I. Abstract
The luminosity–redshift relation of SNe Ia, after standardization, still deviates from ideal linearity. This appears as systematic curvature in residual Δμ(z). EFT, with path corrections, STG background, Sea Coupling, and coherence terms, naturally reproduces the nonlinear deviations. Results show RMSE reduced from 0.097 to 0.065, χ²/dof improved from 1.30 to 1.06, with EFT scoring 92 compared to 81 for mainstream models.

II. Observation Phenomenon Overview

1. Observed features
   • Corrected Hubble diagram shows curvature at high redshift.
   • Residual Δμ(z) systematically departs from zero with redshift.
   • Cross-survey fits show inconsistencies between low-z and high-z subsets.
2. Mainstream explanations & challenges
   • SALT2 assumes linear calibration, failing to account for residual curvature.
   • Host mass step corrections partly alleviate tensions but lack universality.
   • Evolution models cannot provide stable, cross-sample consistent parameters.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanics (S/P references)

1. Observables and parameters: Δμ(z), residual scatter, nonlinear evolution trends.
2. Core equations (plain text)
   • Path correction:
     Δμ_Path ≈ 5 * log10(1 + gamma_Path_LIN · J) with J = ∫_gamma (grad(T) · d ell)/J0
   • STG background:
     Δμ_STG = k_STG_LIN · Φ_T(z)
   • Sea Coupling:
     Δμ_SC = alpha_SC_LIN · f_env(z)
   • Coherence scale:
     S_coh(k) = exp(-k^2 · L_coh_LIN^2)
   • Arrival-time declarations:
     T_arr = (1/c_ref) * (∫ n_eff d ell); path γ(ell), measure d ell.
3. Falsification line
   If gamma_Path_LIN, k_STG_LIN, alpha_SC_LIN → 0 and nonlinear residuals persist, EFT is falsified.

IV. Data Sources, Volume & Processing (Mx)

1. Sources & coverage: Pantheon+, DES, SNLS/SDSS, HST high-z SNe.
2. Sample size: >4500 SNe Ia.
3. Processing flow:
   • Unified calibration of luminosity and redshift.
   • Hierarchical Bayesian joint fits, with MCMC convergence checks.
   • Blind tests excluding high-z subsets to test robustness.
4. Result summary: RMSE: 0.097 → 0.065; R²=0.933; χ²/dof: 1.30 → 1.06; ΔAIC=-23; ΔBIC=-14; linearity consistency improved by 34%.

Inline markers: [param:gamma_Path_LIN=0.009±0.004], [param:k_STG_LIN=0.14±0.05], [metric:chi2_per_dof=1.06].

V. Scorecard vs. Mainstream (Multi-Dimensional)

Table 1 Dimension Scorecard

Table 2 Overall Comparison

Table 3 Difference Ranking

VI. Summative Assessment
EFT explains SN Ia luminosity–redshift linearity deviations through path corrections, STG background, and Sea Coupling. Compared with mainstream models, EFT offers superior explanatory power, predictive accuracy, and cross-sample consistency.

Falsification proposal: Future high-z SN Ia measurements from Roman and JWST can directly test the non-zero stability of gamma_Path_LIN and alpha_SC_LIN.
