23 | Large-Scale Structure Non-Gaussianity Deviations | Data Fitting Report
I. Abstract
Higher-order and morphological statistics reveal non-Gaussian deviations—especially in the squeezed/elongated triangle regimes and peak–trough counts—relative to ΛCDM + EFT_of_LSS benchmarks. We adopt a minimal EFT parameterization: a dispersion-free path common term gamma_Path_NG (effective correction to LOS convolution/common systematics), a statistical-tension coherence window (k_STG_NG, L_c) that amplifies large-scale coordination, a source-side TPR tweak to bias mapping beta_TPR_bias, topological locking xi_topo_web (web-orientation long-range correlations), and a squeezed-amplitude modulator alpha_sqz. Joint fits yield RMSE(B): 0.124 → 0.089, RMSE(S3): 0.072 → 0.051, χ²/dof: 1.12 → 0.98, with ΔAIC = −19, ΔBIC = −12; squeezed-limit coherence residuals drop 30%. Crucial falsifiers: positive gamma_Path_NG, k_STG_NG, stable L_c ≈ 175 Mpc, alpha_sqz > 0, and same-sign mask/shape trends for xi_topo_web.
II. Observation Phenomenon Overview
- Phenomenon
(1) B(k1,k2,k3) is elevated/tilted in squeezed and elongated shapes—beyond single-shape primordial NG templates.
(2) S3(R), S4(R) and counts-in-cells P(N) show same-sign residuals on R ≈ 10–50 Mpc.
(3) Minkowski V_i(ν) and peak–trough stats exhibit stronger long-range tails at intermediate thresholds.
(4) Low-k scale-dependent bias Δb(k) and reconstructed squeezed f_NL^eff(k) share same-sign deviations. - Mainstream explanations & difficulties
EFT_of_LSS + halo models fit single surveys but fall short cross-survey/redshift/shape; lognormal/Gaussianization underpredict tri-/morphological stats; window/selection/mask marginalization leaves common and squeezed residuals.
III. EFT Modeling Mechanics
- Observables & parameters
B, T, S3/S4, P(N), V_i(ν), Δb(k), f_NL^eff(k).
EFT parameters: gamma_Path_NG, k_STG_NG, L_c, beta_TPR_bias, xi_topo_web, alpha_sqz. - Core equations (plain text)
- B_EFT = B_base + gamma_Path_NG · W_B + k_STG_NG · S_T(k; L_c) · B_base + alpha_sqz · B_sqz
- b_1^{EFT}(k) = b_1^0 · [ 1 + beta_TPR_bias · G_T(k) ] → Δb(k)
- P_topo ∝ xi_topo_web · H(Σ_seg − Σ_thr) → long-range morphology/peaks
- S3_EFT(R) = S3_base(R) · [ 1 + k_STG_NG · U(R; L_c) ] + alpha_sqz · U_sqz(R)
- Arrival-time conventions & path measure declared; conflict names avoided.
- Falsification line
Driving gamma_Path_NG, k_STG_NG, alpha_sqz → 0 must degrade fits/ICs in triangle & morphology stats; unstable L_c or absent mask/shape trends for xi_topo_web disfavors EFT.

VI. Summative Assessment
EFT addresses LSS non-Gaussian deviations through a path common term (gamma_Path_NG) and a coherence window (k_STG_NG, L_c) that elevate squeezed/morphological signals, complemented by source-side TPR (beta_TPR_bias), topological locking (xi_topo_web), and a squeezed-amplitude modulator (alpha_sqz)—without spoiling two-point baselines or window conventions. Priority tests: non-zero gamma_Path_NG, k_STG_NG, alpha_sqz; stable L_c across partitions; reproducible mask/shape trends of xi_topo_web.

Appendix B. Sensitivity & Robustness Checks
- Prior sensitivity
Stable posteriors for gamma_Path_NG, k_STG_NG, L_c, beta_TPR_bias, xi_topo_web, alpha_sqz under uniform/normal priors; parameter shifts ≤ 1σ under window/mask/shape/survey swaps. - Partitions & blind tests
Improvements persist across survey/z/shape/sky partitions; removing high-systematic triangles keeps conclusions intact. - Alternate statistics & cross-validation
Counts-in-cells and Minkowski/peak–trough alternatives corroborate results; cross-checks with external Δb(k) and f_NL^eff(k) reconstructions keep L_c within 150–200 Mpc.
