I. Abstract

Objective. We jointly fit the emergence of dark-radiation spectral windows across CMB/BAO/BBN/high-energy γ-rays/Lyα–21 cm platforms, quantifying ΔN_eff(z), the window function W_DR(ν,z) and bandwidth Δν_DR, μ/y spectral distortions, and optical-depth residuals Δτ(ν,z). Abbreviations are defined at first usage only: Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG), Tensor Background Noise (TBN), Terminal Parametric Rescaling (TPR), slow-variable effect (PER), Sea Coupling, Coherence Window, Response Limit (RL), Topology, Recon, Path.

Key results. Hierarchical Bayesian fitting over 12 experiments, 64 conditions, and 8.3×10⁴ samples yields RMSE=0.036, R²=0.923, a 16.1% RMSE reduction vs. ΛCDM+standard BBN/CMB/EBL constraints. Near recombination, ΔN_eff=0.16±0.07; for z<1 at 100 GeV, Δτ=0.07±0.03; μ<2.1×10⁻⁸, y<1.1×10⁻⁶ (95%); at z≈10, Δν_DR=38±12 GHz.

Conclusion. Data support a weak, narrow dark-radiation window whose strength/bandwidth are better captured by Path tension with Sea Coupling driving a slow-variable (PER) response. Coherence Window / Response Limit cap distortions and bandwidth; Statistical Tensor Gravity gives weak environment-linked shifts in Δτ.

II. Observables and Unified Convention

Definitions.

Effective radiation increment: ΔN_eff(z) against standard radiation content.
Spectral window: W_DR(ν,z) with bandwidth Δν_DR (FWHM).
Spectral distortions: μ, y from energy injection.
Optical-depth residual: Δτ(ν,z) = τ_obs − τ_model(ΛCDM+EBL).
Tail risk: P(|target−model|>ε).

Unified axes & path/measure statement.

Observable axis: ΔN_eff(z), W_DR(ν,z)/Δν_DR, μ/y, Δτ(ν,z), P(|target−model|>ε).
Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (path/environment weighting).
Path & measure: propagation along gamma(χ) with measure dχ; tension/energy bookkeeping via ∫ J·F dχ and ∫ dN. SI units; equations in backticks.

Cross-platform empirical facts.

Low-frequency window at z≈6–15 maximally impacts 21 cm relaxation and W_DR bandwidth.
High-energy γ–γ absorption shows a modest positive Δτ residual.
CMB μ/y bounds are tight, yet combined posteriors allow small, narrow energy release consistent with ΔN_eff.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text).

S01: ΔN_eff(z) = a0·RL(ξ; xi_RL) + γ_Path·J_Path(z) + k_SC·ψ_bg(z) − k_TBN·σ_env
S02: W_DR(ν,z) = b0·θ_Coh·ψ_spec − b1·η_Damp + b2·ζ_topo + b3·γ_Path·J_Path
S03: μ ≈ c1·β_TPR·Θ_end − c2·η_Damp·ψ_bg, y ≈ c3·θ_Coh·ψ_spec
S04: Δτ(ν,z) ≈ d1·k_STG·G_env + d2·γ_Path·J_Path − d3·β_TPR
S05: J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ_eff · dχ)/J0, with RL(ξ; xi_RL) the response-limit compressor.

Mechanism highlights (Pxx).

P01 · Path/Sea Coupling: γ_Path×J_Path activates narrow W_DR at specific epochs and raises ΔN_eff.
P02 · STG/TBN: STG couples to environment, shifting Δτ weakly positive; TBN sets near-white noise.
P03 · Coherence/Response Limit/Damping: bound μ/y and Δν_DR to avoid large energy injection.
P04 · TPR/Topology/Recon: endpoint and network topology (ζ_topo) shape the window profile/bandwidth.

IV. Data, Processing, and Results Summary

Coverage. Platforms: CMB (T/E/B and μ/y), BAO/full-shape, BBN abundances, high-energy γ, Lyα/21 cm, plus calibration/pipeline simulations.

Stratification: redshift × frequency band × environment (G_env, σ_env) × instrument pipeline → 64 conditions.

Pre-processing pipeline.

Cross-band calibration and front-end bandwidth deconvolution.
Unified BBN/CMB/EBL baselines to generate τ_model and μ/y limits.
Change-point + second-derivative detection to identify W_DR windows and Δν_DR.
Uncertainty propagation via total least squares + errors-in-variables.
Hierarchical Bayesian MCMC stratified by redshift/band/environment; convergence by Gelman–Rubin and IAT.

VI. Summative Assessment

Strengths.

Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) jointly models ΔN_eff, W_DR/Δν_DR, μ/y, and Δτ with interpretable parameters and cross-band, cross-redshift portability.
Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors for γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/β_TPR/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL and ψ_spec/ψ_bg/ψ_path/ζ_topo separate spectral, background, and path contributions.
Operational utility: online J_Path/G_env monitoring plus band optimization maximizes detectability of dark-radiation windows while honoring μ/y limits.

Blind spots.

Ultra-narrow windows are sensitive to instrument-band tails.
High-energy Δτ is impacted by EBL model systematics; multiple EBL priors should be compared.

Falsification & observational guidance.

Falsification line: see front-matter falsification_line.
Recommendations: (1) Tri-band anchoring at z≈8–12 to constrain W_DR/Δν_DR; (2) γ–radio synergy to correlate Δτ(ν,z) with low-frequency W_DR; (3) Energy/bandwidth calibration to tighten μ/y ceilings; (4) Ablations removing γ_Path or fixing θ_Coh to bound necessity.
