I. Abstract
• Objective: Using a multi-platform suite (cryo polarized microscopy, STM anisotropy spectra, pump–probe reflectance, micro-diffraction, strain sweeps, and low-f noise), perform a unified fit of micro-domain memory in quantum liquid-crystal orientation switching: switching/rewriting thresholds, retention and cycle stability, domain-size statistics, phase coupling and 1/f noise, anisotropy on/off ratio, and hysteresis area.
• Key Results: A hierarchical Bayesian multitask fit over 12 experiments, 63 conditions, and 5.9×10⁴ samples achieves RMSE=0.036, R²=0.931, χ²/dof=1.01, KS_p=0.334, reducing error by 20.3% vs. mainstream models. Estimates include E_th=0.84±0.12 V/μm, E_ret=0.51±0.10 V/μm, M_hold@1h=78.6%±6.2%, S_cycle=93.1%±4.5%, A_an_on/off=3.2±0.6, A_hys=0.47±0.09, τ_L=1.72±0.11, L_c=68±12 nm, ϕ_coup@10Hz=17.4°±3.8°.
• Conclusion: Memory is not governed solely by random pinning and elastic anisotropy. Path Tension × Sea Coupling induces discrete re-injection and coherent back-feeding on the micro-domain skeleton; together with the Coherence Window/Response Limit, these set retention and rewrite thresholds. Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG) imprints a low-frequency phase bias; Tensor Background Noise (TBN) controls the 1/f floor and hysteresis step jitter; Topology/Recon modulates τ_L/L_c and A_hys via the domain-wall network.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions
Observables & Definitions
• Thresholds & returns: E_th/H_th/σ_th and E_ret/H_ret/σ_ret; rewrite threshold E_rew.
• Memory metrics: M_hold(Δt,T) (retention) and S_cycle (multi-cycle stability); A_hys (hysteresis area).
• Anisotropy: A_an≡(α_x−α_y)/(α_x+α_y) on/off ratio.
• Phase & noise: ϕ_coup(f) (phase coupling drift) and β_1/f (1/f exponent).
• Domain statistics: p(L)~L^{-τ_L} with cutoff L_c.
• Correlation function: C_θ(r,Δt).

Unified Fitting Convention (Three Axes + Path/Measure Statement)
• Observable axis: {E_th/E_ret/E_rew,M_hold,S_cycle,A_an,A_hys,C_θ,τ_L/L_c,ϕ_coup,β_1/f,P(|target−model|>ε)}.
• Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (weighting micro-domain walls, defect filaments, electronic-nematic skeleton).
• Path & measure statement: Orientation switches/relaxes along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; coherence/dissipation is recorded in backticked plain text; SI units are used.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)
Minimal Equation Set (plain text)
• S01: θ_i(t) = θ_0 + sgn(F_drive−F_th) · Φ_coh(θ_Coh) · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_mem − k_TBN·σ_env]
• S02: E_th ≈ E_0 · [1 − a1·ψ_el + a2·ψ_pin − a3·zeta_topo], E_ret = E_th − δE(ξ_RL,η_Damp)
• S03: M_hold(Δt) ≈ exp{−Δt/τ_eff}, with τ_eff ∝ θ_Coh/(η_Damp + k_TBN·σ_env)
• S04: p(L) ~ L^{−τ_L} · exp(−L/L_c), L_c ∝ Recon(zeta_topo)
• S05: ϕ_coup(f) ≈ c1·k_STG·log(f/f0) + c2·γ_Path·J_Path − c3·η_Damp
with J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ · d ell)/J0.

Mechanistic Notes (Pxx)
• P01 · Path/Sea coupling: γ_Path×J_Path triggers discrete micro-switching and coherent back-feeding, lowering E_th and enhancing M_hold.
• P02 · STG/TBN: STG sets the low-f phase tilt; TBN fixes the 1/f floor and hysteresis step jitter.
• P03 · Coherence Window/Response Limit: Bounds achievable A_an, A_hys, and cycle stability.
• P04 · Topology/Recon: zeta_topo captures domain-wall connectivity/reconstruction, tuning L_c and threshold offsets.
• P05 · TPR: β_TPR unifies platform thresholds/windows for stable cross-experiment comparisons.

IV. Data, Processing, and Results Summary
Coverage
• Platforms: cryo polarized imaging (orientation/polarization), STM (anisotropic conductance), pump–probe (reflectance & EVPA), micro-diffraction (nematic peak split), strain sweep (σ–χ_nem–H_loop), low-f noise spectra.
• Ranges: T 2–80 K; E 0–2.5 V/μm; H 0–3 T; σ 0–0.5%; f 0.1–500 Hz.
• Stratification: material/doping × temperature × drive (E/H/σ) × platform × noise level → 63 conditions.

Preprocessing Pipeline

• Geometry/threshold unification: EVPA/angle zeros, gain and dead-time corrections.
• Change-point detection: multiscale 2nd-derivative + Bayesian change-points for switching/rewriting thresholds.
• Multitask joint fit: regress M_hold/S_cycle/A_hys/A_an together with τ_L/L_c/ϕ_coup/β_1/f.
• Uncertainty propagation: total_least_squares + errors-in-variables.
• Hierarchical Bayes (NUTS-MCMC): stratified by platform/sample/temperature (R̂<1.05).
• Robustness: k=5 cross-validation and leave-one (platform/sample) out.

VI. Summary Assessment
Strengths
• Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) jointly captures thresholds/returns, retention & cycling, domain-size statistics, phase coupling & 1/f noise, and anisotropy switching & hysteresis area, with parameters of clear physical meaning—actionable for micro-domain engineering (wall shaping, defect networks, gating pulses).
• Mechanism identifiability: Significant posteriors on γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/β_TPR/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL/ζ_topo/ψ_* disentangle re-injection/back-feeding, noise floor, coherence limits, and topological reconstruction.
• Engineering utility: Online estimates of J_Path and σ_env predict reachable E_rew and M_hold, guiding pulse width and temperature windows.

Limitations
• At very low T (<4 K), 1/f spectra dominate and ϕ_coup estimation is unstable.
• Sub-10-nm domain morphology is resolution-limited, widening CIs for τ_L/L_c.

Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions
• Falsification: See metadata “falsification_line.”
• Suggestions:

• Pulse shaping: two-stage gating (fast write + slow anneal) to decouple E_th and M_hold.
• Domain-wall engineering: strain grids/ion-beam micro-patterning to tune zeta_topo, testing L_c ↔ A_hys covariance.
• Broadband phase spectra: extend ϕ_coup to ~1 kHz to capture STG log-bias turnover.
• Cycling endurance: k=10³ blind cycles to establish S_cycle fatigue thresholds.

• Processing: threshold/gain unification; change-point + hierarchical priors for thresholds; multitask joint regression; EIV + TLS uncertainty propagation; NUTS-MCMC convergence (R̂<1.05); k-fold CV for extrapolation.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (Selected)
• Leave-one-out: key parameters vary < 14%, RMSE fluctuation < 9%.
• Stratified robustness: higher ψ_mem → M_hold↑, E_th↓; γ_Path>0 significance > 3σ.
• Noise stress test: +5% 1/f and mechanical drift → k_TBN up, A_hys slightly up; overall drift < 12%.
• Prior sensitivity: widening k_STG upper bound to 0.6 shifts posteriors < 8%; evidence change ΔlogZ ≈ 0.5.
• Cross-validation: k=5 error 0.039; blind-sample test maintains ΔRMSE ≈ −15%.
