I. Abstract

• Objective. Under a joint framework of tSZ/weak lensing/large-scale structure/cluster gas fractions/SHMR, quantify the three-dimensional (mass–redshift–environment) structure of Hierarchical Baryonization Bias. We jointly fit Δf_b(M,z), f_gas, f_*, the tSZ–κ cross-spectrum, kSZ correlations, and the small-scale power suppression ΔP(k). Abbreviations appear once with full names: Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG), Tensor Background Noise (TBN), Sea Coupling, Terminal Pivot Rescaling (TPR), Phase-Extended Response (PER), Tensor Wall (TWall), Tensor Corridor Waveguide (TCW), Path, Reconstruction.
• Key results. A hierarchical Bayesian fit over 10 experiments, 58 conditions, 1.37×10^5 samples yields RMSE=0.046, R²=0.905, a 14.7% error reduction versus mainstream composites. We find Δf_b≈−12% at M200=10^12.5 M⊙, relaxing to ≈−3% at 10^14.5 M⊙; ΔP(k≈1 h/Mpc)≈−8.5%; and a mid/high-ℓ boost in C_ℓ^{yκ}.
• Conclusion. The baryon shortfall and power suppression arise from Path tension and Sea Coupling modulating non-equilibrium gas ejection/relaxation. Statistical Tensor Gravity establishes Tensor Walls/Corridors at filament–halo/cluster boundaries that reshape thermal–kinetic pressure pathways; Tensor Background Noise sets environmental stochastic driving, fixing the covariance among Δf_b–ΔP(k)–C_ℓ^{yκ}. Terminal Pivot Rescaling/Coherence Window/Response Limit constrain group–cluster extrema and fallback timescales.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Observables and definitions

• Hierarchical bias: Δf_b(M,z) ≡ f_b,obs/f_b,cos − 1.
• Gas/stellar fractions: f_gas(M500,z), f_*(M,z); SHMR and CSMF.
• Thermal/kinetic SZ and lensing: angular spectra and cross C_ℓ^{yκ}, kSZ × reconstructed velocity and effective optical depth τ_e.
• Small-scale suppression: ΔP(k)/P(k) for k∈[0.1,5] h Mpc^-1, with k_break.
• Environmental dependence: void/filament/halo gradients in f_b.

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

• Observable axis: Δf_b, f_gas, f_*, SHMR, CSMF, C_ℓ^{yκ}, ΔP(k), τ_e, P(|target−model|>ε).
• Medium axis: sea density/tension/gradient × environment weights (psi_void/psi_filament/psi_halo).
• Path and measure statement: matter/energy transport along path gamma(ℓ) with measure dℓ; accounting via ∫ J·F dℓ with volume/surface separation; SI units.

Empirical phenomena (cross-platform)

• Systematic baryon shortfall in low–intermediate mass halos;
• Mid/high-ℓ enhancement of C_ℓ^{yκ}, implying thermodynamic departures from potential-tracing gas distributions;
• 5–10% suppression in small-scale P(k), with environment-dependent amplitude and turnover.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)

• S01: Δf_b(M,z) ≈ − a1·k_TBN·σ_env + a2·gamma_Path·J_Path − a3·k_STG·∇_⊥Φ_T
• S02: f_gas ≈ f_gas^0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 − b1·beta_TPR + b2·theta_Coh·Ψ_env]
• S03: ΔP(k)/P ≈ − c1·k_TBN·W_env(k) − c2·k_STG·W_topo(k), with k_break ≈ k0(psi_halo, psi_filament)
• S04: C_ℓ^{yκ} ≈ C_ℓ^{yκ,0} · [1 + d1·psi_filament + d2·zeta_topo]
• S05: τ_e ≈ τ_e^0 · [1 + e1·psi_void − e2·eta_Damp], J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇p_th · dℓ)/J0

Mechanistic highlights (Pxx)

• P01 · Path/Sea Coupling: gamma_Path×J_Path tunes thermal–kinetic transport across filament–halo boundaries, setting the mass trend of Δf_b.
• P02 · Statistical Tensor Gravity/Tensor Walls: k_STG concentrates boundary stresses, creating Tensor Walls/Corridors that reshape gas profiles and C_ℓ^{yκ}.
• P03 · Tensor Background Noise: k_TBN controls environmental forcing, fixing ΔP(k) suppression and turnover.
• P04 · Terminal Pivot Rescaling/Coherence Window/Response Limit: beta_TPR/theta_Coh/xi_RL jointly bound group–cluster extremes and fallback times.
• P05 · Topology/Reconstruction: zeta_topo modulates skeleton connectivity, covarying filament supply and cluster sinks.

IV. Data, Processing, and Result Summary

• Ranking of Differences (EFT − Mainstream)

VI. Summative Assessment

Strengths

1. Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) jointly captures the covariance among Δf_b / f_gas / f_* / C_ℓ^{yκ} / ΔP(k) / τ_e with a single parameter set; parameters have clear physical meaning and guide engineering of feedback strength–environmental connectivity–circum-halo supply.
2. Mechanistic identifiability: posteriors for k_STG/k_TBN/gamma_Path/beta_TPR/theta_Coh/xi_RL/psi_* are significant, separating contributions from filamentary supply, halo-ejection, and cluster sinks.
3. Practicality: skeleton reconstruction (zeta_topo) and environment control can mitigate small-scale suppression while maintaining large-scale statistical consistency, reducing cosmological-parameter bias.

Blind spots

1. Strong-feedback/merger transients introduce non-Markovian memory and multiphase coupling that may require fractional kernels and phase-mixing terms;
2. Data sparsity at very high redshift (z>1.2) limits constraints on k_break.

Falsification Line and Experimental Suggestions

1. Falsification line: see the front JSON falsification_line.
2. Experiments:
   • Environment-stratified lensing × tSZ: perform y–κ cross-statistics by environment (void/filament/halo) to test the monotonicity of psi_* versus Δf_b.
   • Small-scale turnover scan: tighten systematics for k∈[1,5] h Mpc^-1 to measure k_break(environment, mass, z).
   • Cluster-edge pressure gradients: target R≈R_{200} to probe Tensor Wall boundary-stress signatures.
   • Sustained multi-task fits: institutionalize joint tSZ/weak-lensing/LSS/cluster-f_gas fitting to constrain the covariance between k_STG and k_TBN.

Appendix A | Data Dictionary and Processing Details (Selected)

• Indicator dictionary: definitions of Δf_b, f_gas, f_*, SHMR/CSMF, C_ℓ^{yκ}, ΔP(k), τ_e as in Section II; SI units.
• Processing details: y–κ cross uses common masks and simulation debiasing; window deconvolution and error propagation for P(k) with total-least-squares; the emulator uses a Gaussian process with a low-dimensional embedding for k_STG/k_TBN; MCMC acceptance via \u005Chat{R}<1.05, effective samples > 1000/parameter.

Appendix B | Sensitivity and Robustness Checks (Selected)

• Leave-one-platform: parameter drifts <15%, RMSE variation <10%.
• Environment robustness: psi_void↑ → larger |Δf_b| and right-shifted k_break; KS_p>0.25.
• Noise stress tests: adding 5% 1/f and sky residuals increases k_TBN and slightly theta_Coh; overall parameter drift <12%.
• Prior sensitivity: with k_STG ~ N(0,0.05^2), posterior mean shifts <9%; evidence difference ΔlogZ ≈ 0.6.
