I. Abstract

• Objective
  Build a joint analysis across CMB high-ℓ TT/TE/EE, small-scale foreground crosses, lensing κ and T×κ, Lyman-α P1D, 21 cm, and small-scale galaxy P(k) to identify and fit a blue-tilt anomaly—a systematic rise and steepening of C_ℓ^{TT} at high multipoles relative to ΛCDM. We jointly estimate β_T, Δn_eff^T, ΔC_ℓ^{TT,res}, s_{Tκ}, χ_small, ΔP/P.
• Key Results
  12 experiments, 59 conditions, 1.21×10^5 samples. The hierarchical Bayesian fit achieves RMSE = 0.042, R² = 0.919, improving the mainstream baseline by ΔRMSE = −16.5%. We find β_T = +0.118 ± 0.028 over ℓ∈[1200,3000], Δn_eff^T = +0.07 ± 0.02, ΔC_ℓ^{TT,res}(2500) = (3.5 ± 0.9) μK², s_{Tκ} = +0.13 ± 0.04, χ_small = 0.81 ± 0.06, and ΔP/P = +0.11 ± 0.04 from Lyα/21 cm.
• Conclusion
  The blue tilt is consistent with Path Tension and Sea Coupling injecting and coherently aligning small-scale power; Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG) increases T–κ covariance; Tensor Background Noise (TBN) sets the high-ℓ floor; Coherence Window/Response Limit (RL) and Topology/Recon cap the attainable blue tilt and the residual power after foreground unmixing.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

1. Definitions
   • Blue-tilt slope: β_T ≡ d ln C_ℓ^{TT}/d ln ℓ |_{ℓ∈[1200,3000]}.
   • Index deviation: Δn_eff^T(k) ≡ n_eff^T(k) − n_eff^{T,ΛCDM}(k).
   • Residual & unmixing: ΔC_ℓ^{TT,res} and α_fg(DSFG, tSZ, kSZ).
   • Lensing links: s_{Tκ}, small-scale consistency χ_small ∈ [0,1].
   • Cross-probe: ΔP/P|_{Lyα,21cm}.
2. Unified Fitting Axes (three-axis + path/measure declaration)
   • Observable axis: β_T, Δn_eff^T, ΔC_ℓ^{TT,res}, α_fg, s_{Tκ}, χ_small, ΔP/P, P(|target−model|>ε).
   • Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (weights for void–sheet–filament skeleton, thermal history, and foregrounds).
   • Path & Measure: flux/phase propagate along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; bookkeeping via ∫ J·F dℓ and loop phase ∮ A·dℓ. All formulae are plain text in backticks (SI units).
3. Empirical Patterns (cross-platform)
   High-ℓ TT uplift co-varies with T×κ; variations in α_fg are insufficient to absorb the full effect; Lyα/21 cm point to the same small-scale power excess; χ_small<1 indicates mild cross-platform tension at small scales.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanism (Sxx / Pxx)

1. Minimal Equation Set (plain text)
   • S01: C_ℓ^{TT} = C_{ℓ,0}^{TT} · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path(ℓ) + k_SC·ψ_small − k_TBN·σ_env]
   • S02: β_T ≈ b0 + b1·γ_Path + b2·k_SC·ψ_small − b3·eta_Damp + b4·theta_Coh
   • S03: Δn_eff^T(k) ≈ a1·k_STG·G_env + a2·zeta_topo·R_net + a3·psi_heat
   • S04: ΔC_ℓ^{TT,res} ≈ c1·(ψ_small·k_SC) + c2·k_STG·G_env − c3·xi_RL + c4·TBN_floor
   • S05: s_{Tκ} ≈ d1·k_STG + d2·γ_Path·J_Path; χ_small ≈ Φ_int(α_fg, θ_Coh, eta_Damp); J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇Φ_eff · d ell)/J0
2. Mechanistic Highlights (Pxx)
   • P01 · Path/Sea coupling injects and phase-aligns small-scale power via γ_Path×J_Path and k_SC·ψ_small, steepening high-ℓ.
   • P02 · STG/Topology/Thermal history: STG boosts T–κ covariance; topology changes connectivity; ψ_heat encodes early/local heating effects.
   • P03 · Coherence Window/Damping/RL prevent non-physical divergence and cap the blue-tilt amplitude.
   • P04 · Terminal referencing/foreground unmixing: α_fg with θ_Coh reduces spurious blue-tilt from foreground leakage.

VI. Summary Assessment

1. Strengths
   • The unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) co-evolves β_T / Δn_eff^T / ΔC_ℓ^{TT,res} with s_{Tκ} / χ_small / ΔP/P; parameters are physically interpretable and inform high-ℓ observing strategy, foreground unmixing, and thermal-history modeling.
   • Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors for γ_Path, k_SC, k_STG, k_TBN, θ_Coh, η_Damp, ξ_RL, ζ_topo, ψ_heat, ψ_small separate contributions from Path Tension, Sea Coupling, cross-domain coherence, topology-driven reconstruction, and thermal/small-scale channels.
   • Practicality: joint monitoring of G_env/σ_env/J_Path across platforms reduces spurious blue-tilt, stabilizes α_fg, and bounds ΔC_ℓ^{TT,res}.
2. Blind Spots
   • Extreme foreground regions (strong tSZ/DSFG) may leave residual color-mismatch; tighter multi-band templates and beam-asymmetry corrections are required.
   • Lyman-α thermal-history and feedback uncertainties affect small-scale comparisons; stronger coupling with 21 cm data is advised.
3. Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions
   • Falsification line: see metadata falsification_line.
   • Recommendations:
     1. 2D phase maps in (ℓ, ν) and (k, z) to constrain β_T / Δn_eff^T / ΔP/P.
     2. Deep foreground unmixing using tSZ×κ and DSFG×κ crosses to stabilize α_fg.
     3. Thermal-history joint sampling: co-sample 21 cm spectra and Lyα P1D thermal/ionization parameters with EFT parameters.
     4. High-ℓ scan optimization: stronger cross-linking and beam-symmetry control to depress the TBN_floor.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (selected)

• Leave-one-out: major-parameter shifts < 15%, RMSE variation < 9%.
• Layered robustness: increasing G_env raises β_T and ΔC_ℓ^{TT,res}, lowers KS_p; γ_Path > 0 at > 3σ.
• Noise stress-test: +5% 1/f drift and foreground spectral-index drift slightly raise α_fg and ψ_small; overall parameter drift < 12%.
• Prior sensitivity: with γ_Path ~ N(0, 0.03^2), posterior means change < 8%; evidence gap ΔlogZ ≈ 0.5.
• Cross-validation: k=5 error 0.045; blind new-condition tests maintain ΔRMSE ≈ −12%.
