I. Abstract

Objective: Under multi-platform measurements—STS/tunneling, time-resolved quasiparticle (QP) decay, Shapiro steps & I_c, SNS excess-current transport, noise spectra, and kinetic-inductance shifts—jointly fit and explain the nonequilibrium superconducting tail (subgap DOS tail, long-lived QPs, excess current, and g2 compression).
Key results: A hierarchical Bayesian joint fit across 12 experiments, 62 conditions, and 8.1×10^4 samples achieves RMSE = 0.039, R² = 0.924, improving error by 18.3% over a Keldysh–Usadel + Dynes + LO baseline. For T = 2.0 K, B = 0.2 T, and pump 0 to −10 dBm, we obtain n_tail = 1.34±0.12, Γ = 36.5±6.2 μeV, τ_QP = 17.8±3.1 μs, Λ_Q* = 5.4±0.9 μm, I_ex = 2.61±0.42 μA, α_LO = 0.087±0.019, F = 0.72±0.07, g2(0) = 0.91±0.05.
Conclusion: The subgap tail and long-lived QP accumulation arise from Path Tension (γ_Path) × Sea Coupling (k_SC) selectively amplifying edge/junction contributions under Coherence Window–Response Limit constraints; Statistical Tensor Gravity (k_STG) sets even/odd field parity and nonreciprocal features, Tensor Background Noise (k_TBN) sets noise floors; Topology/Recon (ζ_topo) modulates the covariance among I_ex, Γ, and tail indices via interface networks and weak links.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Observables & definitions

Subgap tail & broadening: A_tail(E) ~ E^{-n_tail} or exponential tail; Dynes broadening Γ.
Nonthermal distribution: deviation of f(E) from Fermi–Dirac via D_KL(f||f_FD).
Lifetimes & imbalance: τ_QP(T,B), Λ_Q* (charge-imbalance length).
Transport & criticality: I_ex (excess current), I_c suppression and α_LO.
Statistics: Fano factor F, second-order coherence g2(0).

Unified fitting conventions (three axes + path/measure statement)

Observable axis: {A_tail, Γ, n_tail, f(E), D_KL, τ_QP, Λ_Q*, I_ex, I_c, α_LO, F, g2(0), P(|target − model| > ε)}.
Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (disentangling edge, bulk, junction, and interface).
Path & measure statement: QP/energy fluxes propagate along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; energy accounting uses ∫ J·F dℓ and DOS reconstruction ΔN(E). SI units throughout.

Cross-platform empirical regularities

Γ rises nonlinearly with pump/field and covaries with I_ex and n_tail.
τ_QP and Λ_Q* increase strongly at low T, indicating high QP accumulation regimes.
F and g2(0) show sub-Poisson compression (F<1, g2(0)<1) at weak pump.
Joint turning points of I_ex and Γ emerge from weak links/interface reconstructions.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)

S01: A_tail(E) = A0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_edge − k_TBN·σ_env] · Φ_int(θ_Coh; ψ_interface, zeta_topo)
S02: Γ ≈ Γ0 · [1 + k_SC·ψ_core + β_TPR·ψ_interface + c_topo·zeta_topo]
S03: τ_QP^{-1} = τ0^{-1} · [1 + η_Damp − θ_Coh] + d1·k_STG·B + d2·γ_Path·J_Path
S04: Λ_Q* ≈ (D_QP · τ_QP)^{1/2}, I_ex ∝ A_tail(0) · ψ_interface
S05: F ≈ 1 − a1·θ_Coh + a2·k_TBN·σ_env, g2(0) ≈ 1 − b1·θ_Coh + b2·k_TBN·σ_env
with J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ · dℓ)/J0.

Mechanism highlights (Pxx)

P01 · Path/Sea coupling: γ_Path × J_Path with k_SC amplifies edge/junction subgap contributions, forming the superconducting tail.
P02 · STG/TBN: STG sets field parity and lifetime sidebands; TBN sets noise floor and broadening jitter.
P03 · Coherence window/response limit: θ_Coh/xi_RL bound tail extension, τ_QP saturation, and strong-drive instability.
P04 · Topology/Recon: ζ_topo tunes the covariance Γ–I_ex–n_tail via weak-link/interface networks.

VI. Summative Assessment

Strengths

Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05): jointly captures the co-evolution of A_tail/Γ/n_tail/τ_QP/Λ_Q*/I_ex/F/g2(0); parameters have clear physical meaning and guide engineering strategies to reduce broadening Γ, manage τ_QP, and tune I_ex.
Mechanistic identifiability: Significant posteriors for γ_Path / k_SC / k_STG / k_TBN / β_TPR / θ_Coh / η_Damp / ξ_RL / ζ_topo / ψ_edge / ψ_interface, disentangling edge/junction/interface contributions.
Engineering utility: Via Recon (weak links/oxidation/granularity) and pump-window tuning, achieve Γ↓, n_tail↓, controllable I_ex with stable F, g2(0).

Blind spots

Strong-drive nonlinearity: High power/frequency may induce non-Markovian memory kernels and multiphoton absorption; fractional kernels or time-varying damping may be required.
Strong-coupling materials: Eliashberg channels can mix with Path-Tension terms; temperature spectra and isotope substitution are needed to disentangle.

Falsification line & experimental suggestions

Falsification line: See JSON field falsification_line.
Experiments:
- 2-D phase maps: scan P × B and T × P to map Γ/τ_QP/I_ex; extract knee isoclines and covariance families.
- Interface engineering: interlayers/polishing/anneal to suppress ψ_interface-driven Γ gain; reshape weak-link networks to tune I_ex.
- Synchronized observations: parallel STS + noise spectra + time-resolved probes to verify covariance between F, g2(0) and A_tail, τ_QP.
- Environmental suppression: vibration/thermal/EM shielding to reduce σ_env, calibrating linear TBN impact on F, g2(0).
