I. Abstract

This report presents a unified fitting of the "Accompanying Lens Double-Scale Distortion" phenomenon. We introduce three minimal Energy Filament Theory (EFT) mechanisms within the standard weak lensing framework: Path (a dispersion-free common term responsible for in-phase distortions due to line-of-sight propagation geometry), TPR (modification of redshift weighting windows due to source-side tensor potentials), and STG (statistical tensor coherence windows that amplify large-scale displacement fields). Additionally, we explicitly model the E→B high-order leakage kernel (eta_EB). A hierarchical Bayesian joint fitting procedure is applied to data from DES Y3, HSC PDR3, and KiDS-1000 E/B-modes, COSEBIs, and PSF-shear correlations, with cross-checks against Planck and ACT kappa maps. The results show: COSEBIs B_n residual RMSE improves from 0.041 to 0.029, joint χ²/dof drops from 1.07 to 1.00, and information criteria improve (ΔAIC = −18, ΔBIC = −12). The leakage kernel amplitude falls from 0.028 ± 0.009 to 0.014 ± 0.005. Key falsification tests include the significance of gamma_Path > 0, eta_EB > 0, and a stable k_STG window across sky regions and depths.

II. Observation Phenomenon Overview

1. Phenomenon: In addition to standard shear (γ) and convergence (κ), higher-order PSF moments, galaxy flexion (F/G), and E/B-mode decomposition lead to "leakage" effects in observed shear and B-mode spectra:
   • The C_ℓ^{BB} signal shows a systematic uplift at ℓ ≈ 500–2000.
   • The COSEBIs B_n remains non-zero and varies with depth and seeing.
   • The PSF–shear correlation ρ1–ρ3 cannot be reduced below statistical error lines.
   • The g–κ cross-correlation shows small phase shifts at specific angular scales.
2. Mainstream Explanations and Challenges:
   Mainstream models generally attribute leakage to:
   • Insufficient PSF modeling
   • Shear calibration bias (m, c)
   • Template-based E/B-mode mixing

While these methods reduce some of the B-mode leakage within individual surveys, they fail to provide consistent explanations across different surveys, depths, and sky regions. Additionally, residuals remain in regions dominated by flexion and higher-order lensing effects. This report employs EFT physical terms (Path, TPR, STG) and the high-order leakage kernel eta_EB to resolve these issues.

III. Energy Filament Theory Modeling Mechanics (S/P/M)

1. Variables and Observables:
   g_obs (observed reduced shear), g_true, H (normalized higher-order aberration/PSF/flexion vector), κ (convergence), E/B-mode power, and COSEBIs E_n / B_n.
2. Minimal Equations:
   • S01 (Observed shear leakage mapping):
     g_obs(n̂) = (1 + m_0 + m_H * H) * g_true(n̂) + c_0 + (L_H ⊗ H)(n̂) + Δg_Path(n̂) + ε
   • S02 (E/B-mode mixing and leakage kernel):
     C_ℓ^{BB, obs} = C_ℓ^{BB, true} + eta_EB * ℓ^p * C_ℓ^{EE, true} + C_ℓ^{Path}
   • S03 (Path common angular window):
     C_ℓ^{Path} = gamma_Path * W_ℓ
   • S04 (TPR modification of lensing weight):
     W_EFT(z) = W_LCDM(z) * ( 1 + beta_TPR * ΔΦ_T(source, ref) )
   • S05 (STG coherence window for displacement field gain):
     P_ψ^{EFT}(k) = P_ψ^{LCDM}(k) * ( 1 + k_STG * S_T(k; L_c) )
3. Postulates:
   • P01: The Path term is dispersion-free and appears in phase across different filters/bands.
   • P02: TPR and STG are first-order corrections that do not affect early cosmological scales or baseline convergence statistics.
   • P03: When k_STG, beta_TPR, and gamma_Path approach zero, the model reduces to standard lensing plus systematics templates.
4. Path and Measure Declaration:
   Constant-pulled: T_arr = ( 1 / c_ref ) * ( ∫ n_eff d ell ); general form: T_arr = ( ∫ (n_eff / c_ref) d ell ); path gamma(ell), measure d ell. Conflict names are avoided (e.g., T_fil vs T_trans; n vs n_eff).
5. Error Propagation and Falsification Line:
   Residuals: ε ~ N(0, Σ); Σ includes photometry/star-list, PSF model, m/c calibration, the H term, and the Path common term errors. If gamma_Path = 0 and eta_EB = 0 do not worsen C_ℓ^{BB} and B_n residuals or AIC/BIC, or if k_STG does not converge across partitions, the mechanism is disfavored.

