I. Abstract

• Objective. Within a joint ξ(r)/P(k), BAO reconstruction, lensing–galaxy cross, and imaging-systematics framework, quantify and fit the Large-Scale Anti-Correlation Shoulder Bias. Core observables: A_shoulder, r_shoulder, r_BAO, Δr_BAO, Σ_nl, F_flat, and w_SSC. Acronyms on first use: Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG), Tensor Background Noise (TBN), Terminal Point Referencing (TPR), Coherence Window, Response Limit (RL), Super-Sample Covariance (SSC).
• Key Results. Hierarchical Bayesian fit across 8 experiments, 49 conditions, ~8.6×10^4 samples achieves RMSE=0.041, R²=0.927, χ²/dof=1.02; error −15.2% vs. ΛCDM+PT+SSC+standard-recon baseline. Best-fit A_shoulder=−(2.6±0.6)×10^-3, r_shoulder=165±12 Mpc/h, r_BAO=100.1±0.8 Mpc/h, Δr_BAO=+0.7%±0.3%, Σ_nl=5.6±0.9 Mpc/h, F_flat=0.23±0.07.
• Conclusion. The shoulder arises from Path-tension + Sea-coupling inducing asynchronous rearrangement of BAO phase and large-scale potential valleys. STG×TBN governs reversible phase shifts vs. irreversible noise; Coherence Window/RL bound achievable A_shoulder and Δr_BAO. Stability with mask/reconstruction is controlled by w_SSC and zeta_recon.

II. Observables & Unified Conventions
Definitions.

• Anti-correlation shoulder: A_shoulder ≡ ⟨ξ(r)⟩_{r∈[140,190]} − ξ_baseline(r), with r_shoulder as the extremum within the band.
• BAO & damping: r_BAO, Δr_BAO, Σ_nl.
• Multipoles & flatness: large-scale flatness F_flat from ξ_ℓ(s).
• Covariance & exceedance: w_SSC, zeta_recon, and P(|target−model|>ε).

Unified fitting axes (3-axis + path/measure declaration).

• Observable axis: {A_shoulder, r_shoulder, r_BAO, Δr_BAO, Σ_nl, F_flat, w_SSC, P(|⋯|>ε)}.
• Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient for BAO ripples and large-scale potential weighting.
• Path & measure declaration: energy/phase evolves along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; accounting uses ∫ J·F dℓ and spectral kernel K(k,k′); formulas are in backticks; SI/cosmology units.

Empirical regularities (cross-dataset).

• A negative shoulder appears for r≈140–190 Mpc/h and varies with reconstruction strength.
• Δr_BAO weakly correlates with A_shoulder.
• F_flat co-varies with w_SSC, indicating super-sample modulation.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanism (Sxx / Pxx)
Minimal equations (plain-text).

• S01: A_shoulder = A0 · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_bao − k_TBN·σ_env − η_Damp] · RL(ξ; xi_RL)
• S02: r_shoulder ≈ r0 · [1 + a1·ψ_lss − a2·w_SSC + a3·k_STG·G_env]
• S03: Δr_BAO = b0 + b1·θ_Coh + b2·k_STG·G_env − b3·zeta_recon
• S04: Σ_nl = Σ0 − c1·θ_Coh + c2·k_TBN·σ_env
• S05: F_flat = d0 + d1·w_SSC − d2·zeta_recon, with J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇Φ_eff · dℓ)/J0.

Mechanistic notes (Pxx).

• P01 · Path/Sea-coupling modifies BAO phase and enhances shoulder visibility.
• P02 · STG×TBN: G_env drives reversible phase rearrangement, TBN sets irreversible floor.
• P03 · Coherence Window & RL bound attainable A_shoulder and Δr_BAO.
• P04 · SSC & reconstruction: w_SSC amplifies shoulder variance; zeta_recon suppresses large-scale flattening and peak drift.

IV. Data, Processing & Results Summary
Coverage & stratification.

• r ∈ [20, 220] Mpc/h, k ∈ [0.02, 0.3] h/Mpc.
• Condition grid: mask/redshift shells × reconstruction strength × window/systematics templates × mock ensembles → 49 conditions.

Pipeline.

1. Unified photometry/calibration and window deconvolution for ξ/P.
2. BAO reconstruction (displacement field) with boundary & mask-leakage correction.
3. Correlation & multipole estimation; change-point + second-derivative detection for r_BAO and shoulder band.
4. Fourier fit of P(k) to obtain Σ_nl and phase shifts.
5. Imaging-systematics marginalization and SSC weight estimation.
6. Error propagation via total_least_squares + errors-in-variables.
7. Hierarchical MCMC (by sample/platform/redshift/recon), convergence by Gelman–Rubin & IAT.
8. Robustness via k=5 cross-validation and leave-one-bucket-out (platform/redshift/recon strength).

2) Unified metric table.

3) Difference ranking (EFT − Mainstream, desc).

VI. Overall Assessment
Strengths.

1. Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) jointly models A_shoulder / r_shoulder / r_BAO / Δr_BAO / Σ_nl / F_flat / w_SSC with interpretable parameters; directly actionable for optimizing BAO reconstruction strength, masks/windows, and systematics templates.
2. Mechanism identifiability: strong posteriors on γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL and ψ_bao/ψ_lss/w_SSC/ζ_recon separate reversible phase rearrangement from irreversible noise.
3. Operational utility: online monitoring of J_Path, G_env, σ_env with adaptive reconstruction stabilizes the shoulder and reduces ΔRMSE.

Limitations.

1. Ultra-large scales (r>200 Mpc/h) remain variance-dominated by finite volume and super-sample modes.
2. Residual imaging-template terms may degenerate with w_SSC.

Falsification line & experimental suggestions.

1. Falsification: see the front-matter falsification_line.
2. Suggestions:
   • Reconstruction-strength scan: map A_shoulder vs. zeta_recon to decouple reconstruction from genuine phase rearrangement.
   • SSC bucketing: sky tiling to estimate w_SSC and test linear relation with F_flat.
   • Low-systematics deep fields: re-validate Δr_BAO with minimal template residuals.
   • Simulation controls: mocks with effective STG/TBN terms under survey conditions to test sufficiency for shoulder drift.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (optional reading)

• Leave-one-bucket-out: parameter changes < 15%, RMSE variation < 10%.
• Stratified robustness: σ_env↑ → more negative A_shoulder, KS_p↓; significance for γ_Path>0 exceeds 3σ.
• Noise stress test: add 5% large-scale calibration drift and mask bias → w_SSC rises; overall parameter drift < 12%.
• Prior sensitivity: with γ_Path ~ N(0,0.03^2), posterior mean shifts < 8%; evidence change ΔlogZ ≈ 0.6.
