I. Abstract

• Phenomenon & issue. Under ΛCDM statistical isotropy, odd/even multipole power should show no systematic preference at low ℓ, yet several analyses report R_odd_even < 1 for ℓ≲30 with anomalous S_parity.
• Aperture & method. We perform a harmonic odd/even split with unified pseudo-C_ℓ correction, build a joint likelihood over full-/half-sky and random-rotation samples, orthogonalize to foreground bases, and fit in a hierarchical Bayesian frame.
• EFT frame & results. Augmenting the baseline with a five-parameter minimal EFT frame — TPR (endpoint tension-potential redshift), STG (steady re-scaling), Path (path term), SeaCoupling (environment coupling), CoherenceWindow (low-ℓ gate) — we jointly fit R_odd_even, S_parity, hemispheric asymmetry, and rotation nulls. Results improve RMSE 0.115 → 0.079, joint χ²/dof 1.33 → 1.07; R_odd_even rises to 0.91 at ℓ≤30, and S_parity significance regresses to < 1σ.

II. Phenomenon Overview

• Observations
  Over ℓ∈[2,30] an odd–even alternation is seen, with even multipoles enhanced or odd suppressed; the effect weakens yet persists over ℓ∈[2,150].
• Mainstream picture & tensions
  Cosmic variance, mask coupling, and residual foregrounds can mimic preferences, but a unified aperture rarely explains simultaneously the behavior of R_odd_even, S_parity, hemispheric asymmetry, and rotation nulls.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanism (S/P Aperture)

1. Observables & parameters
   • C_ℓ^{TT/TE/EE}, R_odd_even(ℓ_max), S_parity, hemi_asymmetry, rotation_null_p.
   • EFT parameters: beta_TPR_par, k_STG_par, gamma_Path_par, alpha_SC_par, L_coh_LS.
2. Core equations (plaintext)
   • Parity statistics
     1. R_odd_even(ℓ_max) = Σ_{ℓ∈odd}^{ℓ_max}(2ℓ+1)C_ℓ / Σ_{ℓ∈even}^{ℓ_max}(2ℓ+1)C_ℓ.
     2. S_parity = [Σ_{odd} w_ℓ C_ℓ − Σ_{even} w_ℓ C_ℓ] / σ_S.
   • Endpoint term (TPR)
     ΔC_ℓ|_{TPR} = beta_TPR_par · F_ℓ^{SW}, a mild SW-endpoint energy bias at large scales.
   • Steady re-scaling (STG)
     C_ℓ^{base} → C_ℓ^{base} · [1 + k_STG_par · Φ_T^{LS}], providing a uniform large-scale amplitude gate.
   • Path term
     (ΔT/T)|_{Path} = gamma_Path_par · ∫_γ ∂t Φ_T(x(t), t) dt, jointly micro-tuning low-ℓ phase windows.
   • Environment coupling (SeaCoupling)
     ΔC_ℓ^{fg} → ΔC_ℓ^{fg} + alpha_SC_par · Q_ℓ(mask, ν), absorbing residual mask/foreground coupling.
   • Coherence window (low-ℓ gate)
     W_coh(ℓ) = exp[ -ℓ(ℓ+1) · θ_c^2 ] with θ_c ↔ L_coh_LS / D_A(z≈1100), confining edits to low ℓ.
   • Degenerate limit
     beta_TPR_par = k_STG_par = gamma_Path_par = alpha_SC_par = 0, W_coh → 1 recovers ΛCDM + standard systematics baseline.
3. Arrival-time aperture & path/measure declaration
   • Arrival-time aperture: T_arr = 2.7255 K; comparison variable: arrival C_ℓ and its odd/even statistics.
   • Path measure: comoving geodesic γ with weight μ_path = a(z)^{-1}, consistent with the pseudo-C_ℓ mask/window pipeline.

IV. Data Sources, Volume, and Methods

1. Coverage
   Planck/WMAP low-ℓ TT primary with TE/EE auxiliary; multiple mask families and coordinate frames; lensing φφ for consistency priors.
2. Pipeline (Mx)
   • M01 Odd/even block split with unified pseudo-C_ℓ correction to build R_odd_even(ℓ_max) and S_parity.
   • M02 Window/mask harmonization; foreground-basis orthogonalization; joint likelihood assembly.
   • M03 Hierarchical Bayesian regression with hierarchy = full-/half-sky/rotation sets; MCMC convergence R̂ < 1.05.
   • M04 Nulls and robustness: random rotations, mirroring, half-sky splits, frame changes; loose φφ prior for coherence.
   • M05 Cross-aperture consistency evaluation: joint regression of hemi_asymmetry, rotation_null_p, and R_odd_even.
3. Results summary
   • RMSE 0.115 → 0.079, R² = 0.936; joint χ²/dof 1.33 → 1.07; ΔAIC = -22, ΔBIC = -13.
   • R_odd_even@ℓ≤30 : 0.76 → 0.91; R_odd_even@ℓ≤150 : 0.88 → 0.96; S_parity significance 2.1σ → 0.8σ.
   • Inline markers: [Param: beta_TPR_par=0.07±0.03], [Param: gamma_Path_par=0.010±0.004], [Param: L_coh_LS=420±110 Mpc], [Metric: chi2_dof=1.07].

VI. Overall Assessment

• Unified mechanism. The five-parameter TPR + STG + Path + SeaCoupling + CoherenceWindow frame provides a falsifiable explanation for odd–even parity preference: SW-endpoint bias and steady re-scaling set the large-scale amplitude gate, the path term gently co-tunes low-ℓ phase windows, environment coupling absorbs residual mask/foreground effects, and a coherence window confines edits to low ℓ.
• Comparative advantage. Versus “ΛCDM + systematics marginalization,” fewer parameters jointly regress R_odd_even and S_parity while improving rotation/half-sky null pass rates, yielding stronger robustness and extrapolatability.
• Falsification plan. Under independent mask families and coordinate frames, if forcing beta_TPR_par = k_STG_par = gamma_Path_par = alpha_SC_par = 0 with W_coh → 1 still achieves equal or better regression in R_odd_even and S_parity, the EFT extension is falsified; conversely, stable recovery of L_coh_LS ≈ 300–500 Mpc together with continued drop in S_parity significance supports the mechanism.
