Introduces regression on regression to fit physical parameters (τ_min, α, A, γ, δ) to GWTC-4 B-Spline merger rate posteriors, finding the progenitor formation rate evolves ~5.3 times steeper than the star formation rate at low z and exposing model misspecification.

Deconvolution of the GWTC-4.0 BBH merger rate reveals that long-delay tails in the delay time distribution are forbidden, constraining progenitor formation histories to decline more steeply than the star formation rate and disfavoring shallow power-law DTDs such as stable mass transfer.
Efficient mass transfer in binaries naturally limits the mass of the first-born black hole and produces a sharp drop above 45 solar masses that mimics the pair-instability gap.
Enhanced angular momentum loss via outer Lagrangian point mass ejection in the Roche lobe overflow channel alters ELM WD structure and reproduces observed shorter orbital periods.
