This supplement provides the full derivation of the minimal quadratic action for the ACR time-field fluctuations δτ^μ, justifying the Proca-like Lagrangian and the emergence of the effective mass parameter m_τ. It includes: Background decomposition τ^μ = τ̄^μ + δτ^μ and gauge constraints Construction of the unique Lorentz-invariant kinetic and mass terms Equation of motion, dispersion relation, and coherence length ξ = 1/m_τ Discussion of possible origins of m_τ (self-interaction, radiative corrections, cosmological symmetry breaking) Phenomenological window for m_τ ∼ 10–50 m⁻¹ (ξ ∼ cm scale) Outlook on higher-order operators and renormalization
