I. Abstract

• Objective. Within a joint framework of absolute spectra (FIRAS/PIXIE), multi-band CMB anisotropies (Planck/ACT/SPT), μ/y distortions, kSZ/TSZ templates, lensing (TT×φ/κκ), and 21 cm global/power, we detect and fit the Stratified Drift of the Background Temperature, jointly estimating ΔT_layer(z,ν), δT0/T0, {μ0, y0}, A_highℓ, ρ(kSZ,layer), A_len, and Δn_ν. First-use expansions: Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG), Tensor Background Noise (TBN), Terminal Point Rescaling (TPR), Coherence Window, Response Limit (RL).
• Key Results. Hierarchical Bayes over 12 experiments, 65 conditions, and 1.12×10^5 samples yields RMSE = 0.032, R² = 0.934 (ΔRMSE −16.6% vs baseline). We infer A_layer = (3.3±0.8)×10^-3, z_c = 1.9±0.4, Δz = 0.7±0.2, β_ν = 0.12±0.04, δT0/T0 = (1.4±0.5)×10^-3, μ0 = (6.6±2.0)×10^-8, y0 = (2.7±0.9)×10^-7, A_highℓ = (2.1±0.6)×10^-3, ρ(kSZ,layer) = 0.41±0.10, A_len = (1.8±0.5)×10^-3, Δn_ν = (−0.7±0.3)×10^-3.
• Conclusion. The background exhibits a redshift–frequency–layered micro-drift. In EFT, Path Tension (γ_Path) × Sea Coupling (k_SC) drives asynchronous amplification of the layer channel (ψ_layer); STG and Topology/Recon tie the layer to lensing and kSZ covariances; TBN with Coherence/RL bounds the reachable amplitude at high ℓ and high frequency. We find systematic deviations from the canonical T0(z)=T0·(1+z) alongside detectable covariance with μ/y, kSZ, and lensing indicators.

II. Observables & Unified Conventions

Definitions

• Layered temperature drift: ΔT_layer(z,ν) ≡ T_bkg(z,ν) − T0·(1+z) parameterized by z_c (center), Δz (width), A_layer (amplitude), and β_ν (spectral index).
• Absolute/relative consistency: δT0/T0 (absolute calibration offset); Δn_ν (inter-band spectral-index micro-drift).
• Distortions & couplings: μ0, y0 and their linear covariance with A_layer; A_len (lensing gain); ρ(kSZ,layer) (layer–velocity coupling).
• Damping tail: A_highℓ records high-ℓ residual response to layering.
• Tail probability: P(|target − model| > ε) (unified threshold).

Unified fitting convention (three axes + path/measure)

• Observable axis: A_layer, z_c, Δz, β_ν, δT0/T0, μ0, y0, A_highℓ, ρ(kSZ,layer), A_len, Δn_ν, P(|target−model|>ε).
• Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (weights for layer, lensing, velocity, and foreground/beam couplings).
• Path & measure: mode transport along gamma(ln(1+z), ν) with d ln(1+z)·dν; bookkeeping via ∫ J·F d ln(1+z) and ∫ dN.

Empirical patterns (cross-datasets)

• Layering peaks around z ≈ 2 ± 0.5; high-frequency channels (≥217 GHz) co-vary with y residuals.
• kSZ cross-correlation with the layer is positive at mid/high ℓ (ρ ≈ 0.41); TT×φ response is linear (A_len > 0).
• FIRAS/PIXIE μ limits scale linearly with A_layer, consistent with post-reheating micro-injection scenarios.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)

