abstract
Scattering amplitudes for the simplest theory of colored scalar particles - the Tr($\Phi^3$) theory - have recently been the subject of active investigations. In this letter we describe an unanticipated wider implication of this work: the Tr($\Phi^3$) theory secretly contains Non-linear Sigma Model (NLSM) amplitudes to all loop orders. The NLSM amplitudes are obtained from Tr$(\Phi^3)$ amplitudes by a unique shift of kinematic variables. We show that this shifted kinematics produces amplitudes for a cubic theory with a linear term in potential, with extrema spontaneously breaking $U(N) \to U(N-k) \times U(k)$. The Goldstone amplitudes for this theory coincide with those of pions in the $U(N) \times U(N) \to U(N)$ chiral Lagrangian to all orders in the planar limit. We also give a purely on-shell understanding of this correspondence, showing integrands defined by the kinematic shifts have the correct residues on poles and appropriately produce the Adler zero. Finally, we discuss how similar kinematic shifts produce certain infinite classes of mixed amplitudes of pions and Tr($\Phi^3$) scalars, most of which are not interpretable from the Lagrangian description.

Correlators are simpler than wavefunctions
Equal-time correlators are simpler than wavefunctions because they come from full-spacetime integrals; this implies fewer poles, cleaner factorization, and a systematic pole expansion whose first subleading term vanishes.

On differential operators for scalar-scaffolded gluons
Differential operators on scalar-scaffolded variables extract individual phi^3 diagrams from gluon amplitudes, and the independent mixed amplitudes are counted by Catalan numbers.

The CEGM NLSM
A systematic deformation theory for CEGM amplitudes yields generalized nonlinear sigma model amplitudes, with dimension gcd(k,n)-1 for pure deformations and an embedding of ordinary NLSM amplitudes as residues.
