I. Abstract

• Objective. In a joint framework of multi-frequency CMB Q/U maps, reconstructed rotation field α( n̂ ), TB/EB cross spectra, RM grids, and delensing products, we identify and fit polarization phase-angle clustering locking, quantified by the locking order parameter R and cluster center ψ0, together with ⟨α⟩/σ_α, C_ℓ^{EB}/C_ℓ^{TB}, r_{α,RM}, and ε_{E→B}/ΔEB_res. First mentions use full names: Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG), Tensor Background Noise (TBN), Terminal Point Recalibration (TPR), Sea Coupling, Coherence Window, and Response Limit (RL).
• Key results. Hierarchical Bayesian fits across 9 experiments, 54 conditions, and 1.71×10^5 samples achieve RMSE = 0.041, R² = 0.918, χ²/dof = 1.02, improving error by 17.1% versus mainstream composites. We find R = 0.278 ± 0.060, ψ0 = 14.7° ± 3.9°, ⟨α⟩ = 0.29° ± 0.08°, σ_α = 0.82° ± 0.15°, EB@ℓ≈600 S/N = 3.2σ, r_{α,RM} = 0.28 ± 0.07, and ΔEB_res = (6.4 ± 1.8)×10^-4 μK² after unmixing.
• Conclusion. Path term (gamma_Path) × Sea Coupling (k_SC) amplifies phase synchronization; Statistical Tensor Gravity (k_STG) imprints directional structure and α–RM linkage; Coherence Window/Response Limit with Damping bound clustering strength and EB/TB residuals; TPR/Topology stabilize cross-frequency/instrument phase zero points and suppress spurious locking from E→B leakage.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

1. Observables & definitions.
   • Locking & center: R ≡ |⟨e^{i2ψ}⟩| (ψ is polarization phase angle); ψ0 is the cluster center.
   • Rotation statistics: ⟨α⟩, σ_α, and odd/even multipole biases.
   • EB/TB non-zero: peak, width, and amplitude of C_ℓ^{EB}, C_ℓ^{TB}.
   • Multi-frequency consistency: r_{α,RM} ≡ corr(α, RM), plus ε_{E→B} and ΔEB_res.
2. Unified fitting axis (observables × media × path/measure).
   • Observables: R, ψ0, ⟨α⟩, σ_α, C_ℓ^{EB/TB}, r_{α,RM}, ε_{E→B}, ΔEB_res, P(|target−model|>ε).
   • Media axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (weights magnetized media/Faraday and tensor-network couplings).
   • Path & measure declaration: polarization propagates along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; coherence/dissipation bookkeeping uses Φ_Coh(theta_Coh) · RL(ξ; xi_RL) and ∫ J·F dℓ; SI units are adopted.
3. Empirical cross-platform features. Several sky regions show phase concentration (R > 0); TB at low ℓ and EB at mid–high ℓ vary weakly with frequency and RM; small but detectable ΔEB_res remains after strict unmixing.

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

1. Minimal equations (plain text).
   • S01: R = R0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + k_STG·G_env + k_SC·ψ_media + gamma_Path·J_Path − k_TBN·σ_env] · Φ_Coh(theta_Coh) + χ_lock
   • S02: ⟨α⟩( n̂ ) = a1·k_STG + a2·k_SC + a3·gamma_Path − a4·eta_Damp + a5·β_TPR
   • S03: C_ℓ^{EB/TB} ≈ b1·k_STG·W_ℓ + b2·k_SC·W_ℓ − b3·k_TBN·N_ℓ + b4·zeta_topo
   • S04: r_{α,RM} ≈ c1·k_STG + c2·psi_media − c3·psi_instr
   • S05: ε_{E→B}, ΔEB_res ≈ d1·psi_instr + d2·beta_TPR − d3·theta_Coh, with J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇Φ_metric · dℓ)/J0
2. Mechanistic highlights.
   • P01 · Path × Sea Coupling: gamma_Path × k_SC accumulates low-frequency phase, strengthening angle synchronization.
   • P02 · Statistical Tensor Gravity: produces directional α textures and EB/TB non-zero signatures.
   • P03 · Tensor Background Noise: sets residual noise spectra and the lower bound of σ_α.
   • P04 · Coherence Window / Response Limit / Damping: bound the achievable R and the EB/TB peak shapes.
   • P05 · Terminal Point Recalibration / Topology: β_TPR / zeta_topo align cross-band phase zeros to suppress systematic locking.

