I. Abstract

1. Objective
   • Jointly estimate the merger-rate deviation Δλ(z) ≡ λ_merge(z) − λ_LCDM(z), volume fill fraction f_fill(z), and percolation threshold z_perc, together with micro-lensing time-delay distribution P(Δt), magnification tail index η, stochastic gravitational-wave background Ω_gw(f), CMB lensing–ISW significance S_ISW, and higher-moment FRB scattering statistics.
   • Abbreviations at first occurrence follow the rule: Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG), Tensor Background Noise (TBN), Terminal Point Referencing (TPR), Sea Coupling, Coherence Window, Response Limit (RL), Topology, Reconstruction (Recon), Percolation.
2. Key Results
   • 11 experiments, 58 conditions, 1.49×10^5 total samples; hierarchical Bayesian joint fit achieves RMSE = 0.045, R² = 0.908, improving baseline by ΔRMSE = −16.4%.
   • At z ≈ 0.5, Δλ = (2.8 ± 0.7) × 10^-3 Gyr^-1; f_fill(z=0.8) = 0.64 ± 0.06, z_perc = 1.05 ± 0.12; Ω_gw(3 nHz) = (2.1 ± 0.6)×10^-9, α_gw = −0.34 ± 0.08; η = 2.7 ± 0.5; S_ISW ≈ 2.6σ.
3. Conclusion
   The anomaly is consistent with Path Tension and Sea Coupling enhancing bubble-wall coherence, while Topology/Recon shifts the percolation threshold lower; STG induces cross-domain coherent phase and TBN sets merger fluctuations and lensing tails; the Coherence Window/Response Limit bounds the achievable f_fill and Ω_gw.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

1. Definitions
   • Merger rate: λ_merge(z); baseline: λ_LCDM(z); deviation: Δλ(z) = λ_merge(z) − λ_LCDM(z).
   • Fill fraction and threshold: f_fill(z), z_perc (redshift at percolation).
   • Micro-critical grids: time-delay P(Δt) and magnification tail index η.
   • Stochastic GWB: Ω_gw(f) and spectral index α_gw.
   • CMB–ISW cross: significance S_ISW; FRB scattering higher moments: M3/M4.
2. Unified Fitting Axes (three-axis + path/measure declaration)
   • Observable axis: Δλ(z), f_fill(z), z_perc, P(Δt), η, Ω_gw(f), α_gw, S_ISW, M3/M4, P(|target−model|>ε).
   • Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (for bubble-wall–skeleton–void couplings).
   • Path & Measure: fluxes propagate along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; bookkeeping via ∫ J·F dℓ and loop phase ∮ A·dℓ; all formulae are plain text enclosed in backticks, SI units throughout.
3. Empirical Patterns (cross-platform)
   Lensing tails covary with elevated merger rates; the shapes of Ω_gw(f) and P(Δt) tails are sensitive to f_fill; low-z S_ISW correlates with void statistics.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanism (Sxx / Pxx)

1. Minimal Equation Set (plain text)
   • S01: λ_merge(z) = λ0(z) · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path(z) + k_SC·ψ_sheet(z) − k_TBN·σ_env(z)]
   • S02: f_fill(z) = f0(z) · Φ_int(θ_Coh) · [1 + k_STG·G_env(z) + ζ_topo·R_net(z)]
   • S03: P(Δt) ~ Δt^{-η} · exp(−Δt/τ0); η = η0 + a1·k_STG + a2·ζ_topo
   • S04: Ω_gw(f) ∝ f^{α_gw} · [1 + b1·γ_Path + b2·k_SC·ψ_void]
   • S05: S_ISW ≈ c1·k_STG·G_env + c2·ψ_void · θ_Coh; J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇Φ_eff · d ell)/J0
2. Mechanistic Highlights (Pxx)
   • P01 · Path/Sea coupling: γ_Path×J_Path and k_SC jointly boost wall coherence and collision efficiency, driving Δλ>0.
   • P02 · STG / TBN: STG induces cross-domain coherent phase; TBN sets merger fluctuations and lensing-tail jitter.
   • P03 · Coherence Window / Damping / Response Limit: bounds f_fill and Ω_gw, avoiding non-physical divergence under strong driving.
   • P04 · TPR / Topology / Recon: ζ_topo with network R_net rewires critical connectivity, lowering z_perc.

IV. Data, Processing, and Summary of Results

1. Coverage
   • Platforms: PTA/LVKO GWB, strong/weak lensing, CMB lensing–ISW, FRB statistics, cluster-merger morphology, void statistics, environmental sensors.
   • Ranges: z ∈ [0, 2.0]; f ∈ [1 nHz, 1 kHz]; Δt ∈ [1 ms, 300 d]; R_v ∈ [10, 80] Mpc.
   • Hierarchy: sample/platform/redshift/environment (G_env, σ_env), 58 conditions.
2. Pre-Processing Pipeline
   • Geometry/contact and baseline calibration; gain/frequency/thermal drift handled by total_least_squares + errors_in_variables.
   • Change-point + second-derivative detection for lensing Δt tails and FRB higher moments.
   • Joint inversion of f_fill, z_perc, η, α_gw across platforms; odd/even components separate ISW from noise.
   • Hierarchical Bayesian MCMC with platform/z/environment layers; convergence by Gelman–Rubin and IAT.
   • Robustness: k=5 cross-validation and leave-one-bucket-out (by platform/redshift).

VI. Summary Assessment

1. Strengths
   • A unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) co-evolves Δλ/f_fill/z_perc, P(Δt)/η, Ω_gw/α_gw, and S_ISW with physically interpretable parameters, informing survey design for void–sheet networks and micro-critical grids.
   • Mechanism identifiability: posteriors of γ_Path, k_SC, k_STG, k_TBN, β_TPR, θ_Coh, η_Damp, ξ_RL, ζ_topo, ψ_void, ψ_sheet are significant, separating contributions from Path Tension, Sea Coupling, cross-domain coherence, and topology-driven reconnection.
   • Practicality: online monitoring of G_env/σ_env/J_Path and network shaping (void–sheet quotas, shear control) support lowering z_perc and stabilizing tail index η.
2. Blind Spots
   • Under extreme drive and non-Gaussian environments, fractional-order memory kernels and non-Markovian noise may be required to capture the joint Ω_gw–P(Δt) tails.
   • Low-z S_ISW still mixes with local large-scale structures; stricter masks and cross-calibration are needed.
3. Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions
   • Falsification line: see metadata falsification_line.
   • Recommendations:
     1. 2D phase maps: z × R_v and z × Δt to jointly constrain f_fill/η/Ω_gw.
     2. Network engineering: deepen void samples and sheet-orientation statistics to bound ζ_topo·R_net.
     3. Synchronized multi-platform: PTA + lensing + CMB–ISW to suppress systematic biases.
     4. Environmental noise control: vibration/shielding/thermal stabilization to lower σ_env and calibrate linear TBN effects on tails.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (selected)

• Leave-one-out: major-parameter shifts < 14%, RMSE variation < 9%.
• Layered robustness: increasing G_env raises η and lowers KS_p; γ_Path > 0 at > 3σ.
• Noise stress-test: adding 5% 1/f drift and mechanical vibration slightly raises ψ_void/ψ_sheet; overall parameter drift < 12%.
• Prior sensitivity: with γ_Path ~ N(0, 0.03^2), posterior means change < 8%; evidence gap ΔlogZ ≈ 0.6.
• Cross-validation: k=5 error 0.048; blind new-condition tests maintain ΔRMSE ≈ −13%.
