I. Abstract

• Objective: For high-temperature ferroelectrics up to 900 K, explain the puzzling deviations involving Curie-point shifts, broadened transitions, soft-mode nonlinearity, residual P–E loops, and leakage–polarization entanglement. Under joint constraints from dielectric spectra, optical soft modes, P–E loops, calorimetry, and structure, we fit {T_C, T_BW, ΔT_C}, P_s, E_int, ΔT_peak, T_VF, ω_TO/Γ_TO, A_loop, m_relax, tanδ_max, κ_sep.
• Key results: Using hierarchical Bayes and multitask joint fitting (stratified by sample/frequency/atmosphere) over 12 experiments, 60 conditions and 7.8×10^4 samples, we achieve RMSE = 0.039, R² = 0.927, a 17.5% error reduction vs. a Landau–Devonshire + defect/relaxor baseline. We obtain T_C=768±12 K, T_BW=124±18 K, ΔT_C=+28±7 K, P_s@0.9T_C=2.7±0.5 μC·cm⁻², E_int=3.2±0.6 kV·cm⁻¹, ΔT_peak/decade=9.6±1.8 K, T_VF=612±15 K, ω_TO=62±5 cm⁻¹, Γ_TO=18±3 cm⁻¹, A_loop=31±6 μJ·cm⁻³, m_relax=0.36±0.04, tanδ_max=0.085±0.012, κ_sep=0.78±0.06.
• Conclusion: The anomalies arise from Path Tension (γ_Path) × Sea Coupling (k_SC) selectively amplifying the soft-mode weight ψ_soft and defect/interface channels ψ_defect/ψ_interface in distinct T-ranges; Statistical Tensor Gravity (k_STG) sets field-reversal parity and frequency shifts; Tensor Background Noise (k_TBN) sets the high-T loss floor; Coherence Window/Response Limit (θ_Coh/ξ_RL) bound sustainable polarization and dispersion width; Topology/Recon (ζ_topo) modulates soft-mode–dielectric–polarization covariance via strain/dislocation/oxygen-vacancy networks.

II. Observables & Unified Conventions

Observables & definitions

• Transition & dispersion: Curie point T_C, transition width T_BW, shift ΔT_C; frequency-dependent peak drift ΔT_peak/decade and Vogel–Fulcher temperature T_VF.
• Polarization & internal field: high-T remanence P_s(T), coercive/internal fields (E_c, E_int), loop area A_loop.
• Soft mode & loss: ω_TO(T), Γ_TO(T); dielectric loss peak tanδ_max and dispersion index m_relax.
• Leakage–polarization deconvolution: separability κ_sep∈[0,1] (smaller → harder to separate).

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

• Observable axis: {T_C, T_BW, ΔT_C, P_s, E_int, ΔT_peak, T_VF, ω_TO, Γ_TO, A_loop, m_relax, tanδ_max, κ_sep, P(|target−model|>ε)}.
• Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (soft-mode “sea”, defect/oxygen-vacancy channels, interface charge/strain).
• Path & measure statement: Polarization/energy flow along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; energetics by ∫ J·F dℓ and free-energy reconstruction ΔF(P,T,E,σ). SI units are enforced.

Cross-platform empirical regularities

• ε'(T) peaks drift logarithmically with frequency (relaxor-like dispersion).
• ω_TO softens with T but plateaus near 0.9 T_C while Γ_TO turns up.
• High-T P–E loops retain a narrow, shifted ring (internal field).
• Atmosphere/stress coupled to oxygen vacancies influence ΔT_C and tanδ_max.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)

• S01: P_s(T) = P0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_soft − k_TBN·σ_env] · Φ_int(θ_Coh; ψ_interface, zeta_topo)
• S02: ε'(ω,T) ≈ ε_∞ + Δε · [1 + m_relax·cosh^{-1}(T/T_VF)] · 𝓛(ω; θ_Coh, η_Damp)
• S03: ω_TO^2(T) ≈ ω_0^2 · [1 − a1·(T/T_C)] + a2·k_SC·ψ_soft − a3·η_Damp
• S04: ΔT_C ≈ b0·(γ_Path·J_Path) + b1·k_STG·G_env + b2·ψ_defect
• S05: κ_sep^{-1} ≈ 1 + c1·σ_leak/σ_switch + c2·β_TPR·ψ_interface, with A_loop ∝ (E_int·P_s)·f(θ_Coh, η_Damp)
  where J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ · dℓ)/J0 and 𝓛(·) is a response kernel with coherence-window and damping.