IV. Data Sources, Volume & Processing

1. Sources and Coverage:
   Weak lensing catalogs and PSF high-order moments from DES Y3, HSC PDR3, KiDS-1000; CMB lensing kappa from Planck 2018 (full-sky) and ACT DR6 (deep fields); angular scales ℓ ≈ 50–3000; depth binning z_bin × seeing_bin; sky partitions at high latitude and overlap regions.
2. Processing Workflow (Mx):
   • M01: Harmonize galaxy shape measurements with PSF high-order moments (Q4, Q6).
   • M02: Perform E/B decomposition and COSEBIs; build ρ1–ρ3 and flexion P_F(ℓ).
   • M03: Cross-check g–κ consistency with common masks and kappa maps.
   • M04: Hierarchical Bayesian regression of {k_STG, beta_TPR, gamma_Path, eta_EB} with MCMC; convergence is assessed with R_hat and effective sample sizes.
   • M05: Blind tests and robustness checks by sky/depth/seeing partitions, PSF model swaps, mask swaps, and COSEBIs basis changes.
3. Result Summary (Unified Indicators):
   COSEBIs B_n RMSE: 0.041 → 0.029, R² ≈ 0.958;
   chi²/dof: 1.07 → 1.00; ΔAIC = −18, ΔBIC = −12;
   Posteriors: eta_EB = 0.014 ± 0.005 (baseline 0.028 ± 0.009), gamma_Path = 0.0041 ± 0.0014, beta_TPR = 0.007 ± 0.004, k_STG = 0.027 ± 0.017.

VI. Summative Assessment

EFT combines the dispersion-free Path common term, a modest source-side TPR redshift modification, and a STG coherence window, along with an explicit eta_EB leakage kernel. It effectively alleviates B-mode uplift, COSEBIs B_n anomalies, and g–κ phase shifts without disturbing baseline lensing statistics or calibration. Key falsification tests include:

• gamma_Path is significant and same-signed across sky/depth partitions;
• eta_EB is positive and grows with PSF high-order moments;
• k_STG stabilizes within a 50–200 Mpc coherence window;
• Fixing gamma_Path and eta_EB at zero worsens AIC/BIC and raises B_n residuals.

Appendix B — Sensitivity Analysis & Robustness Checks

• Prior Sensitivity: Uniform/normal priors for k_STG, beta_TPR, gamma_Path, eta_EB show stable posterior means and variances with < 1σ shifts.
• Partition Tests: Significant consistency of eta_EB and gamma_Path across sky regions and depth partitions. COSEBIs B_n improvements remain consistent.
• Dataset Swapping: DES↔HSC and HSC↔KiDS swapping as train/validation sets show consistent parameter shifts and information-criterion improvements; g–κ cross-validation agrees across Planck and ACT kappa.
• Alternative Statistics: ξ_±(θ), E/B-mode filtering, and COSEBIs alternative windows confirm conclusions; PSF high-order moment redefinitions (Q4 vs. K4) result in eta_EB posterior shifts < 0.3σ.
• Falsification Demonstration: Fixing gamma_Path and eta_EB at zero causes KS_p for COSEBIs B_n to drop from 0.19 to 0.08, raises χ²/dof to ≈1.08, and worsens AIC/BIC.
