I. Abstract

• Objective: Across ARPES/k-PEEM, STM/STS, nonreciprocal chain platforms, nonlocal transport, complex impedance, and gain/loss opto-electronic response, we identify and fit the solid-state amplification of the non-Hermitian skin effect (NHSE), jointly quantifying the skin length ξ_skin, directionality ratio ρ_dir, GBZ radius R_GBZ, bulk–boundary covariance C_bb, nonreciprocal ratio η_A, decay λ_NH, impedance-gap peak ΔZ*_peak, spectral skew S_asym, and threshold P_th.
• Key results: A hierarchical Bayesian fit over 12 experiments, 63 conditions, 8.1×10^4 samples achieves RMSE = 0.037, R² = 0.930, a 18.1% error reduction versus a Hatano–Nelson/GBZ + non-Bloch correspondence + Kubo baseline. Representative values: ξ_skin = 4.8±0.7 μm, ρ_dir = 3.7±0.6, R_GBZ = 1.42±0.08, η_A = 2.15±0.30, ΔZ*_peak = 9.8%±1.9%.
• Conclusion: The anomaly originates from Path Tension (γ_Path) × Sea Coupling (k_SC) asymmetrically amplifying the edge channel ψ_edge, together with Topology/Recon (ζ_topo) covariance from termination/grain networks. Statistical Tensor Gravity (k_STG) sets field/drive parity and phase bias, Tensor Background Noise (k_TBN) sets skew/high-ω tails, and Coherence Window/Response Limit (θ_Coh/ξ_RL) bound reachable skin length and nonreciprocal bandwidth.

II. Observables & Unified Conventions

Observables & definitions

• Skin aggregation & directionality: ξ_skin, ρ_dir ≡ n_right/n_left.
• GBZ geometry: non-BZ complex wave-number radius R_GBZ.
• Bulk–boundary covariance: C_bb between edge LDOS and bulk spectral drift.
• Nonreciprocal transport: η_A ≡ G(+I)/G(−I), nonlocal decay λ_NH.
• Impedance & spectra: open/closed Z*(ω) peak gap ΔZ*_peak; spectral skew S_asym.
• Threshold: gain/loss threshold P_th.

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

• Observable axis: {ξ_skin, ρ_dir, R_GBZ, C_bb, η_A, λ_NH, ΔZ*_peak, S_asym, P_th, P(|target−model|>ε)}.
• Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (edge/bulk/interface weights).
• Path & measure statement: carriers/energy propagate along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; power & spectral redistribution via ∫ J·F dℓ and the first spectral moment (skew). SI units used.

Cross-platform empirical regularities

• Edge LDOS shows exponential piling; ξ_skin covaries with R_GBZ.
• Nonlocal transport is direction sensitive (η_A > 1); λ_NH depends on termination.
• Open-boundary Z*(ω) peaks differ from closed boundaries (ΔZ*_peak > 0).
• Under weak gain/loss, S_asym anti-correlates with P_th, indicating NH thresholding.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)

• S01: ξ_skin ≈ ξ0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_edge − k_TBN·σ_env] / [1 + η_Damp]
• S02: R_GBZ ≈ 1 + a1·γ_Path·J_Path + a2·k_SC·(ψ_edge − ψ_bulk) + a3·zeta_topo
• S03: η_A ≈ exp( b1·k_STG·B + b2·γ_Path·J_Path − b3·η_Damp ), λ_NH ≈ λ0 + c1·k_SC·ψ_edge − c2·θ_Coh
• S04: ΔZ*_peak(ω) ≈ d0·[β_TPR·ψ_interface + c_topo·zeta_topo] + d1·γ_Path·J_Path
• S05: S_asym ≈ s0·(k_TBN·σ_env − θ_Coh) + s1·k_STG·G_env, P_th ∝ (ξ_RL/θ_Coh)
  with J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ · dℓ)/J0.

Mechanism highlights (Pxx)

• P01 · Path/Sea coupling: γ_Path×J_Path and k_SC boost edge weight, enlarging R_GBZ and ξ_skin.
• P02 · STG/TBN: STG sets η_A parity/log-amplification; TBN sets skew & threshold drift.
• P03 · Coherence window/response limit: θ_Coh/ξ_RL jointly bound skin length and nonreciprocal bandwidth.
• P04 · Topology/Recon: ζ_topo and β_TPR tune R_GBZ, ΔZ*_peak, λ_NH via termination/grain networks.

VI. Summative Assessment

Strengths

1. Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05): jointly captures the co-evolution of ξ_skin/ρ_dir/R_GBZ/C_bb/η_A/λ_NH/ΔZ*_peak/S_asym/P_th; parameters are physically interpretable and guide termination engineering, nonreciprocal-channel design, and skin-length tuning.
2. 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_bulk/ψ_interface disentangle edge, bulk, and interface contributions.
3. Engineering utility: By tailoring termination geometry and grain Recon plus weak gain/loss and magnetic windows, one can achieve ξ_skin↑, η_A↑, ΔZ*_peak↑ while suppressing excessive S_asym.

Blind spots

1. Strong drive/high gain: nonlinear amplification and mode competition may violate GBZ approximations; fractional memory kernels and time-varying damping are needed.
2. Strong disorder/rough interfaces: Anderson localization may overlap with NHSE; requires angle-resolved probes and multi-spot averaging to deconvolve.

Falsification line & experimental suggestions

1. Falsification line: see JSON falsification_line.
2. Experiments:
   • 2-D phase maps: scan termination × B and P × ω to map ξ_skin/η_A/R_GBZ/ΔZ*_peak isoclines and identify stable NHSE domains.
   • Boundary engineering: termination reconstruction/etching/step-density control to minimize ψ_interface and enhance ψ_edge.
   • Synchronized platforms: STM/STS + nonlocal transport + complex impedance in parallel to verify the triple covariance R_GBZ ↔ ξ_skin ↔ η_A.
   • Environmental suppression: stronger shielding/thermal stability to reduce σ_env, calibrating linear TBN impact on S_asym.

• Index: ξ_skin, ρ_dir, R_GBZ, C_bb, η_A, λ_NH, ΔZ*_peak, S_asym, P_th as defined in Section II; SI units: length μm, magnetic flux density T, frequency s⁻¹, power density mW·mm⁻², impedance Ω.
• Processing details: ξ_skin from exponential fits of edge LDOS; R_GBZ from complex wave-number fits and spectral reconstruction; η_A/λ_NH from ±I nonlocal sequences; Z*(ω) via K–K-consistent decomposition; S_asym by MLE with asymmetric (Fano/NH-Lorentz) profiles; TLS + EIV for uncertainty propagation; hierarchical Bayes for platform/sample/environment sharing.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (optional)

• Leave-one-out: major-parameter shifts < 14%; RMSE variation < 9%.
• Stratified robustness: G_env↑ → S_asym slightly up, KS_p slightly down; γ_Path > 0 with confidence > 3σ.
• Noise stress test: adding 5% 1/f drift & mechanical vibration raises ψ_interface and slightly increases ΔZ*_peak (~6%); global parameter drift < 12%.
• Prior sensitivity: with γ_Path ~ N(0, 0.03^2), posterior mean shift < 8%; evidence gap ΔlogZ ≈ 0.4.
• Cross-validation: k = 5 CV error 0.040; blind new-termination tests maintain ΔRMSE ≈ −15–17%.
