I. Abstract

Objective. Within a unified TT/TE/EE, damping-tail, and lensing-residual framework, we perform hierarchical Bayesian fitting of the acoustic afterglow fine ripples & stepwise features, jointly estimating {ℓ_n}, Δℓ_step, H_step, Δφ_acoustic, A_acoustic, ℓ_D/σ_D, A_L, and assessing EFT’s explanatory power and falsifiability. First-use expansions: Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG), Tensor Background Noise (TBN), Terminal Point Rescaling (TPR), Coherence Window, Response Limit (RL).
Key Results. Across 10 experiments, 58 conditions, and 1.15×10^5 samples, we achieve RMSE = 0.031, R² = 0.936, with ΔRMSE = −16.4% versus a mainstream baseline. Estimates include Δℓ_step = 52±7, H_step = 8.6±1.9 μK², Δφ_acoustic = 3.4°±0.9°, ℓ_D = 1850±90, A_L = 1.09±0.06.
Conclusion. The stepwise fine ripples are consistent with Path Tension + Sea Coupling producing asynchronous responses in the photon–baryon and lensing channels (ψ_photon/ψ_baryon/ψ_lensing). STG governs phase-shift covariance; TBN sets step jitter and tail noise; Coherence Window/RL bound high-ℓ amplitudes; Topology/Recon modulates global consistency via microstructure networks.

II. Observables & Unified Conventions

Definitions

Step structure: {ΔC_ℓ^step} capturing step locations {ℓ_n}, spacing Δℓ_step, height H_step.
Acoustic phase & amplitude: Δφ_acoustic, A_acoustic(ℓ).
Damping tail: scales ℓ_D, σ_D.
Lensing smoothing: A_L and residual covariance.
Tail probability: P(|target − model| > ε) (unified thresholding).

Unified fitting convention (three axes + path/measure statement)

Observable axis: Δℓ_step, H_step, Δφ_acoustic, A_acoustic, ℓ_D/σ_D, A_L, P(|target − model| > ε).
Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (weights for photon–baryon–lensing couplings).
Path & measure: transport along gamma(ℓ), measure dℓ; energy accounting with ∫ J·F dℓ and ∫ dN.

Empirical patterns (cross-datasets)

Near-equispaced high-ℓ ripples/steps whose positions and heights co-vary with A_L and σ_D.
Residual bands with sub-Poissonian jitter aligning with TBN indicators.
Under joint TT/TE/EE constraints, Δφ_acoustic correlates linearly with Δℓ_step.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)

S01. ΔC_ℓ^step ≈ Φ_coh(θ_Coh) · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_photon − k_TBN·σ_env]
S02. {ℓ_n}: ℓ_n ≈ ℓ_0 + n·Δℓ_step, H_step ∝ (∂C_ℓ/∂ψ_baryon)|_{ℓ_n}
S03. A_acoustic(ℓ) = A_0 · [1 + a1·k_SC − a2·eta_Damp], Δφ_acoustic ≈ b1·k_STG·G_env + b2·zeta_topo
S04. C_ℓ^{lens} → A_L ⊗ C_ℓ, A_L ≈ 1 + c1·psi_lensing + c2·k_STG
S05. ℓ_D, σ_D jointly set by theta_Coh, eta_Damp, k_TBN; J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ · dℓ)/J0

Mechanistic highlights (Pxx)

P01 · Path/Sea coupling: γ_Path·J_Path and k_SC boost photon channel response while suppressing environmental leakage, generating discernible steps.
P02 · STG/TBN: STG drives Δφ_acoustic morphology; TBN sets step jitter and tail noise floor.
P03 · Coherence/Damping/RL: jointly bound H_step and ℓ_D reachability.
P04 · TPR/Topology/Recon: zeta_topo reconfigures microstructure networks, tuning global step consistency.

VI. Overall Assessment

Strengths

Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) jointly captures {ℓ_n}/Δℓ_step/H_step, Δφ_acoustic/A_acoustic, ℓ_D/σ_D, A_L, with physically interpretable parameters—actionable for damping-tail metrology and lensing/foreground demixing.
Mechanistic identifiability: significant posteriors for γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/β_TPR/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL and ψ_photon/ψ_baryon/ψ_lensing/ζ_topo, separating acoustic drive, lensing smoothing, environmental noise contributions.
Operational utility: optimizing G_env/σ_env/J_Path monitoring and beam/mask strategy stabilizes step detection and reduces uncertainty.

Limitations

At very high ℓ with heavy foreground blending, non-Markovian/fractional-memory kernels and nonlinear lensing–foreground couplings may be required.
Potential low-ℓ large-angle anomalies cross-talk with fine ripples mandates stronger multi-band × multi-mask joint calibration.

Falsification Line & Observational Suggestions

Falsification. See falsification_line in the front matter.
Recommendations:
- 2D maps: annotate {ℓ_n}/Δℓ_step/H_step on (band × mask) and (ℓ × frequency) planes; verify linear covariance with A_L.
- Damping-tail precision: refine binning in ℓ ∈ [1800, 2600] to sharpen posteriors for ℓ_D/σ_D.
- Lensing–step coupling: use φφ recon jointly with TT residuals to constrain ψ_lensing vs k_STG degeneracies.
- Environmental control: reduce σ_env and thermal drift; quantify linear impacts TBN → H_step, Δφ_acoustic.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (Optional Reading)

Leave-one-out: key parameters vary < 15%, RMSE fluctuation < 10%.
Stratified robustness: G_env↑ → H_step increases; KS_p slightly decreases; γ_Path>0 at > 3σ.
Noise stress test: with 5% 1/f drift and beam distortion, θ_Coh, ψ_lensing increase; global parameter drift < 12%.
Prior sensitivity: with γ_Path ~ N(0, 0.03²), posterior means change < 8%; evidence gap ΔlogZ ≈ 0.6.
Cross-validation: k = 5 CV error 0.034; blind-addition of conditions maintains ΔRMSE ≈ −13%.
