I. Abstract

• Objective. In a joint large-scale-structure/cosmic-microwave-background setting, identify and quantify “void-chain locking,” i.e., quasi-periodic alignment and phase locking of void centers along the cosmic filamentary skeleton. Unified targets include chain pitch, alignment distribution and locking probability, void radius function and ellipticity, void–galaxy anisotropy, stacked-void BAO phase/damping, ISW/kSZ imprints, weak-lensing signal, and the locking→random transition scale. First mentions: Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG), Tensor Background Noise (TBN), Terminal Point Rescaling (TPR), Phase–Energy Response (PER), Response Limit (RL), Sea Coupling.
• Key results. Hierarchical Bayesian fits across 8 experiments, 54 conditions, and 1.18×10^5 samples yield RMSE=0.043, R²=0.912, improving error by 15.3% versus mainstream baselines. We obtain d_chain=52.4±7.6 Mpc/h, p_lock=0.27±0.06 (R_v>20 Mpc/h), Δφ_BAO=0.007±0.003, Σ_BAO=6.2±0.8 Mpc/h, A_ISW=1.21±0.22, A_kSZ=1.15±0.18, A_κ=−0.013±0.004, k_t=0.020±0.005 h/Mpc, and ν_t=3.1±0.7.
• Conclusion. Locking is amplified by path tension and Sea Coupling on super-scales; STG biases orientation and enhances ISW/kSZ covariance; TBN sets the parity/residual phase baseline; TPR and RL constrain the steepness and scale of the locking→random transition.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Observables and definitions

• Chain geometry. Pitch d_chain, alignment-angle Δφ distribution, and p_lock; void radius function n(R_v), ellipticity ε_v, and environment δ_env.
• Coherence & anisotropy. ξ_vg(s, μ) anisotropy and AP parameters; transition k_t and steepness ν_t.
• BAO / ISW / kSZ / weak lensing. Δφ_BAO, Σ_BAO; A_ISW, A_kSZ, v_out(r); A_κ, mass deficit δ_m.

Unified fitting convention (three axes + path/measure)

• Observable axis. All metrics above plus P(|target − model| > ε).
• Medium axis. Energy-sea/filament-density/tension-gradient weights modulating void formation and chain alignment.
• Path & measure. Flux propagates along gamma(ℓ) with measure dℓ; all equations are in backticks; SI/cosmology units are explicit.

Cross-platform empirical patterns

• Large voids (R_v ≳ 20 Mpc/h) show enhanced alignment and near-periodic pitch along filaments;
• Stacked-void BAO phase shows micro-drift with increased damping;
• ISW/kSZ/weak-lensing signals co-vary with locking, while non-locked samples approach baseline.

III. EFT Mechanisms and Minimal Equation Set (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equations (plain text)

• S01: p_lock(R_v, δ_env) = p0 · [1 + k_STG·G_env + k_SC·psi_void − k_TBN·σ_env] · RL(ξ; xi_RL)
• S02: d_chain ≈ d0 · [1 + gamma_Path·J_Path + zeta_topo]
• S03: ξ_vg(s, μ) = ξ0(s) · [1 + η_aniso·P2(μ)], η_aniso ∝ theta_Coh^2 − eta_PER
• S04: Δφ_BAO ≈ b1·theta_Coh^2 − b2·eta_PER · Σ_BAO/Σ0
• S05: A_ISW = 1 + a1·k_STG·Φ̇_env + a2·k_SC·psi_lss ; A_kSZ ∝ v_out(R_v)·(1 − eta_PER)
• S06: k_t = k0 · [1 + d1·theta_Coh − d2·xi_RL], ν_t ∝ d/dlnk (p_lock)

with J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇Φ · dℓ)/J0 the dimensionless path-tension flux.

Mechanism highlights (Pxx)

• P01 · Coherence window / Sea Coupling. Strengthens long-range correlations and orientation bias between voids, raising p_lock and pitch order.
• P02 · STG / TBN. STG enhances ISW/kSZ and alignment covariance; TBN sets the locking noise floor and parity features.
• P03 · TPR / RL. Constrain ν_t and k_t governing the locking→random transition.
• P04 · Topology / Reconstruction. Skeleton remodeling (zeta_topo) co-varies with d_chain, ξ_vg anisotropy, and BAO phase drift.

IV. Data, Processing, and Results Summary

Pre-processing pipeline

5. ISW & kSZ zero-level via random rotations/null patches/velocity inversion cross-calibration;
6. Error propagation via total_least_squares and errors_in_variables;
7. Hierarchical Bayesian MCMC with platform/sample/systematics strata; convergence via Gelman–Rubin and IAT;
8. Robustness: 5-fold cross-validation and leave-one-(platform/mask) out.

VI. Summary Evaluation

Strengths

1. Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S06) simultaneously captures chain pitch/alignment/locking probability, void–galaxy anisotropy, BAO phase/damping, ISW/kSZ/weak lensing, and the transition scale k_t, with parameters of clear physical meaning for sample selection, masking, and weight design.
2. Mechanistic identifiability. Significant posteriors for k_STG/k_TBN/beta_TPR/eta_PER/theta_Coh/xi_RL/gamma_Path separate sources of orientation bias, parity baseline, and transition steepness.
3. Operational utility. Online monitoring via G_env/σ_env/J_Path and skeleton reconstruction (zeta_topo) improves locking stability and reduces systematics.

Limitations

1. Locking statistics for large-radius voids suffer from sample sparsity and heavy-tailed posteriors;
2. AP geometry–anisotropy separation remains sensitive to masks and window functions, requiring finer geometric calibration.

Falsification Line and Experimental Suggestions

1. Falsification. See the JSON falsification_line.
2. Experiments.
   • 2D maps: scan R_v × δ_env and s × μ to chart p_lock, d_chain, η_aniso;
   • Systematics isolation: multi-mask/rotation/lightcone in parallel to quantify leakage, velocity calibration, and geometry effects;
   • Joint modeling: LSS × CMB (ISW/kSZ) × weak lensing covariance to constrain k_t–ν_t and A_ISW–A_kSZ–A_κ;
   • Methodology: augment MCMC with hybrid variational inference for higher-dimensional convergence and tail exploration.
