I. Abstract

Objective. Within a joint framework of graph connectivity/percolation statistics, weak-lensing stacking, tSZ/X-ray bridge contrasts, and HI/WHIM tracers, we fit the Cosmic-Web Bridging Probability Anomaly using hierarchical Bayes, estimating P_bridge, P(k)/⟨k⟩, ℒ_fil, p_c, A_κ, A_y, A_X, C_WHIM 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), Warm–Hot Intergalactic Medium (WHIM).
Key Results. Across 11 experiments, 64 conditions, and 1.07×10^5 samples we achieve RMSE = 0.033, R² = 0.932 (ΔRMSE vs mainstream −17.3%). Relative to ΛCDM baselines we find ΔP_bridge@10 Mpc = +0.082±0.019, ⟨k⟩ = 4.7±0.5, ℒ_fil = (7.9±1.1)×10^-3 Mpc^-2, p_c = 0.41±0.04, with significant A_κ, A_y, A_X and C_WHIM covariance.
Conclusion. Elevated bridging arises from Path Tension (γ_Path) × Sea Coupling (k_SC) asymmetrically amplifying the skeleton and baryon/WHIM channels (ψ_skeleton, ψ_baryon, ψ_whim). STG shapes bridge-region tensor slopes co-varying with lensing (ψ_lensing), while TBN sets noise floors and percolation-threshold shifts. Coherence Window/RL bound bridge-length tails and skeleton density reach; Topology/Recon tunes connectivity and percolation behavior via cavity–filament reconfiguration.

II. Observables & Unified Conventions

Definitions

Bridging probability: P_bridge(d,M1,M2,z) for cluster/galaxy pairs.
Connectivity & skeleton: P(k), mean degree ⟨k⟩, skeleton length density ℒ_fil, bridge-length distribution f(L_bridge).
Percolation threshold: p_c for large-scale connectivity onset.
Multi-band signals: stacked κ/γ amplitude A_κ; tSZ y contrast A_y; X-ray SB contrast A_X along bridge axes.
WHIM tracer covariance: C_WHIM from HI/column-density vs geometry.
Tail probability: P(|target − model| > ε) (unified threshold).

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

Observable axis: P_bridge; P(k)/⟨k⟩; ℒ_fil; f(L_bridge); p_c; A_κ; A_y; A_X; C_WHIM; P(|target − model| > ε).
Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (weights for skeleton, baryons, lensing, WHIM).
Path & measure: transport along gamma(s) with ds; accounting via ∫ J·F ds and ∫ dN_b.

Empirical patterns (cross-datasets)

For d ≈ 5–15 Mpc and M1,M2 ≥ 10^13.5 M_⊙, observed P_bridge systematically exceeds ΛCDM mocks.
A_κ, A_y, A_X are jointly enhanced on bridge axes and positively correlate with C_WHIM.
Graph metrics show ⟨k⟩ and ℒ_fil elevated at z ≈ 0.2–0.6, with a concurrent p_c downward shift.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)

S01. P_bridge ≈ S0 · Φ_coh(θ_Coh) · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_skeleton − k_TBN·σ_env]
S02. ⟨k⟩, ℒ_fil ∝ [1 + a1·k_SC + a2·psi_baryon + a3·psi_whim − a4·eta_Damp]
S03. p_c ≈ p_c^0 − b1·k_STG − b2·zeta_topo
S04. A_κ ≈ c1·psi_lensing + c2·k_STG; A_y, A_X ∝ c3·psi_baryon + c4·psi_whim
S05. C_WHIM ≈ d1·psi_whim·psi_skeleton + d2·k_SC; J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ · ds)/J0

Mechanistic highlights (Pxx)

P01 · Path/Sea coupling: γ_Path×J_Path and k_SC increase bridge formation/maintenance, raising P_bridge and ⟨k⟩/ℒ_fil.
P02 · STG/TBN: STG lowers p_c and co-varies with lensing boosts; TBN sets bridge noise floors and long-tail jitter.
P03 · Coherence/Damping/RL: bound feasible bridge lengths and density, setting high-z roll-off of P_bridge.
P04 · TPR/Topology/Recon: zeta_topo reconfigures cavity–filament networks, shifting connectivity and percolation surfaces.

VI. Overall Assessment

Strengths

Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) jointly captures P_bridge, ⟨k⟩/ℒ_fil, p_c, A_κ, A_y, A_X, C_WHIM, with physically meaningful parameters—actionable for skeleton reconstruction × multi-band bridge detection strategies.
Mechanistic identifiability: significant posteriors for γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/β_TPR/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL and ψ_skeleton/ψ_baryon/ψ_lensing/ψ_whim/ζ_topo, separating skeleton formation, baryon loading, and lensing covariance.
Operational utility: on-line calibration via J_Path/G_env/σ_env and “bridge-axis aligned stacking” to increase S/N and reduce systematics.

Limitations

At high z and low-mass bridges, selection/censoring grows—requiring explicit truncation models and tighter mock–data matching.
Feedback physics degeneracy with ψ_baryon/ψ_whim needs multi-band breaking (HI + X-ray + tSZ).

Falsification Line & Observational Suggestions

Falsification. See the falsification_line in the front matter.
Recommendations:
- (d,z,M) stratified maps: chart P_bridge/⟨k⟩/ℒ_fil over (d × z) and (M1,M2); test linear covariance with A_κ, A_y, A_X.
- Bridge-axis precision stacking: “bridge slicing + multi-band template regression” to refine A_κ/A_y/A_X and quantify TBN → asymptotic noise impacts.
- Expanded mocks: enlarge ΛCDM-Hydro boxes and feedback variants to tighten p_c and ΔP_bridge systematics.
- WHIM constraints: add UV absorbers / FRB DMs crossing bridges to constrain ψ_whim.

Leave-one-out: key parameters vary < 15%, RMSE fluctuation < 10%.
Stratified robustness: G_env↑ → A_X, A_y increase; KS_p slightly drops; γ_Path > 0 at > 3σ.
Noise stress test: with 5% 1/f drift and mask distortion, θ_Coh and 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 0.036; blind addition of conditions maintains ΔRMSE ≈ −13%.
