We develop a covariant Effective Field Theory (EFT) for cosmological synchronization transport dynamics, termed the Resonant Synchronization Framework (RSF). The theory is formulated from a variational action containing a scalar accessibility field , an auxiliary transport vector , a finite-range nonlocal memory kernel , and a hyperdiffusive ultraviolet regulator controlled by . The construction is designed to remain first-order in time derivatives while generating higher-order spatial stabilization terms, thereby avoiding Ostrogradsky ghost instabilities. The resulting equations are analyzed through characteristic methods, Dirac–Bergmann constraint algebra, BRST quantization, and one-loop effective action techniques. The framework propagates exactly one scalar synchronization degree of freedom in addition to the standard tensor modes of General Relativity. Strong hyperbolicity and causal propagation are demonstrated through the principal symbol determinant structure. The theory is then coupled to late-time cosmological observables through matter power spectra , redshift-space distortions , weak-lensing convergence maps, and the gravitational slip statistic . A constrained parameter basin is identified using Planck-like CMB phase constraints, DESI large-scale structure statistics, and weak-lensing observables. The framework predicts a localized scale-dependent gravitational slip enhancement near , a non-power-law tensor topology for primordial -modes, and velocity-dependent effective interaction scaling in dwarf galaxy halos. The entire inference stack is containerized and serialized using deterministic Docker and HDF5 pipelines to permit hostile independent verification and external Monte Carlo recovery.
