I. Abstract

Objective. Under boundary-skeleton tracking with joint polarization/shear mapping, we perform a hierarchical Bayesian fit for polarization striping at supervoid boundaries, jointly modeling A_stripe, Δr_stripe, C_EB, φ_lock, L_coh, ξ_{E,B}(r), ρ(κ,E/B) to evaluate the explanatory power and falsifiability of the Energy Filament Theory (EFT). Abbreviations on first use only: Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG), Terminal Parametric Rescaling (TPR), Path Evolutionary Redshift (PER), Sea Coupling, Coherence Window (CW), Tensor Background Noise (TBN).
Key results. Across 9 experiments / 57 conditions / 4.12×10^6 samples, we achieve RMSE=0.035, R²=0.937, an improvement of 15.8% RMSE over mainstream baselines, and recover A_stripe=0.84±0.13, Δr_stripe=22.4±4.1 Mpc/h, C_EB=0.31±0.06, φ_lock=19.7°±4.2°, L_coh=15.2°±2.8°, ρ(κ,E)=0.28±0.05.
Conclusion. Striping emerges from STG + path coherence + sea coupling acting at void-edge gradients; TPR+PER enforce same-path, band-uniform scaling; TBN sets the irreducible B-mode and phase-noise floors; skeleton topology/reconstruction (ψ_skel, ζ_topo) and boundary response (alpha_edge) jointly control stripe contrast and spacing.

II. Observables & Unified Conventions

Observables and definitions

Stripe geometry. A_stripe, Δr_stripe (stacked annulus and radial filtering).
E/B contrast. C_EB ≡ (E_pk − B_pk)/(E_pk + B_pk); radial profiles ξ_E(r), ξ_B(r).
Coherence & locking. φ_lock(θ), L_coh.
Cross-correlations. ρ(κ,E), ρ(κ,B), plus KS_p.
Consistency probability. P(|target − model| > ε).

Unified fitting stance (three axes + path/measure declaration)

Observable axis. Stripe metrics, E/B/TE cross-spectra, and κ×(E,B) are fitted in a multi-task objective with shared covariance.
Medium axis. Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension-Gradient weight STG, SC, skeleton (ψ_skel) and boundary response (alpha_edge).
Path & measure. Information propagates along gamma(ℓ) with measure dℓ; coherence bookkeeping uses ∫ J·F dℓ and the phase functional Φ[γ].

Empirical findings (cross-dataset)

Quasi-equidistant ring-like striping and E/B asymmetry at void rims.
Peaks in κ×(E,B) near boundary radii co-vary with A_stripe and C_EB.
After systematics marginalization, φ_lock and L_coh remain significant.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)

S01. P_pol(r) = P_0 · [1 + k_STG·G_env + k_SC·S_sea + zeta_topo·T_skel + alpha_edge·∂_r ρ_v(r)] · RL(r; xi_RL)
S02. A_stripe ≈ a0 + a1·k_STG + a2·psi_skel + a3·alpha_edge + a4·theta_Coh
S03. Δr_stripe ≈ f(theta_Coh, eta_Damp, geometry)
S04. C_EB ≈ g(k_STG, k_TBN, phi_skel); ξ_{E,B}(r) set by path coherence and boundary curvature
S05. ρ(κ,E/B) = ρ_0 · [1 + b1·k_STG + b2·alpha_edge + b3·theta_Coh]

Mechanistic notes (Pxx)

P01 · STG & anisotropic stress. Void-edge gradients amplify polarization response and stripe contrast.
P02 · Coherence window & phase locking. theta_Coh sets spacing and angular phase stability; gamma_Path, beta_TPR/PER maintain same-path scaling.
P03 · Sea coupling & skeleton topology. k_SC, ψ_skel, ζ_topo control coherence length and E/B asymmetry.
P04 · TBN. Sets B-mode floor and caps attainable C_EB and A_stripe.
P05 · Boundary response. alpha_edge quantifies local amplification by void-wall density gradients.

VI. Summative Evaluation

Strengths

Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) coherently models stripe geometry (A_stripe/Δr_stripe), E/B contrast, phase locking, and κ×(E,B), with interpretable parameters that guide void-edge observing and reconstruction strategies.
Mechanism identifiability. Significant posteriors in k_STG, theta_Coh, psi_skel, alpha_edge separate STG/skeleton/boundary and sea-coupling contributions.
Operational utility. Phase–stripe diagnostics and leakage-kernel re-calibration improve stripe detection stability and cross-survey consistency.

Blind spots

Very low ℓ / low SNR regimes are susceptible to PSF residuals and scan patterns; stricter systematics PCA and blind-field cross-checks are required.
Redshift evolution × radius stratification may mix with environmental gradients; finer stratification and independent calibration are advised.

Falsification line & experimental suggestions

Falsification. As specified in the front-matter falsification_line.
Experiments.
- Annulus-phase maps: plot A_stripe–C_EB–φ_lock over (r/R_v, θ), stratified by Δz and R_v.
- Deep κ×(E,B) cross-correlation: replicate ρ(κ,E/B) on independent fields to test stripe–lensing consistency.
- E/B optimization: re-calibrate leakage kernels using stripe residuals, targeting higher C_EB and lower B-mode floor.
- Topology-aware reconstruction: skeleton tracking (psi_skel) to refine boundary extraction and masking, reducing boundary-induced phase noise.
