Paper 6 of 8 This paper develops a covariant formulation of the ghost sector and derives the effective stress‑energy tensor associated with the HU/ghost mismatch. The ghost lattice is shown not to behave as a propagating field or fluid, but as a frozen combinatorial invariant whose influence appears through boundary‑level curvature terms. The analysis reveals how the dual‑lattice architecture modifies the Einstein tensor at large scales while leaving local dynamics unchanged. The resulting tensor structure clarifies why general relativity must misinterpret Λ as a vacuum energy density and provides a covariant bridge between the discrete Honeyverse microstructure and continuum gravitational dynamics. In addition, we show that the Honeyverse Unit (HU) functions as a minimal geometric renormalization‑group block. Its ten‑node decomposition defines the smallest three‑dimensional coarse‑graining kernel whose adjacency and duality relations survive doubling. This self‑similar structure generates the exponential hierarchy 2ᵏ that underlies the emergent scaling of Λ and explains why the continuum limit yields smooth FRW behavior. The covariant action derived in this paper can therefore be understood as a Wilsonian effective theory arising from this underlying geometric RG flow. v1
