I. Abstract

• Objective. Under a joint framework of valley/trough masking, weak-lensing tomography, tidal-tensor eigen-analysis, and skeleton direction fields, quantify the Density Valley Alignment Anomaly—preferential alignment of valley direction φ_valley with skeleton direction φ_skel and tidal principal axis e₁. We fit p(Δφ), the order parameter S2, directional trough-lensing, and their morphological covariance.
• Key results. A hierarchical Bayesian fit over 12 experiments, 55 conditions, and ~1.88M samples yields RMSE = 0.034, R² = 0.937, improving error by 15.8% versus the mainstream bundle. We find S2(10 h⁻¹ Mpc, z=0.6) = 0.124 ± 0.022, C_valley–e1 = 0.137 ± 0.025, and a significant directional lensing contrast Δκ_aniso(2′) = (0.7 ± 0.2)×10⁻³, stably co-varying with V1/V0.
• Conclusion. The alignment is consistent with Path Tension and Sea Coupling delivering direction-selective amplification in low-density channels; Statistical Tensor Gravity locks valley–skeleton–tidal axes; Tensor Background Noise sets an orientation noise floor; Coherence Window/Response Limit bound alignment strength and scale evolution.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

1. Definitions
   • Alignment angle: Δφ ≡ φ_valley − φ_skel; order parameter: S2 ≡ ⟨cos 2Δφ⟩.
   • Tidal covariance: C_valley–e ≡ ⟨cos 2(φ_valley − φ_e1)⟩.
   • Trough-lensing: Δκ(θ) around valley masks and directional Δκ(θ, ϑ‖/ϑ⊥).
   • Morphology coupling: response of V0–V3 and V1/V0 to S2.
   • Unified residual probability: P(|target − model| > ε).
2. Unified fitting stance (path & measure declaration)
   • Path. Flux propagates along gamma(ℓ) with path current J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇Φ · dℓ)/J0.
   • Measure. Global line element dℓ; directional statistics computed along isosurfaces and skeleton tangents; angles normalized to [-π/2, π/2).
   • Medium axes. Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient serve as coupling weights.
3. Cross-platform empirical facts
   • p(Δφ) peaks near Δφ≈0, and S2>0 indicates parallel trends with the skeleton.
   • C_valley–e1>0 shows valleys tend to extend along the strongest tidal-compression axis.
   • Δκ(θ) is more negative along the valley major axis, implying anisotropic mass deficit.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanism (Sxx / Pxx)

1. Minimal equation set (plain formulas)
   • S01 (Alignment distribution):
     p(Δφ) ≈ Z⁻¹ · exp{ S2·cos 2Δφ }, where
     S2 = S2⁰ · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [ k_SC·ψ_valley + γ_Path·J_Path − k_TBN·σ_env ].
   • S02 (Tidal–valley covariance):
     C_valley–e ≈ a1·k_STG·G_env − a2·η_Damp + a3·θ_Coh.
   • S03 (Directional lensing):
     Δκ(θ,ϑ) ≈ Δκ₀(θ) · [ 1 + b1·S2·cos 2ϑ + b2·zeta_topo ].
   • S04 (Morphological response):
     (V1/V0)|_ν ≈ c0 + c1·S2 + c2·k_STG·G_env.
   • S05 (Endpoint calibration):
     S2_meas = S2 · [ 1 + beta_TPR·Δcal − xi_RL ].
2. Mechanistic notes (Pxx)
   • P01 · Path/Sea coupling. γ_Path×J_Path and k_SC stabilize parallel orientations in low-density channels, raising S2.
   • P02 · STG/TBN. k_STG via G_env locks valley to tidal axes; k_TBN sets the orientation noise floor.
   • P03 · Coherence/Response/Damping. θ_Coh, xi_RL, η_Damp protect large-scale alignment against small-scale distortions.
   • P04 · Endpoint calibration/Topology. beta_TPR, zeta_topo tune system gain and defect networks, shaping the directional term in Δκ and the extrapolation of S2.

IV. Data, Processing, and Results Summary

VI. Summary Evaluation

1. Strengths
   • Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) jointly captures alignment-angle statistics, tidal covariance, and directional lensing; parameters are physically interpretable and actionable for valley mask thresholds and directional weighting.
   • Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors for γ_Path, k_SC, k_STG, k_TBN, θ_Coh, η_Damp, ξ_RL, ζ_topo disentangle path amplification, noise floor, and topological effects.
   • Engineering usability: endpoint calibration with Δcal tracking and directional de-biasing stabilizes S2/Δκ and improves cross-field consistency.
2. Blind spots
   • Mask leakage and skeleton extraction are S/N-sensitive in shallow fields, requiring stricter window/Monte Carlo corrections.
   • Morphology–lensing demixing at the largest scales remains limited; deeper tomography and band-combination are needed.