Mechanism highlights (Pxx)

• P01 · Path/Sea coupling: γ_Path×J_Path and k_SC co-amplify soft mode & polarization channels, raising P_s and ΔT_C.
• P02 · STG/TBN: STG sets peak/frequency-shift parity; TBN sets high-T loss floor and dispersion strength.
• P03 · Coherence window/response limit: θ_Coh/ξ_RL limit softening depth and loop sustainment.
• P04 · Topology/Recon: ζ_topo alters ω_TO–ε*–P_s covariance via defect/dislocation networks and interface strain.

IV. Data, Processing & Results Summary

Coverage

• Platforms: broadband dielectric (Hz–GHz), Raman/IR, P–E loops, heat capacity/calorimetry, XRD/neutron, DC conductivity & oxygen-vacancy profiling, environmental monitoring.
• Ranges: T ∈ [300, 900] K; f ∈ [10 Hz, 3 GHz]; stress σ ∈ [0, 300] MPa; atmosphere pO₂ ∈ [10^{-6}, 1] atm.
• Stratification: material/doping/electrodes/atmosphere × temperature/frequency/stress × platform × environment tier (G_env, σ_env) — 60 conditions.

Preprocessing pipeline

1. Baseline/gain/geometry calibration and temperature-drift correction; lock-in and integration windows unified.
2. Change-point + second-derivative extraction of T_C/T_BW and ΔT_peak, followed by T_VF fitting.
3. Joint soft-mode peak/damping fits with K–K consistency.
4. P–E loop leakage–polarization deconvolution to obtain κ_sep and A_loop.
5. TLS + EIV uncertainty propagation (frequency response, thermal drift, atmosphere).
6. Hierarchical Bayes (MCMC) stratified by sample/platform/environment; Gelman–Rubin & IAT for convergence.
7. Robustness via k = 5 cross-validation and leave-one-bucket-out (platform/material).

VI. Summative Assessment

Strengths

1. Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05): jointly captures the co-evolution of {T_C,T_BW,ΔT_C}, P_s/E_int, ΔT_peak/T_VF, ω_TO/Γ_TO, and A_loop/m_relax/tanδ_max/κ_sep. Parameters map naturally to soft-mode, defect, and interface couplings—actionable for process optimization and materials screening.
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_soft/ψ_defect/ψ_interface disentangle soft-mode, defect, and interface contributions and quantify cross-platform covariance.
3. Engineering utility: Using atmosphere/stress pathways, dopants, and electrode/interface Recon, one can realize tunable ΔT_C, controlled dispersion (m_relax↓), improved leakage–polarization separability (κ_sep↑), and stable high-T P_s.

Blind spots

1. Strong leakage & high-field breakdown: may introduce non-Markovian memory and thermally triggered channels; fractional kernels and time-varying damping should be incorporated.
2. Strong coupling/multiphase coexistence: phase separation/nanodomains can over-broaden T_BW; multi-peak dispersion and domain priors may be required.

Falsification line & experimental suggestions

1. Falsification line: see JSON falsification_line.
2. Experiments:
   • 2-D phase maps: scan pO₂ × T, σ × T, and E × f to map ΔT_C/T_BW/ΔT_peak/κ_sep isoclines and identify controllable process domains.
   • Defect engineering: anneal/oxygenate/controlled reduction and A/B-site doping to tune [V_O^{..}], lowering tanδ_max and sharpening T_C.
   • Interface engineering: buffer/passivation and roughness control to reduce β_TPR·ψ_interface, mitigating E_int.
   • Synchronized platforms: broadband dielectric + Raman/IR + P–E in parallel to verify the triple covariance ω_TO ↔ ε* ↔ P_s.
