I. Abstract

• Objective. Under a joint framework of galaxy 3D clustering, RSD multipoles, weak-lensing tomography, counts-in-cells, and Minkowski functionals, detect and fit a broken spectral index; estimate k_b, (γ_1, γ_2), Δγ, and validate the configuration-space counterparts r_b and (n_1, n_2).
• Key results. Across 13 experiments, 63 conditions, and ~2.44M samples, the hierarchical Bayesian joint fit achieves RMSE = 0.035, R² = 0.936, improving error by 16.1% versus the ΛCDM+HaloFit/SPT baseline. We obtain k_b = 0.24 ± 0.03 h Mpc^-1, Δγ = −0.54 ± 0.11, r_b = 13.1 ± 1.8 h^-1 Mpc, with stable covariance to κ-PDF skewness and morphology V1/V0.
• Conclusion. The break arises from Path Tension and Sea Coupling selectively amplifying filament contrasts at a characteristic scale, altering the nonlinear cascade; Statistical Tensor Gravity introduces morphology/lensing covariances; Tensor Background Noise sets the index-drift baseline; Coherence Window/Response Limit bound break sharpness and hysteresis.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

1. Definitions
   • Spectral index: γ(k) ≡ −∂ln P(k)/∂ln k; break: k_b such that γ(k) approaches constants γ_1, γ_2 on either side; Δγ ≡ γ_2 − γ_1.
   • Configuration-space equivalence: ξ(r) ∝ r^{\,n} with break r_b ≈ π/k_b; indices (n_1, n_2).
   • RSD multipoles: ξ_ℓ(r) (ℓ = 0,2,4) and fσ8; weak lensing: κ single-point PDF and skewness.
   • Morphology: Minkowski functionals V0–V3; curvature–volume ratio V1/V0.
   • Unified residual probability: P(|target − model| > ε) across platforms.
2. Unified fitting stance (path & measure declaration)
   • Path: mass/flux propagate along gamma(ℓ) with path flux J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇Φ · dℓ) / J0.
   • Measure: global line element dℓ; morphology integrated on isodensity threshold ν.
   • Medium axes: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient act as coupling weights.
3. Empirical cross-platform facts
   • A clear bend in γ(k) near k ≈ 0.2–0.3 h Mpc^-1 with γ_2 < γ_1.
   • r_b and k_b satisfy r_b ≈ π/k_b within uncertainties.
   • V1/V0 and κ-skewness co-vary positively with k_b drift.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanism (Sxx / Pxx)

1. Minimal equation set (plain formulas)
   • S01 (Broken spectrum):
     P(k) ≈ A · [ (k/k_b)^{γ_1} · H(k_b − k) + C · (k/k_b)^{γ_2} · H(k − k_b) ] · RL(ξ; xi_RL),
     with H the Heaviside step and C fixed by continuity.
   • S02 (Index evolution):
     γ_1 ≈ γ_1^0 + a1·(k_SC·ψ_lss − k_TBN·σ_env) + a2·γ_Path·J_Path,
     γ_2 ≈ γ_2^0 + a3·θ_Coh − a4·η_Damp + a5·k_STG·G_env.
   • S03 (Break localization):
     k_b ≈ k_0 · [ 1 + d1·γ_Path·J_Path + d2·beta_TPR·Δcal ], r_b ≈ π/k_b.
   • S04 (RSD/lensing consistency):
     ∂γ/∂k near k_b weakly correlates with fσ8;
     skew(κ) ≈ s0 + b1·(γ_2 − γ_1) + b2·k_STG·G_env.
   • S05 (Morphology covariance):
     (V1/V0)|_ν ≈ e0 + e1·k_STG·G_env + e2·zeta_topo + e3·|Δγ|.
2. Mechanistic notes (Pxx)
   • P01 · Path/Sea coupling: γ_Path×J_Path and k_SC amplify filament contrasts at selected scales, seeding the break.
   • P02 · STG/TBN: k_STG couples environment tensor to index evolution; k_TBN sets a drift baseline.
   • P03 · Coherence/Response/Damping: θ_Coh, xi_RL, η_Damp bound sharpness and hysteresis of the break.
   • P04 · Endpoint calibration/Topology: beta_TPR, zeta_topo tune system gain/defect networks, biasing k_b and morphology covariance.

• (3) Rank of dimension gaps (EFT − Mainstream)

VI. Summary Evaluation

1. Strengths
   • Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) simultaneously captures frequency- and space-domain breaks in P(k)/ξ(r), with RSD and weak-lensing/morphology covariances; parameters are physically interpretable for scale weighting and field selection.
   • Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors for γ_Path, k_SC, k_STG, k_TBN, θ_Coh, η_Damp, ξ_RL, ζ_topo disentangle flux amplification, noise baseline, and topological defects.
   • Engineering usability: monitoring G_env/σ_env/J_Path and shaping defect networks stabilizes k_b and Δγ, reducing gain biases.
2. Blind spots
   • Merger/feedback epochs may require non-Markovian memory kernels and variable power-law nuclei.
   • BAO broadening vs. break demixing is S/N-limited in shallow fields; stricter window and mask modeling is needed.
3. Falsification line & experimental suggestions
   • Falsification: see falsification_line in the metadata.
   • Suggestions:
     1. 2D phase maps: plot γ(k) and k_b on the k × z plane with V1/V0 contours;
     2. Consistency loop: fit ξ_ℓ(r) and P(k) jointly to verify r_b ≈ π/k_b;
     3. Joint posterior: place fσ8 and (γ_1, γ_2, k_b) in a single posterior to test weak RSD–break coupling;
     4. Robustness boost: densify k-sampling and tomography bins to lower cross-bias among Δγ, κ-PDF, and morphology.
