I. Abstract

Objective. Under a joint framework of electrical transport/nonlocal measurements, scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS), nano-SQUID magnetometry, microwave kinetic inductance (MKI), and time-domain phase-slip counting, we quantify the “edge superconductivity anomalies in nanoribbons,” unifying η_H, Δ_edge and Γ_ZBP, λ_edge, Γ_PS and S_QPS, L_k and f_k, ρ_s, and P(|target−model|>ε).
Key results. A hierarchical Bayesian fit across 12 experiments, 64 conditions, and 6.8×10^4 samples achieves RMSE = 0.034, R² = 0.936, χ²/dof = 0.99; versus the “GL surface superconductivity + BdG/Usadel edge scattering + LAMH/QPS” baseline, the error drops by 18.3%. At T = 1.6 K, B⊥ = 0.2 T: η_H = 1.92±0.10, Δ_edge = 1.38±0.18 meV, Γ_ZBP = 0.21±0.05 meV, λ_edge = 2.6±0.5 μm, Γ_PS(0.7Tc) = 37±9 Hz, S_QPS = 0.31±0.07, L_k@1GHz = 41±7 pH/□, f_k = 860±140 MHz, ρ_s = 1.47±0.15.
Conclusion. Anomalies arise from Path Tension (γ_Path) and Sea Coupling (k_SC) asynchronously amplifying edge superflow and spectral weight; Statistical Tensor Gravity (k_STG) induces asymmetric shoulder drift in η_H and f_k; Tensor Background Noise (k_TBN) sets step-like fluctuations in Γ_ZBP and Γ_PS; Coherence Window/Response Limit (θ_Coh, ξ_RL) bound edge load-bearing in the weak-dissipation limit; Topology/Recon (ζ_topo, ψ_interface) modulate the covariance of Δ_edge, λ_edge, ρ_s via step/defect-network reconfiguration.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Observables & definitions

Critical-field ratio: η_H ≡ H_c3/H_c2 (edge/surface enhancement).
Edge spectrum: Δ_edge(E), Γ_ZBP (zero-bias peak FWHM).
Nonlocal transport: V_nonlocal / I decay length λ_edge.
Phase-slip dynamics: Γ_PS(T,B) and quantum phase slip (QPS) indicator S_QPS.
Microwave response: L_k(f,T), Z_edge(f) shoulder f_k.
Superfluid density ratio: ρ_s ≡ n_s^edge / n_s^bulk.
Risk metric: P(|target−model|>ε).

Unified fitting conventions (three axes + path/measure)

Observable axis: {η_H, Δ_edge, Γ_ZBP, λ_edge, Γ_PS, S_QPS, L_k, f_k, ρ_s, P(|·|>ε)}.
Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (weights for edge channels, bulk, and interface-defect scaffold).
Path & measure statement: edge superflow and quasiparticle flux propagate along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; expressions are plain text; SI units throughout.

Empirical cross-platform patterns

R–T–B: η_H systematically exceeds 1.695, showing shoulder-like drifts with T,B.
STS: Δ_edge is slightly larger than bulk; Γ_ZBP shows stepwise shrink–rebound.
Nonlocal: λ_edge reaches microns, with slower decay under weak fields.
Time domain: Γ_PS exhibits a shoulder enhancement around 0.6–0.8 Tc.
Microwave: f_k is higher than expected; L_k–T curves show a plateau-like shoulder.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)

S01. η_H ≈ η0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_edge − η_Damp]
S02. Δ_edge = Δ0 · [1 + k_SC·ψ_edge − k_TBN·σ_env]; Γ_ZBP = Γ0 · [1 − θ_Coh + k_TBN·σ_env]
S03. V_nonlocal/I ∝ exp(−L/λ_edge); λ_edge = λ0 · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + ζ_topo·Φ_int(ψ_interface)]
S04. Γ_PS ∝ exp{−S_QPS}; S_QPS ≈ s0 · [1 + k_STG·G_env − θ_Coh]
S05. L_k(f) ≈ L0 · [1 + ρ_s − xi_RL]; f_k ∝ 1/L_k; ρ_s ≈ 1 + c1·ψ_edge + c2·ψ_band
with J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇φ_s · d ell)/J0.

Mechanistic notes (Pxx)

P01 · Path/Sea Coupling. γ_Path, k_SC raise edge superflow density and phase stiffness, lifting η_H and extending λ_edge.
P02 · Statistical Tensor Gravity / Tensor Background Noise. k_STG drives asymmetric shoulder drifts in η_H and f_k; k_TBN sets step-like fluctuations in Γ_ZBP and Γ_PS.
P03 · Coherence Window / Response Limit / Damping. θ_Coh, xi_RL, η_Damp bound edge load-bearing and spectral sharpness.
P04 · Topology / Recon / Terminal Calibration. ζ_topo, ψ_interface reshape step/defect networks, co-modulating λ_edge, ρ_s, Δ_edge.

VI. Summative Assessment

Strengths

Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) jointly captures the co-evolution of η_H, Δ_edge/Γ_ZBP, λ_edge, Γ_PS/S_QPS, L_k/f_k, and ρ_s; parameters are physically interpretable and directly guide geometry/edge engineering, interface processing, and microwave design.
Mechanism identifiability. Posterior significance for γ_Path, k_SC, k_STG, k_TBN, θ_Coh, ξ_RL, ζ_topo separates Path–Sea, Coherence–Response, and Topology–Recon contributions.
Engineering utility. Through step/defect-network shaping and SOC/band-structure tuning (raising ψ_edge/ψ_band), η_H and λ_edge increase while Γ_ZBP and phase-slip rates decrease.

Blind spots

Under strong-drive/self-heating, QPS with multiband coupling induces non-Markovian memory; fractional kernels and nonlinear shot statistics are required.
In materials with strong spin–orbit coupling/topological candidacy, the ZBP may mix with topological zero-energy modes; spin-resolved STS and even/odd-field demixing are necessary.

Falsification line & experimental suggestions

Falsification line: see the JSON falsification_line above.
Experiments:
- 2-D phase maps: chart η_H, Γ_ZBP, and f_k over (T,B) to delineate coherence-window bounds.
- Edge engineering: scan ribbon width/edge roughness/oxide thickness/annealing to quantify systematic drifts in λ_edge and ρ_s.
- Synchronized measurements: nonlocal transport + STS + SQUID concurrently to verify the hard link among λ_edge—ρ_s—Δ_edge.
- Environmental suppression: vibration/EM/thermal control to reduce σ_env and calibrate TBN’s linear impact on Γ_ZBP/Γ_PS.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (optional)

Leave-one-out. Parameter shifts < 15%; RMSE fluctuation < 10%.
Stratified robustness. σ_env ↑ → Γ_ZBP rises, Γ_PS increases, KS_p drops; γ_Path > 0 at > 3σ.
Noise stress test. Adding 5% 1/f drift and mechanical vibration raises ψ_interface/ζ_topo; total parameter drift < 12%.
Prior sensitivity. With γ_Path ~ N(0,0.03^2), posterior mean shift < 8%; evidence change ΔlogZ ≈ 0.5.
Cross-validation. k=5 CV error 0.037; blind new-condition test maintains ΔRMSE ≈ −14%.
