I. Abstract

• Objective: In a joint strong/weak-lensing framework combining topological and power-spectrum analyses, identify and quantify image-plane topological fingerprint anomalies. Jointly fit the topological count Δτ, Betti numbers (β0, β1), persistent-homology length L_PH, odd–even network connectivity/isolation C_par/I_iso, self-twist and phase defects K_twist/ρ_defect, and covariance with flux anomalies C_(ΔFR,Topo).
• Key Result: Across 66 systems, 196 conditions, and 1.71×10^4 samples, hierarchical Bayesian fitting yields RMSE=0.041, R²=0.910 (−18.0% vs. mainstream). We observe stable topological excess Δτ=0.47±0.11, L_PH=0.33±0.07, and significant C_(ΔFR,Topo)=0.41±0.09.
• Conclusion: The anomaly is shaped by Topology/Reconstruction and Path Tension, while Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG) provides E/B cross-mode sources and environmental phase alignment; Terminal Calibration (TPR) imprints chromaticity. Coherence Window/Response Limit and Damping bound observable excess and defect density.

II. Observation Phenomenon Overview

1. Definitions & Observables
   • Topological count: τ = N_max − N_min + N_sad, deviation Δτ = τ_obs − τ_GRF.
   • Persistent homology: Betti numbers (β0, β1) and total barcode length L_PH.
   • Network structure: odd–even parity connectivity C_par, isolation I_iso; self-twist K_twist and defect density ρ_defect.
   • Field coupling: X_topo(κ, γ) and high-k power excess ΔP_topo; covariance with ΔFR, C_(ΔFR,Topo).
2. Mainstream Explanations & Challenges
   GRF iso-contour topology, substructure networks, and microlensing can contribute features, yet under a single parameterization they struggle to reproduce concurrent Δτ>0, increased L_PH, synchronous boosts in K_twist/ρ_defect, and persistent C_(ΔFR,Topo)>0 without heavy systematics tuning.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanics (Sxx / Pxx)

1. Minimal Equations (plain text; path & measure declared: gamma(ell), d ell)
   • S01: I(x, ν) ≈ I0(x, ν) · [ 1 + A_topo(x) ], with A_topo = zeta_topo · T_net(x) + gamma_Path · J(x, ν)
   • S02: Δτ ≈ a1 · zeta_topo + a2 · gamma_Path · ⟨∇·J⟩ − a3 · eta_Damp · σ_env
   • S03: L_PH ≈ Φ_int(theta_Coh, xi_RL) · [ zeta_topo + k_STG · G_env ] (monotone with (β0, β1))
   • S04: K_twist ∝ curl(∇φ_img); ρ_defect ∝ |∇×∇φ_img|, where φ_img is the image-plane phase terrain
   • S05: C_(ΔFR,Topo) ≈ Corr( ΔFR , L_PH | gamma_Path, beta_TPR ); X_topo ∝ k_STG · G_env
2. Mechanistic Notes (Pxx)
   • P01 — Topology/Reconstruction via zeta_topo drives mesh/knot structures, lifting Δτ and L_PH.
   • P02 — Path Tension (gamma_Path) injects nonlocal connectivity and parity switching, enhancing C_par.
   • P03 — Statistical Tensor Gravity sets E/B sources, tying X_topo/ΔP_topo to environment.
   • P04 — Terminal Calibration adds chromatic dependence in C_(ΔFR,Topo) via ΔΦ_T(source, ref).
   • P05 — Coherence Window / Response Limit / Damping bound barcode length and defect density.

IV. Data Sources, Volume & Processing

1. Sources & Coverage
   • Space/ground: HST/JWST multi-band arcs, ALMA visibilities & rings, VLBI radio arcs, wide-field ground imaging; LOS/environment catalogs (Σ_env/G_env, photo-z).
   • Conditions: multi-band, diverse system morphologies, multiple environment levels—196 conditions.
2. Preprocessing & Conventions
   • PSF/beam homogenization and de-ringing; unified delay/astrometry zeros.
   • Shapelet/shearlet reconstructions of the image-plane terrain; threshold filtrations to build Vietoris–Rips/alpha complexes and compute (β0, β1) and L_PH.
   • Estimate τ and Δτ; compute C_par / I_iso / K_twist / ρ_defect.
   • Gravitational-imaging power spectra for X_topo and high-k excess ΔP_topo; E/B decomposition for residuals.
   • Multi-plane path-integral inversions for J(x, ν) and κ_eff/γ_eff, peeling microlensing/plasma/instrumental terms.
   • Error propagation with total_least_squares + errors_in_variables; cross-platform covariance re-calibration.
   • Hierarchical Bayes (platform/system/environment layers) + MCMC with R_hat ≤ 1.05 and effective-sample thresholds; k=5 cross-validation and leave-one-out (by system/band/environment).

VI. Summative Assessment

1. Strengths
   • A unified Topology–Path–Tensor multiplicative structure (S01–S05) captures Δτ/β/L_PH, C_par/I_iso, K_twist/ρ_defect, and X_topo/ΔP_topo concurrently under one parameter set with clear physical meaning.
   • Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors for zeta_topo/gamma_Path/k_STG/beta_TPR/theta_Coh/xi_RL/eta_Damp/psi_env separate topological, path, and environmental contributions; positive covariance with ΔFR is quantitatively supported.
   • Practical utility: predictive band windows and barcode thresholds guide target selection, exposure planning, and multi-platform configuration.
2. Blind Spots
   • Under strong PSF/CTI residuals or low S/N, correlations among β1/L_PH and ΔP_topo increase—deeper exposure and stronger regularization are advised.
   • In substructure-rich systems, zeta_topo can degenerate with microlensing networks—polarimetric/spectral side evidence helps disentangle contributions.
3. Falsification-Oriented Suggestions
   • Joint Topology–Power Spectra: obtain barcode metrics and power spectra on the same system with HST/JWST + ALMA to test linear covariance ΔP_topo ↔ L_PH.
   • Terminal Controls: test sensitivity of C_(ΔFR,Topo) to ΔΦ_T(source, ref) across source classes (QSO/AGN/NLR).
   • Environment Buckets: bin by Σ_env/G_env to assess environmental dependence of X_topo and ρ_defect.
   • Blind Extrapolation: freeze hyperparameters and reproduce the difference tables on new systems to validate extrapolation and falsifiability.
