV error 0.042; blind new fields/bands retain ΔRMSE ≈ −13%.
