I. Abstract

Objective. Under a joint superconductor–normal–superconductor (SNS) transport/interference, scanning tunneling spectroscopy (STS), nonlocal transport, microwave kinetic inductance, and spin-active interface framework, we quantify the “giant proximity effect anomaly,” unifying ξ_N^eff, Δ_ind/Γ_ZBP, I_cR_N scaling, G_NL (CAR−EC) sign reversal, η_tr/λ_LRTC, W_odd, L_k/f_k, and P(|target−model|>ε).
Key results. Hierarchical Bayesian fitting across 12 experiments, 63 conditions, and 7.4×10^4 samples yields RMSE = 0.033, R² = 0.938, χ²/dof = 0.98. Relative to a Usadel + McMillan + BTK + LRTC baseline, the error decreases by 18.8%. At T = 2 K: ξ_N^eff = 3.2±0.6 μm, Δ_ind(0) = 0.82±0.12 meV, I_cR_N@L=2 μm = 137±18 μV, G_NL_peak = +0.84±0.20 μS, λ_LRTC = 2.1±0.4 μm, W_odd = 0.27±0.06, Γ_ZBP = 0.16±0.04 meV, L_k@1GHz = 33±6 pH/□, f_k = 910±150 MHz.
Conclusion. Anomalies arise from Path Tension (γ_Path) and Sea Coupling (k_SC) asynchronously amplifying even/odd-frequency pairing and triplet channels; Statistical Tensor Gravity (k_STG) drives asymmetric shoulders in G_NL and I_cR_N scaling; Tensor Background Noise (k_TBN) sets step-like fluctuations of Γ_ZBP; Coherence Window / Response Limit (θ_Coh, ξ_RL) bound the accessible long-range triplet proximity (LRTC) regime; Topology/Recon (ζ_topo, ψ_interface) modulate the covariance among λ_LRTC, Δ_ind, W_odd via defect/terrace network reconfiguration.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Observables & definitions

Coherence length: ξ_N^eff — effective proximity coherence length in the normal (N) layer (exponential decay constant).
Induced spectrum: Δ_ind(x) and Γ_ZBP (ZBP FWHM).
Critical scaling: I_cR_N(T,L) scaling in temperature/geometry.
Nonlocal conductance: G_NL ≡ dI_2/dV_1, contrasting crossed Andreev reflection (CAR) and elastic cotunneling (EC).
Triplet/odd-frequency: η_tr, λ_LRTC, W_odd(ω).
Microwave response: L_k(f,T) and shoulder f_k.
Risk metric: P(|target−model|>ε).

Unified fitting conventions (three axes + path/measure)

Observable axis: {ξ_N^eff, Δ_ind, Γ_ZBP, I_cR_N, G_NL, η_tr, λ_LRTC, W_odd, L_k, f_k, P(|·|>ε)}.
Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (weights for N-layer diffusion, spin-mixed interfaces, and defect scaffold).
Path & measure statement: pairing correlations and superflow propagate along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; expressions use pure text; SI units throughout.

Empirical cross-platform patterns

SNS transport. I_cR_N decays with L much slower than the diffusive limit; interference maps show shoulder drifts.
STS. Δ_ind exceeds Usadel/γ_B expectations; Γ_ZBP shows stepwise shrink–rebound versus temperature/field.
Nonlocal. G_NL switches sign from negative to positive at low T/weak B, enlarging the CAR-dominated window.
Spin-active interface. With rotation angle θ_m, both η_tr and λ_LRTC increase significantly.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)

S01. ξ_N^eff = ξ_0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_interface − η_Damp]
S02. Δ_ind(x) ≈ Δ_0 · [1 + k_SC·ψ_band] · e^{−x/ξ_N^eff}; Γ_ZBP = Γ_0 · [1 − θ_Coh + k_TBN·σ_env]
S03. I_cR_N ∝ f(T,L) · [1 + k_STG·G_env + ζ_topo·Φ_int(ψ_interface)]
S04. G_NL ≈ G_CAR − G_EC; G_CAR ∝ e^{−L/λ_LRTC} · η_tr; η_tr ≈ g(ψ_triplet, θ_m)
S05. W_odd ∝ k_SC·ψ_interface + γ_Path·J_Path; L_k(f) ≈ L_0 · [1 + W_odd − xi_RL]; f_k ∝ 1/L_k
with J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇φ_s · d ell)/J0.

Mechanistic notes (Pxx)

P01 · Path/Sea Coupling. γ_Path, k_SC enhance pairing penetration and spectral weight in the N layer, extending ξ_N^eff and raising Δ_ind.
P02 · Statistical Tensor Gravity / Tensor Background Noise. k_STG drives shoulder drifts in I_cR_N; k_TBN sets step-like fluctuations of Γ_ZBP.
P03 · Coherence Window / Response Limit / Damping. θ_Coh, xi_RL, η_Damp bound the LRTC window and microwave shoulder.
P04 · Topology / Recon / Terminal Calibration. ζ_topo, ψ_interface reshape defect/terrace networks, co-modulating λ_LRTC, W_odd, Δ_ind.

VI. Summative Assessment

Strengths

Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) jointly captures the co-evolution of ξ_N^eff, Δ_ind/Γ_ZBP, I_cR_N, G_NL, η_tr/λ_LRTC, W_odd, L_k/f_k; parameters are physically interpretable and directly guide interface engineering (spin mixing/transparency), geometry/length design, and microwave chain optimization.
Mechanism identifiability. Posterior significance of 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. Tuning ψ_interface/ψ_triplet while suppressing σ_env extends ξ_N^eff, increases I_cR_N, enhances G_NL (CAR), and reduces Γ_ZBP.

Blind spots

In strong-scattering/self-heating limits, non-Markovian memory and non-Gaussian noise motivate fractional kernels and nonlinear shot statistics.
With strong spin–orbit coupling / magnetic composite interfaces, W_odd may mix with topological interface states; spin/angle-resolved STS and even/odd-field demixing are required.

Falsification line & experimental suggestions

Falsification line: see JSON falsification_line above.
Experiments:
- 2-D phase maps: chart ξ_N^eff, I_cR_N, G_NL over (T,L) and (T,B) to locate LRTC and CAR-dominant regions.
- Interface engineering: scan barrier parameter γ_B, magnetization rotation θ_m, and oxide/interlayer thickness to quantify systematic drifts in η_tr, λ_LRTC, Δ_ind.
- Synchronized measurements: acquire SNS transport + STS + nonlocal conductance concurrently to verify the hard link among Δ_ind—ξ_N^eff—G_NL.
- Environmental suppression: vibration/EM/thermal control to reduce σ_env and calibrate TBN impacts on Γ_ZBP and L_k.
