We ask a conservative question: do such residuals require a model class featuring boundary-transfer coupling to an unobserved dynamical sector, beyond conventional sink-like loss or known systematics? We introduce a cross-paper residual ledger that standardizes residual extraction, structure metrics, and null ensembles across prior modules (cosmological consistency diagnostics, horizon-bounded inference, holographic analogs, constrained solver residuals). A minimal dynamical formalism contrasts sink-only removal against latent-sector transfer with controlled feedback. Toy discriminator simulations (sink vs. transfer worlds) validate that boundary-coupled latent sectors imprint low-dimensional, autocorrelated residual signatures robust under strict null controls (time shuffle, phase randomization, scale permutation). Application to a scale-and redshift-resolved cosmological consistency ledger (Arena A) illustrates the pipeline; in tension-active regimes, residuals can exhibit regime-specific structure inconsistent with noise or simple confounds under the null battery, favoring the transfer model class in residual feature space. We emphasize falsifiable diagnostics and model-class inference over ontological commitment; interpretive links to generative cosmology remain hypothetical and are explicitly scoped.
