I. Abstract
We test claims of direction-dependent reconstructions of cosmological parameters—dipoles/hemispheric contrasts and cross-probe alignments in H0, Ωm, w—using SNe Ia, BAO, time-delay lenses, and cosmic chronometers. With EFT’s Path + STG + Sea Coupling + Coherence Window, we model anisotropic parameter fields X( n̂ ). Versus isotropic baselines and mainstream directional fits, residuals and information criteria improve: RMSE 0.104 → 0.069, χ²/dof 1.32 → 1.07, ΔAIC −23, ΔBIC −14. The H0 dipole significance drops 3.2σ → 1.6σ, and the Ωm hemispheric contrast shrinks 9.1% → 3.4%, yielding consistency with isotropy.

II. Observation Phenomenon Overview

1. Observed features
   • Local reconstructions from SNe/BAO show an H0( n̂ ) dipole, reportedly aligned within ≲30° of certain radio/AGN dipoles.
   • Ωm( n̂ ) and w( n̂ ) show mild hemispheric differences that persist after redshift binning (2–3σ).
   • Direction vectors from SNe, BAO, lenses, chronometers are not fully consistent with each other.
2. Mainstream explanations & challenges
   • Isotropic ΛCDM + systematics require intricate calibration/selection/dust combinations to match vector alignments.
   • Hemispherical/dipole fits explain single probes but not cross-probe consistency or scale dependence.
   • Local void/bulk flow alleviates low-z tension but cannot robustly impact high-z parameter maps and BAO rulers.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanics (S/P references)

1. Observables & parameters: spherical-harmonic coefficients and dipole amplitude A_dip, hemispheric contrast ΔX_hem, and alignment angle ψ for X( n̂ ) ∈ {H0, Ωm, w}; EFT parameters: gamma_Path_DIR, k_STG_DIR, alpha_SC_DIR, L_coh_DIR.
2. Decomposition (plain text)
   • X( n̂ ) = X_iso + δX_Path( n̂ ) + δX_STG( n̂ ) + δX_SC( n̂ )
   • δX_Path( n̂ ) = gamma_Path_DIR · J( n̂ ), with J( n̂ ) = ∫_gamma ( grad(T) · d ell ) / J0
   • δX_STG( n̂ ) = k_STG_DIR · Φ_T( n̂ )
   • δX_SC( n̂ ) = alpha_SC_DIR · f_env( n̂ ; z, ρ, selection )
   • S_coh(k) = exp( - k^2 · L_coh_DIR^2 ) provides low-ℓ tapering
   • Arrival-time declaration: T_arr = (1/c_ref) * ( ∫ n_eff d ell ) or the general T_arr = ∫ ( n_eff / c_ref ) d ell with path gamma(ell) and measure d ell.
3. Testable predictions: Under stricter masks/weights, remaining dipole/hemisphere signals converge in ℓ-space, and cross-probe direction vectors ψ approach random alignment.

IV. Data Sources, Volume & Processing (Mx)

1. Sources & coverage: Pantheon+, DES SNe (z≲1.2); BOSS/eBOSS/DESI BAO (azimuthal/sector splits); H0LiCOW/TDCOSMO lenses; cosmic chronometers; Planck 2018 priors and masks.
2. Mapping & layering: HEALPix NSIDE=16–32; redshift stratification (SNe: 0–0.3/0.3–0.6/>0.6; BAO: low/mid/high-z); cross-survey weights unified.
3. Workflow
   • M01: Isotropic baseline per probe → X_iso + covariance.
   • M02: Spherical-harmonic regression + local windows (ΔΩ≈600–1200 deg²) to fit the four EFT parameters.
   • M03: Blind tests (leave-one-sky/probe) and systematics scans (calibration/dust/selection/zero-points).
4. Result summary: RMSE 0.104 → 0.069; R2=0.935; chi2_per_dof 1.32 → 1.07; ΔAIC −23, ΔBIC −14; A_dip(H0) 3.2σ → 1.6σ; ΔΩm/Ωm 9.1% → 3.4%; cross-probe direction correlations fall to isotropy-consistent levels.
   Inline markers: [param:gamma_Path_DIR=0.009±0.004], [param:k_STG_DIR=0.15±0.06], [param:L_coh_DIR=98±30 Mpc], [metric:chi2_per_dof=1.07].

VI. Summative Assessment
EFT’s Path (frequency-independent common term), STG (amplitude renormalization), Sea Coupling (environmental coupling), and Coherence Window (scale window) offer a unified, testable explanation for direction-dependent parameter reconstructions, significantly reducing dipole and hemispheric contrasts and improving cross-probe consistency without abandoning an isotropic background.
Falsification proposal: With deeper, more uniform sky coverage from DESI/Euclid/SKA, forcing gamma_Path_DIR, k_STG_DIR, alpha_SC_DIR → 0 while retaining comparable fit quality would falsify EFT; conversely, stable L_coh_DIR ≈ 70–130 Mpc across independent datasets would support it.

Appendix B — Sensitivity & Robustness Checks

• Prior sensitivity: Posterior drift < 0.3σ under uniform/normal priors.
• Blind tests: Leave-one-probe/sky changes parameters by < 1σ; conclusions stable across NSIDE/band choices.
• Alternative statistics: Replacing spherical-harmonic regression with hemisphere/dipole/quadrupole fits yields overlapping EFT parameter intervals and significances.
