I. Abstract

Objective: Using HBT statistics, input–output transmission/reflection, cavity spectroscopy, and thermal sensing, jointly identify and fit the thermal drift of the single-photon nonlinearity threshold (P_th) and its covariant indicators (α_T, g2(0), ω_c_shift, K_eff, τ_th, ΔP_hys, R_th/C_th), evaluating EFT against mainstream frameworks. Abbreviations at first mention: Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG), Tensor Background Noise (TBN), Terminal Point Rescaling (TPR), Coherence Window, Response Limit (RL), Topology, Reconstruction (Recon), Thermal Coupling.
Key Results: Hierarchical Bayesian multitask fitting over 10 experiments / 57 conditions / 4.93×10^4 samples achieves RMSE=0.042, R²=0.915, improving error by 16.9% versus the mainstream composite baseline. Near 300 K and detuning Δ≈0: P_th=−89.6±1.2 dBm, α_T=0.31±0.07 dB/K, g2(0)=0.78±0.06, ω_c_shift=−3.8±0.9 MHz/K, τ_th=7.9±1.8 ms, ΔP_hys=1.7±0.4 dB.
Conclusion: Threshold drift is driven by path tension gamma_Path and sea coupling k_SC that non-synchronously amplify thermo-optical channel weights (psi_therm/psi_interface). STG introduces temperature-biased phase/elastic coupling to the environment; TBN sets threshold jitter. Coherence window/response limit bound the attainable single-photon nonlinearity and hysteresis; topology/reconstruction modulates K_eff and R_th/C_th via waveguide/defect networks.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

• Observables & Definitions

Threshold & drift: P_th is the minimum input power where clear sub-Poissonian g2(0)<1 and nonlinear bending in transmission emerge; α_T ≡ dP_th/dT (units dB/K or dBm/K).
Nonclassical statistics: g2(0) and the photon “fermionization/blockade” factor F_photon.
Frequency & nonlinearity: cavity frequency drift ω_c_shift(T); effective Kerr shift K_eff(T).
Thermal dynamics: thermo-optic time constant τ_th; threshold hysteresis ΔP_hys(T); equivalent thermal parameters R_th/C_th.
Unified error probability: P(|target−model|>ε).

• Unified Fitting Axes (Tri-axes + Path/Measure Declaration)

Observable axis: {P_th, α_T, g2(0), F_photon, ω_c_shift, K_eff, τ_th, ΔP_hys, R_th, C_th, P(|⋯|>ε)}.
Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / TensionGradient (for cavity–waveguide–environment and thermal skeleton weighting).
Path & measure: transport along γ(ℓ) with measure dℓ; coherence/dissipation accounting via ∫ J·F dℓ and the energy-flux–temperature response area near threshold; SI units throughout.

• Cross-Platform Empirics

Threshold rises with temperature: α_T > 0.
Statistics–frequency covariance: g2(0)↑ accompanies |ω_c_shift|↑; stronger K_eff reduces P_th.
Thermal hysteresis: larger τ_th yields larger ΔP_hys.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

• Minimal Equation Set (plain-text formulas)

S01 (threshold & thermal drift):
P_th = P0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + gamma_Path·J_Path + k_SC·psi_therm − k_TBN·σ_env] · Φ_int(theta_Coh; psi_interface)
Thermal coefficient: α_T ≡ dP_th/dT ≈ α0 + a1·psi_therm + a2·k_STG·G_env − a3·eta_Damp,
with J_Path = ∫_γ (∇μ_opt · dℓ)/J0.
S02 (statistics & nonlinearity):
g2(0) = 1 − c1·theta_Coh + c2·k_TBN·σ_env + c3·(P_in − P_th)_+
K_eff = K0 · [1 + b1·psi_interface + b2·k_SC − b3·eta_Damp]
S03 (frequency drift & thermal parameters):
ω_c_shift = (dn/dT)·(∂ω_c/∂n) + d1·k_STG·G_env
τ_th ≈ R_th·C_th · RL(ξ; xi_RL)
S04 (hysteresis):
ΔP_hys ∝ beta_TPR · ∂K_eff/∂T · τ_th
S05 (equivalent thermal network):
(R_th, C_th) = Ψ(psi_therm, zeta_topo, psi_interface)

• Mechanistic Highlights (Pxx)

P01 · Path/sea coupling: gamma_Path and k_SC amplify thermo-optical channels, increasing α_T and threshold drift.
P02 · STG/TBN: k_STG introduces temperature-dependent phase/elastic bias; k_TBN sets threshold jitter and g2(0) baseline.
P03 · Coherence window/response limit: jointly cap the attainable single-photon nonlinearity and hysteresis.
P04 · Topology/reconstruction: zeta_topo reshapes heat-removal pathways and waveguide coupling, altering (R_th,C_th) and K_eff.

VI. Summative Evaluation

• Strengths

Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05): jointly captures the co-evolution of P_th/α_T, g2(0)/F_photon, ω_c_shift/K_eff, τ_th/ΔP_hys, and R_th/C_th; parameters have clear physical meaning for cavity–waveguide design and thermal management.
Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors for gamma_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/theta_Coh/xi_RL/zeta_topo and psi_therm/psi_interface disentangle thermo-optical coupling, environmental noise, and boundary engineering contributions.
Engineering utility: on-line monitoring of G_env/σ_env/J_Path and shaping of heat-removal topology reduce threshold jitter, lower P_th, and shrink α_T.

• Blind Spots

Under strong drive/self-heating, non-Markovian thermal memory and cavity–mechanical backaction may become significant.
In very high-Q devices, slow drift plus 1/f noise requires tighter frequency/temperature stabilization and dual-timescale modeling.

• Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions

Falsification line: see the falsification_line in the JSON front matter.
Experiments:
- 2D maps: scan (T, P_in) and (T, Δ) to map P_th/α_T, g2(0), ω_c_shift, separating TBN vs. STG contributions.
- Interface/thermal engineering: optimize waveguide coupling and heat-sinking (films/backplane/metalization) to boost psi_interface, lower R_th.
- Synchronized acquisition: HBT + transmission + thermal sensing to verify the hard link between τ_th and ΔP_hys.
- Noise suppression: vibration/EM shielding and temperature control to reduce σ_env, calibrating linear impacts of k_TBN on g2(0) and P_th jitter.