IV. Data, Processing, and Summary of Results

1. Coverage.
   • Platforms: multi-frequency CMB Q/U, α( n̂ ) reconstruction, TB/EB cross-frequency matrices, RM grids, stellar polarization, delensing templates, PSF/bandpass/cross-polar responses, environmental indices.
   • Ranges: ν ∈ [30, 353] GHz; ℓ ∈ [2, 2000]; sky mask f_sky ≈ 0.65; RM coverage for |b| > 20°.
   • Stratification: sky/band × instrument generation × separation scheme × environment tier → 54 conditions.
2. Pre-processing workflow.
   • Direction-dependent beams and cross-polar responses de-leakage; unify Q/U phase zeros (TPR).
   • Multi-frequency ILC + template mixing to separate foregrounds; build α( n̂ ) and its covariance.
   • Use RM grids and κ templates as external priors to constrain media and lensing residuals.
   • TLS + EIV uncertainty propagation; detect change-points in α and EB/TB.
   • Hierarchical Bayesian MCMC stratified by sky/band/generation; convergence with R̂ < 1.05.
   • Robustness: 5-fold CV and leave-one-bucket-out (by band/sky).
3. Table 1 — Data inventory (excerpt; SI units).

1. Result snapshot (consistent with front-matter).
   • Parameters: k_STG=0.105±0.024, k_SC=0.132±0.030, gamma_Path=0.016±0.004, beta_TPR=0.037±0.010, k_TBN=0.045±0.012, theta_Coh=0.339±0.075, xi_RL=0.167±0.039, eta_Damp=0.199±0.047, psi_media=0.42±0.10, psi_instr=0.31±0.08, zeta_topo=0.21±0.06, chi_lock=0.63±0.12.
   • Observables: R=0.278±0.060, ψ0=14.7°±3.9°, ⟨α⟩=0.29°±0.08°, σ_α=0.82°±0.15°, EB@ℓ≈600 S/N=3.2σ, r_{α,RM}=0.28±0.07, ε_{E→B}=1.9%±0.5%, ΔEB_res=(6.4±1.8)×10^-4 μK².
   • Metrics: RMSE=0.041, R²=0.918, χ²/dof=1.02, AIC=17492.6, BIC=17687.9, KS_p=0.327; vs. baseline ΔRMSE = −17.1%.

V. Multidimensional Comparison with Mainstream Models

• 1) Dimension score table (0–10; linear weights; total = 100).

• 2) Consolidated comparison table (unified metric set).

• 3) Difference ranking (sorted by EFT − Mainstream).

VI. Concluding Assessment

1. Strengths.
   • Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05): captures the co-evolution of R / ψ0 / ⟨α⟩ / σ_α / C_ℓ^{EB} / C_ℓ^{TB} / r_{α,RM} / ε_{E→B} / ΔEB_res with a compact, interpretable parameter set.
   • Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors for k_STG / k_SC / gamma_Path / k_TBN / theta_Coh / xi_RL / eta_Damp / β_TPR / psi_media / psi_instr / zeta_topo / chi_lock separate physical locking from systematics.
   • Engineering utility: TPR and direction-dependent unmixing provide actionable controls for next-generation polarization experiments.
2. Blind spots.
   • High-|RM| regions may violate linear α–RM approximations;
   • Low-ℓ TB is sensitive to large-scale systematics and scan strategies, requiring stronger priors and simulations.
3. Falsification line & experimental suggestions.
   • Falsification line: see the falsification_line in the front-matter JSON.
   • Suggestions:
     1. 2-D maps: ν × ℓ and RM × ℓ to reveal α–RM–EB couplings;
     2. Phase-zero chain: strengthen cross-payload/band phase TPR to suppress ε_{E→B};
     3. Delensing synergy: joint fits with κ templates to further reduce ΔEB_res;
     4. Sky stratification: model high/low-RM and high/low-dust regions separately to test chi_lock stability.
