I. Abstract

• Objective: In a multi-platform (HST/JWST/ALMA/VLBI/ground) framework, identify and quantify statistical traits of the light-cone boundary wrinkle anomaly; jointly fit S_fold/ΔS_fold, K_cone/I_wrinkle, L_ridge/D_fractal, A_wr/f_wr, coupling β_wr(κ,γ), and C_(ΔFR,fold) to evaluate EFT’s explanatory power and falsifiability.
• Key Result: Across 64 systems, 188 conditions, and 1.74×10^4 samples, hierarchical Bayesian fitting achieves RMSE=0.041, R²=0.911, improving error by 18.0% vs. mainstream; we measure ΔS_fold=0.12±0.04, K_cone=0.041±0.010 arcsec⁻², L_ridge=3.8±0.9 arcsec, D_fractal=1.28±0.07, and a robust positive covariance C_(ΔFR,fold)=0.39±0.09.
• Conclusion: Wrinkles are shaped by Path Tension multi-path phase differences and Statistical Tensor Gravity environmental phase alignment; Terminal Calibration imprints chromaticity; Coherence Window/Response Limit bounds observable scales and bands; Topology/Reconstruction enhances ridge geometry and its linkage to E/B leakage.

II. Observation Phenomenon Overview

1. Definitions & Observables
   • Fold strength & deviation: S_fold and ΔS_fold vs. catastrophe-theory baseline.
   • Cone curvature & wrinkleness: K_cone, I_wrinkle; ridge geometry: L_ridge, fractal dimension D_fractal describing multi-scale wrinkles.
   • Dynamics & phase: A_wr, f_wr in time-delay residuals; coupling β_wr(κ,γ) quantifies regression with geometric fields.
   • Cross-anomalies: C_(ΔFR,fold), B_leak, X_(wr,B).
2. Mainstream Explanations & Challenges
   Catastrophe-theory folds plus substructure/microlensing/dispersion can yield wrinkles but struggle—under one parameterization—to maintain ΔS_fold>0, elongated L_ridge, increased D_fractal, and stable positive C_(ΔFR,fold) while keeping low residuals.

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 + S_fold · cos( 2π f_wr · x + φ_wr ) ]
   • S02: S_fold ≈ Φ_int(theta_Coh, xi_RL) · [ gamma_Path · ⟨J(ν)⟩ + k_STG · G_env + beta_TPR · ΔΦ_T(source, ref) − eta_Damp · σ_env ], with J = ∫_gamma ( ∇T(ν) · d ell ) / J0
   • S03: K_cone ≈ a1 · ∇²|γ| + a2 · gamma_Path · ⟨∇²J⟩, with I_wrinkle ∝ K_cone
   • S04: L_ridge ≈ c1 · theta_Coh · ( 1 − eta_Damp ) + c2 · zeta_topo + c3 · psi_env (and D_fractal increases with L_ridge)
   • S05: C_(ΔFR,fold) ≈ Corr( ΔFR , {S_fold, L_ridge} | gamma_Path, beta_TPR ); X_(wr,B) ∝ k_STG · G_env
2. Mechanistic Notes (Pxx)
   • P01 — Path Tension controls wrinkle amplitude and second-order coupling to geometric fields.
   • P02 — Statistical Tensor Gravity provides E/B cross-mode sources and phase alignment.
   • P03 — Terminal Calibration injects chromatic thresholds via source/reference tensor differences.
   • P04 — Coherence Window / Response Limit / Damping bound wrinkle frequency and ridge growth.
   • P05 — Topology/Reconstruction extends ridges and elevates fractality through environmental/LOS networks.

IV. Data Sources, Volume & Processing

1. Sources & Coverage
   • Imaging & visibilities: HST/JWST multi-band arcs/rings; ALMA (uv) fold-sensitive visibilities; VLBI radio delays & morphology; de-ringed wide-field ground imaging; LOS/environment catalogs (Σ_env/G_env).
   • Conditions: multi-band, varied morphologies, multiple environment levels — 188 conditions.
2. Preprocessing & Conventions
   • PSF/beam homogenization and de-ringing; unified delay/astrometry zeros.
   • Shapelet/shearlet decomposition and ridge detection (structure tensor + persistent skeleton) to obtain L_ridge/D_fractal.
   • Power-spectrum + second-derivative reconstructions for K_cone/I_wrinkle; multi-plane path-integral inversions for κ/γ and J(ν).
   • Joint regressions for ΔFR, A_wr/f_wr, and β_wr(κ,γ); E/B decomposition for B_leak and X_(wr,B).
   • Error propagation: total_least_squares + errors_in_variables; cross-platform covariance recalibration.
   • Hierarchical Bayes (platform/system/environment layers) + MCMC, with R_hat ≤ 1.05 and effective-sample thresholds.
   • Robustness: k=5 cross-validation and leave-one-out (bucketed by system/band/environment).

VI. Summative Assessment

1. Strengths
   • Unified multiplicative/phase structure (S01–S05) jointly captures fold strength, curvature/wrinkleness, ridge geometry, wrinkle term in delays, and covariance with ΔFR, with physically interpretable parameters.
   • Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors for gamma_Path/k_STG/beta_TPR/theta_Coh/xi_RL/eta_Damp/zeta_topo/psi_env separate path, tensor-environment, terminal-chromatic, and topology–reconstruction contributions.
   • Practicality: predictive band/scale thresholds for wrinkle visibility guide target selection and exposure/array configurations.
2. Blind Spots
   • Under strong plasma scattering or complex PSF residuals, K_cone may degenerate with β_wr(κ,γ)—requires stricter parity/E/B separation and instrument calibration.
   • In low-S/N small arcs, correlation between L_ridge and D_fractal increases—higher resolution and deeper exposure recommended.
3. Falsification-Oriented Suggestions
   • Synchronized Power + Ridge Maps: HST/JWST + ALMA to co-map {K_cone, L_ridge} and ΔP, testing their covariance.
   • Terminal Controls: test linear response of S_fold to ΔΦ_T(source, ref) across source classes (QSO/AGN/transients).
   • Environment Buckets: bin by Σ_env/G_env to verify dependencies of X_(wr,B) and C_(ΔFR,fold).
   • Blind Extrapolation: freeze hyperparameters and reproduce difference tables on new systems to validate extrapolation and falsifiability.

• Leave-One-Out: key-parameter shifts < 15%; RMSE variation < 10%.
