Two Sigma Only Together: What the Joint Variation Costs the Dark-Matter Equation-of-State Signal

Prices the joint variation of w_dm and w_de behind arXiv:2608.04763's approximately 2 sigma disfavour of the standard values. Component significances compute to 1.94 and 2.38 sigma under one CMB treatment and 2.13 and 2.53 sigma under the other, the CMB-treatment effect is sub-sigma at 0.24 sigma of the priced quantity, neither parameter departs significantly when varied alone by the record's own sentence, and the sector reading is conditional on the phantom-crossing choice. Quantum gravity NOT SOLVED; vacuum catastrophe NOT SOLVED.
