contents <p>We propose a unified 4D Effective Field Theory (EFT) where the string dilaton's evolution is governed by the spectral geometry of its S-duality moduli space, <span>$\mathcal{M}= SL(2,\mathbb{Z})\backslash\mathbb{H}$</span>. Utilizing the Selberg Trace Formula as a geometric proxy for the 1-loop effective action, we derive a leading-order exponential potential <span>$V(\phi) \propto e^{-2\phi}$</span> through Weyl conformal rescaling. We demonstrate a "Spectral-Observational Bridge": large kinetic couplings <span>$\xi$</span> compress high-frequency modular fluctuations into log-periodic features within the observable CMB window (<span>$\ell \sim 10-1000$</span>). In the late universe, this framework naturally yields thawing quintessence that alleviates the <span>$H_0$</span> tension via a parametric degeneracy in the acoustic scale. Finally, we show that local gravity constraints are satisfied through a Chameleon mechanism with a characteristic <span>$\rho^{4/5}$</span> mass scaling, ensuring consistency with Cassini-era bounds.</p>
