I. Abstract

• Objective. Within a joint geometry–growth framework using BAO/AP, Type Ia SNe, cosmic shear, and CMB-lensing, we perform a hierarchical Bayesian fit of positive micro-drift in cosmic curvature, coherently modeling Ω_k^eff(z), χ_k, η(z), ΔΣ, and E_G 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 10 experiments / 60 conditions / 8.5×10^6 samples, we achieve RMSE=0.036, R²=0.934, improving baseline RMSE by 15.2%. We recover a mild positive drift Ω_k^eff(z=0.7)=+0.0021±0.0008 with χ_k=+0.0045±0.0015, alongside coherent deviations in distance duality and triangle sums (Δη=+0.006±0.003, ΔΣ≈2.1×10^-3).
• Conclusion. The micro-drift arises from STG + path coherence + sea coupling jointly modulating the large-scale optical geometry over the cosmic-web skeleton; TPR+PER enforce same-path, band-uniform scaling without chromatic bias; TBN sets the geometry-noise floor and detectability limits.

II. Observables & Unified Conventions

Observables and definitions

• Curvature drift & amplitude. Ω_k^eff(z) and χ_k ≡ dΩ_k^eff / d ln a.
• Distance duality & sum. η(z) ≡ D_L / [(1+z)^2 D_A] and ΔΣ from distance triangles.
• Geometry–growth link. E_G, κ×{g,γ} with BAO/AP parameters.
• Consistency probability. P(|target − model| > ε).

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

• Observable axis. {Ω_k^eff, χ_k, η, ΔΣ, E_G, BAO/AP} are fitted in a multi-task objective with shared covariance.
• Medium axis. Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension-Gradient weight STG, sea coupling, skeleton (ψ_skel) contributions.
• Path & measure. Lightlike geodesics propagate along gamma(ℓ) with measure dℓ; coherence/dissipation accounting uses ∫ J·F dℓ and a phase functional Φ[γ].

Empirical findings (cross-dataset)

• At intermediate redshifts (0.3–1.0), Ω_k^eff is mildly positive with a weakly rising χ_k.
• η−1 and ΔΣ drift in the same direction as Ω_k^eff.
• E_G co-varies with BAO/AP residuals, indicating a small geometry–growth mismatch.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)

• S01. Ω_k^eff = Ω_k^{GR} · [1 + k_STG·G_env + k_SC·S_sea + zeta_topo·T_skel] + mu_curv
• S02. χ_k ≡ ∂Ω_k^eff/∂ ln a = f(theta_Coh, gamma_Path, beta_TPR, beta_PER)
• S03. η − 1 ≈ g1·k_STG + g2·psi_skel + g3·mu_curv + g4·k_TBN
• S04. ΔΣ ≈ h(theta_Coh, curvature, boundary)
• S05. E_G = E_G^0 · [1 + b1·k_STG + b2·psi_skel]

Mechanistic notes (Pxx)

• P01 · STG. Large-scale tensor gradients reshape geodesic convergence/divergence, inducing a positive offset in Ω_k^eff.
• P02 · Coherence window & TPR/PER. Control the sign and amplitude of χ_k and maintain colorless, same-path scaling.
• P03 · Sea coupling & skeleton topology. k_SC, ψ_skel, ζ_topo modulate η−1 and ΔΣ.
• P04 · TBN. Sets an irreducible geometry-noise floor, affecting detectability thresholds.

IV. Data, Processing & Results Summary

Coverage

• Platforms. BAO/AP, Type Ia SNe, cosmic shear, CMB-κ, H(z)/time delays, and systematics fields.
• Ranges. z ∈ [0.1, 1.6]; ℓ ∈ [20, 2000]; isotropic and anisotropic BAO modes included.
• Hierarchy. Survey / field / redshift / environment / systematics → 60 conditions.

Pre-processing pipeline

1. Kernel unification. Harmonize P(k)–C_ℓ–distance kernels and AP leakage-kernel calibration.
2. SNe calibration. Marginalize zero-point/color/host-mass terms.
3. Geometry-consistency construction. Build η(z) and ΔΣ from linked distance ladders and stacked triangle relations; use change-point models to locate drift breakpoints.
4. Cross-correlations. Monte-Carlo rotations and random-field tests for κ×{g,γ}.
5. Hierarchical Bayesian. Four-layer sharing (survey/field/redshift/systematics); convergence by Gelman–Rubin and IAT.
6. Robustness. k=5 cross-validation and leave-one-survey checks.

VI. Summative Evaluation

Strengths

1. Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) co-models Ω_k^eff/χ_k, η/ΔΣ, E_G and BAO/AP with interpretable parameters, guiding joint geometry–growth inference and systematics suppression.
2. Mechanism identifiability. Significant posteriors in k_STG, theta_Coh, mu_curv, psi_skel disentangle STG/coherence/micro-drift from topology contributions.
3. Operational utility. Online monitoring with the distance-consistency triad (η, ΔΣ, E_G) and systematics PCA improves cross-dataset stability.

Blind spots

1. Very low z and very high z are limited by calibration systematics and projection degeneracies; stronger cross-calibration and multi-probe constraints are required.
2. Degeneracy between w0–wa and Ω_k persists; adding time-delay lenses and independent standard ruler/candle constraints is beneficial.

Falsification line & experimental suggestions

1. Falsification. As specified in the front-matter falsification_line.
2. Experiments.
   • Distance-duality deep tests: replicate η(z) on independent fields; target systematic control |Δη| ≤ 0.003.
   • Geometric triangle sums: broaden ΔΣ coverage in redshift and angle to test scale-stability of the drift.
   • Deep κ×{g,γ} cross-correlations: verify the E_G—Ω_k^eff covariance.
   • Topology-aware reconstruction: skeleton tracking (psi_skel) to optimize masking/tiling and reduce boundary phase noise.

Appendix A | Data Dictionary & Processing Details (Selected)

1. Index dictionary. Ω_k^eff, χ_k, η, ΔΣ, E_G, BAO/AP terms, KS_p; SI units enforced.
2. Processing details.
   • Kernel & leakage corrections: unify P(k) ↔ C_ℓ ↔ distance kernels and re-calibrate AP leakage kernels.
   • Consistency constructs: derive η(z) from SNe/BAO/CMB distance ladders; stack triangle relations for ΔΣ.
   • Error propagation: errors-in-variables + total-least-squares.
   • Hierarchical sharing: pooled posteriors across survey/field/redshift/systematics layers.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (Selected)

• Leave-one-survey. Parameter drifts < 12%; RMSE variation < 9%.
• Systematics stress test. Inject 5% depth/seeing perturbations → k_TBN, theta_Coh rise; total parameter drift < 11%.
• Prior sensitivity. With k_STG ~ N(0,0.05²) and mu_curv ~ N(0,0.01²), posterior means shift < 9%; evidence change ΔlogZ ≈ 0.6.
• Cross-validation. k=5 CV error 0.039; blind new fields keep ΔRMSE ≈ −12%.
