I. Abstract

A joint phase-template fit of Planck/WMAP/ACT/SPT indicates a systematic positive shift in TE acoustic peaks: Deltaℓ/ℓ_TE ≈ (0.15–0.35)% (equivalently Deltaφ_TE ≈ +0.20°–+0.60°), while the amplitude A_TE is consistent with ΛCDM. The shift concentrates on the 1st–3rd peaks (ℓ ≈ 200–800) and decays at high ℓ.
On top of the standard pseudo-C_ℓ + phase-template framework, four minimal EFT gains enable an auditable split: STG phase micro-tuning epsilon_STG_te (physical phase drift), Path non-dispersive baseline gamma_Path_TE, TBN polarization broadband eta_TBN_pol, and TPR bandpass/gain micro-tuning beta_TPR_bp.
A hierarchical Bayesian + GP smoothing + injection–recovery analysis yields chi2_per_dof ≈ 1 and BiasClosure ≈ 0, delivering survey-portable gates and parameter bounds.

II. Observation Phenomenon Overview

Phenomenon

Peak/zero tracking and local phase-template fits to C_ℓ^TE show coherent positive peak shifts across datasets.
TT/EE peak positions do not show commensurate shifts; TE×φ and lensing consistency hold; TB/EB nulls pass.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanics (Minimal Equations & Structure)

Variables & Parameters
Observables: C_ℓ^TE, peak positions ℓ_p and phases φ_p, scale bias b_TE(ℓ), amplitude A_TE.
EFT gains: epsilon_STG_te, gamma_Path_TE, eta_TBN_pol, beta_TPR_bp.
Minimal Equation Set (Sxx)
S01: C_ℓ^{TE,obs} = M_{ℓℓ'} · C_{ℓ'}^{TE}(ℓ' + Δℓ) + N_ℓ
S02: Δℓ = ε_STG_te · 𝒲_ℓ + 𝒪(ε²); equivalently Deltaφ_TE ≈ (∂φ/∂ℓ) · Δℓ
S03: C_ℓ^{TE,EFT} = C_ℓ^{TE,Λ}(ℓ + Δℓ) · [ 1 + η_TBN_pol · W_pol(ℓ) ] + γ_Path_TE
S04: A_TE = ⟨ C_ℓ^{obs} / C_ℓ^{Λ}(ℓ + Δℓ) ⟩_{band}
S05: BiasClosure ≡ Σ_p [ (ℓ_p^{model} − ℓ_p^{obs}) / σ_{ℓ_p} ] → 0
S06: chi2 = Delta^T C^{-1} Delta, with Delta over {C_ℓ^TE, peak/phase, TB/EB/TB×EB nulls}.

IV. Data Sources, Processing & QA

M01 Harmonize masks/beams/mixing and bandpasses; build a joint likelihood over {C_ℓ^TE, peak/phase}.
M02 GP smoothing to obtain template derivatives ∂C_ℓ/∂ℓ and ∂φ/∂ℓ; robustly evaluate Δℓ/Δφ.
M03 Injection–recovery for {gamma_Path_TE, eta_TBN_pol, beta_TPR_bp, epsilon_STG_te} to calibrate sensitivity J_θ and BiasClosure.
M04 Bucketing by frequency, mask complexity, ℓ bands, and delensing schemes to test portability and decay trends.
M05 Model selection with AIC/BIC/chi2_per_dof/PosteriorOverlap/BiasClosure; issue release gates and parameter bounds.

V. Scorecard vs. Mainstream, VI. Summative Assessment, External References, Appendix A/B

As detailed in the front-matter: the EFT model scores higher on explanatory power, predictivity, falsifiability, and cross-sample consistency; achieves BiasClosure ≈ 0 with chi2_per_dof ≈ 1; and prescribes falsification tests (baseline zero, decay curve, cross-consistency).
