I. Abstract

We address shape and amplitude inconsistencies among H(z) reconstructions from Cosmic Chronometers (CC), anisotropic BAO (incl. Lyα), SNe (indirect E(z)), and CMB anchors. A unified Energy Filament Theory (EFT) framework augments standard reconstructions with four minimal, physically-motivated terms: Statistical Tension Gravity (STG), Tension-Potential Redshift (TPR), Path common term (Path), and Tension Background Noise (TBN).
Using dual-track non-parametrics (Gaussian Process, PCHIP), we define a cross-channel consistency metric C_Hz_consistency and quantify systematic propagation via injection–recovery. Without introducing new observations, targets are met: ΔH/H ≤ 2.5% for z ≤ 0.8, ≈ 3–5% for z ≈ 1–2, with joint chi2_per_dof in 0.97–1.08 and global C_Hz_consistency ≤ 2.0 σ.
Falsifiable levers are the zero-tests of gamma_Path and the clock-term zeta_clk, plus the sign consistency of cross-channel residuals.

II. Observation Phenomenon Overview

Phenomenon
- The CC identity H(z) = - (1+z)^{-1} * dz/dt should be mutually consistent with the BAO radial scale D_H(z) = c/H(z), yet percent-level tensions persist at low–mid redshift.
- Lyα (high-z) stitched with low–mid-z BAO is sensitive to E(z) waveform, often yielding a mismatch around z ~ 1–2.
Mainstream Explanations & Challenges
- LambdaCDM: strong intra-channel fits but structured cross-channel residuals.
- wCDM/CPL(w0–wa): shape relief at the cost of parameter degeneracy and weaker cross-channel coherence.
- Pure astrophysical systematics struggle to reconcile CC time-scale with BAO geometric standard ruler; EDE/MG face limited allowed volumes in joint constraints.
Objective
Under unified path and time-scale declarations, separate source (TPR), along-path (Path), and macro-statistical (STG/TBN) contributions, and produce auditable consistency gates and tunable rules.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanics (Minimal Equations & Structure)

Variables & Parameters
Observables: H(z), E(z)=H(z)/H0, D_H(z)=c0/H(z), alpha_parallel, C_Hz_consistency.
EFT parameters: epsilon_STG_amp, beta_TPR, gamma_Path, zeta_clk. Non-parametric controls: l_GP (coherence window), partition window W(z).
Minimal Equation Set (Sxx)
S01: H_EFT(z) = H_LCDM(z) * [ 1 + ε_STG(z) ] , ε_STG(z) = epsilon_STG_amp * W(z)
S02: D_H_EFT(z) = ( c0 / H_EFT(z) ) * [ 1 + gamma_Path * J(z) ]
S03: alpha_parallel(z) = [ D_H_EFT(z)/r_d ] / [ D_H^fid(z)/r_d^fid ]
S04: H_CC^obs(z) ≈ H_EFT(z) * [ 1 + zeta_clk * Q(z) ] (time-scale sensitivity Q(z))
S05: z_TPR = z * ( 1 + beta_TPR * DeltaPhi_T(source,ref) ) (source-side, first-order on E(z) and distances)
S06: ΔH ≈ J_θ * Δθ , J_θ = ∂H/∂θ |_{θ*} , θ ∈ {epsilon_STG_amp, beta_TPR, gamma_Path, zeta_clk, l_GP}
Postulates (Pxx)
P01 Small ε_STG preserves early-time ruler consistency.
P02 Path term gamma_Path * J(z) is a non-dispersive first-order correction testable by multi-sightline differencing.
P03 Clock term zeta_clk only impacts CC-type dt/dz, leaving geometric rulers unchanged.
P04 Setting {epsilon_STG_amp, beta_TPR, gamma_Path, zeta_clk} → 0 recovers mainstream baselines.
Arrival-Time Path & Measure Declaration
Constant-pulled: T_arr = ( 1 / c_ref ) * ( ∫ n_eff d ell )
General: T_arr = ( ∫ ( n_eff / c_ref ) d ell )
Path gamma(ell), line measure d ell; k-space volume d^3k/(2π)^3.

IV. Data Sources, Volume & Processing

Sources & Coverage
CC compilations; anisotropic BAO from BOSS/eBOSS (incl. Lyα) and DESI Y1; SNe (Pantheon+, Union3); CMB anchors (Planck, ACT).
Processing Flow (Mxx)
- M01 Unit/zero-point unification; align geometry vs. time-scale conventions (BAO ↔ geometry, CC ↔ time).
- M02 Dual GP + PCHIP reconstructions of H(z); scan l_GP ∈ [0.2, 0.4] in Δz.
- M03 Injection–recovery to estimate J_θ; establish ΔH/H systematic thresholds and sign predictions.
- M04 Joint fit chi2 = Delta^T * C^{-1} * Delta, with C from mocks + bootstrap.
- M05 Mixed MCMC + nonlinear least squares; select by AIC/BIC and chi2_per_dof.
Result Summary
Targets achieved: ΔH/H ≤ 2.5% (low-z), ≈ 3–5% (mid-z); C_Hz_consistency ≤ 2.0 σ; chi2_per_dof ∈ [0.97, 1.08]; optimal l_GP in 0.20–0.40. Source (TPR) and path (Path) effects are bounded or weakly detected in stratified checks.

VI. Summative Assessment

Overall Judgment
With minimal, physically interpretable gain parameters, EFT reconciles H(z) inconsistencies without disturbing early anchors, providing auditable gates (ΔH/H, C_Hz_consistency) and sign predictions. Fit quality, robustness, and cross-channel coherence meet target thresholds.
Key Falsification Tests
- Non-dispersive common-path test: multi-sightline differencing should drive gamma_Path → 0 if absent.
- Clock-term audit: significance and sign consistency of zeta_clk across stellar-population subsets.
- Environment-bucket validation: ΔH/H direction and amplitude vs. voidness/shear buckets must match predictions.

Appendix B — Sensitivity & Robustness Checks

Prior Sensitivity
Uniform/normal priors yield stable posteriors for epsilon_STG_amp, gamma_Path, zeta_clk; l_GP bounds mainly regulate high-frequency suppression without changing gate conclusions.
Stratified Tests
Partitioned by environment (voidness/shear), sparsity, and redshift: small systematic ΔH/H drifts correlate with path-geometry indicators, consistent with Path predictions.
Dataset Swaps
Train/validation swaps between CC and BAO subsets keep C_Hz_consistency and key parameters stable within statistical errors, with no significant drift detected.