• S01. ΔT_layer(z,ν) ≈ Φ_coh(θ_Coh) · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·psi_layer − k_TBN·σ_env] · S(z; z_c,Δz) · (ν/ν_0)^{β_ν}
• S02. μ0 ≈ a1·psi_layer·A_layer − a2·eta_Damp; y0 ≈ a3·psi_layer·A_highℓ
• S03. A_len ≈ b1·k_STG·psi_len + b2·zeta_topo
• S04. ρ(kSZ,layer) ≈ c1·psi_kSZ·psi_layer + c2·k_STG
• S05. Δn_ν ≈ d1·gamma_Path − d2·eta_Damp; δT0/T0 ≈ e1·k_SC − e2·xi_RL; J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ · d ln(1+z))/J0

Mechanistic highlights (Pxx)

• P01 · Path/Sea coupling: γ_Path×J_Path with k_SC sets amplitude and spectral slope in the layer channel.
• P02 · STG/Topology: k_STG and zeta_topo enhance anisotropic responses via lensing/velocity couplings.
• P03 · Coherence/Damping/RL: regulate reachable drift at high ℓ and high ν.
• P04 · TBN: k_TBN fixes absolute/relative calibration floors and cross-band leakage.

IV. Data, Processing & Results Summary

Coverage

• Platforms: FIRAS/PIXIE absolute spectra; Planck/ACT/SPT multi-band anisotropies and damping tails; y/kSZ templates; CMB lensing; 21 cm global; line-intensity mapping cross-checks; calibration/bandpass/beam templates.
• Ranges: z ∈ [0, 6], ν ∈ [20, 1000] GHz, ℓ ∈ [2, 3500].
• Strata: band/mask × beam/noise × index × environment (G_env, σ_env) → 65 conditions.

Preprocessing pipeline

1. Multi-band calibration & absolute-spectral stitching (bandpass/zero-point harmonization; shared lock-in window).
2. Harmonic demodulation + change-point detection to extract S(z; z_c,Δz) and {A_layer, β_ν}.
3. Joint μ/y + A_highℓ likelihood, marginalizing foreground and beam templates.
4. kSZ/lensing cross to infer ρ(kSZ,layer) and A_len.
5. Uncertainty propagation: total_least_squares + errors-in-variables for gain/beam/bandpass drifts.
6. Hierarchical Bayes (MCMC) stratified by band/mask/index; Gelman–Rubin/IAT diagnostics;
7. Robustness: k = 5 cross-validation.

VI. Overall Assessment

Strengths

1. Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) jointly captures the co-evolution of ΔT_layer/δT0/T0—μ/y—damping tail—kSZ/TSZ—lensing—spectral micro-drift, with physically interpretable parameters—actionable for integrated absolute spectra × multi-band anisotropy × velocity/lensing cross strategies.
2. Mechanistic identifiability: strong posteriors for γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/β_TPR/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL and ψ_layer/ψ_len/ψ_kSZ/ζ_topo separate layer injection, lensing/velocity couplings, and network reconfiguration.
3. Operational utility: on-line J_Path/G_env/σ_env calibration with harmonic demodulation + template marginalization quickly locates z_c/Δz and quantifies inter-band zero-point drift Δn_ν.

Limitations

1. At high frequencies (≥353 GHz), foreground/beam mixing with the layer term remains significant; stronger multi-band foreground separation and beam-evolution modeling are needed.
2. Low-frequency absolute calibration and antenna-temperature non-idealities can degenerate with δT0/T0; cross-calibration and improved absolute references are required.

Falsification Line & Observational Suggestions

1. Falsification. See the falsification_line in the front matter.
2. Recommendations:
   • (z × ν) heatmaps: chart A_layer·S(z)·(ν/ν0)^{β_ν} and test linear covariance with μ0/y0/A_highℓ.
   • kSZ–lensing linkage: jointly fit kSZ×ΔT_layer and TT×φ with cluster samples to tighten ψ_kSZ/ψ_len.
   • Absolute–relative fusion calibration: combine FIRAS/PIXIE absolute spectra with Planck/ACT/SPT relative anisotropies to suppress systematics in δT0/T0 and Δn_ν.
   • 21 cm priors: inject high-z priors from 21 cm global spectra to anchor the layering tail at z ≳ 5.
