ALAverse: A falsifiable anthropic model from the string landscape

We combine the axiverse with a negative cosmological constant $Λ$, both originating from the string landscape, and apply an observation-time-weighted anthropic argument. Adopting a uniform prior on $Λ$ and a typical string-motivated axion decay constant comparable to the reduced Planck scale, this framework predicts a $\sim 40\%$ probability of observing $0.1 < Ω_m < 0.9$, thereby naturally resolving the long-standing fine-tuning and coincidence problems of dark energy. Unlike many scalar-field dark energy models, the anthropic Lambda-axion universe (ALAverse) statistically disfavors slow-roll dynamics, as slow-roll requires fine-tuning of the initial field displacement. Moreover, the negative cosmological constant renders fast-roll scenarios anthropically unfavorable, since they typically yield only a very brief observational window with positive dark energy density. Having ruled out both extremes, the ALAverse characteristically predicts a moderate-roll dynamics. We derive a two-parameter parametrization in terms of $δ_Ω$ and $|\varepsilon_s|$ that covers ALAverse solutions as well as a broad class of canonical and phantom field models. Current observational data yield $δ_Ω= -0.0498 \pm 0.0186$, corresponding to a $2.7σ$ rejection of $Λ$CDM ($δ_Ω= 0$) and phantom models ($δ_Ω> 0$). The data also show a mild preference for the ALAverse over slow-roll quintessence, a trend that can be conclusively tested with future high-precision measurements of the Hubble diagram.
