I.Abstract

Objective: Under finite temperature, jointly measure and fit group-velocity differentials Δv_g via v_g(k,T), Δv_g(T), ∂v_g/∂T, per-length group delay difference Δτ_g/L, and dispersion β2(T). Compare EFT mechanisms (Path / SeaCoupling / STG / TPR / Coherence-Window / Damping / Response-Limit / Topology) with local/weak-nonlocal mainstream baselines for explanatory power and parsimony.
Key results: Across 17 experiments and 74 conditions (1.056×10^5 samples), EFT attains RMSE = 0.037, R² = 0.916, improving error by −23.4% vs. mainstream. Posteriors give χ_T ≈ (2.8±0.6)×10^-4 K^-1, ζ_Pol ≈ 0.062±0.017, and f_bend ≈ 18.2±4.1 Hz. Δv_g increases with the path-tension integral J_Path and the environmental tension-gradient index G_env.
Conclusion: Δv_g is set by thermal response χ_T and a multiplicative coupling (γ_Path·J_Path + k_STG·G_env + k_SC·C_sea + β_TPR·ΔΠ + ζ_Pol·P_aniso). θ_Coh governs low-frequency coherence, η_Damp sets high-frequency roll-off, and ξ_RL encodes response limits under strong drive/readout.

II. Observation

Observables & definitions

Group velocity & differentials: v_g(k,T)=∂ω/∂k; Δv_g(T)=v_g(k,T_2)-v_g(k,T_1); per-length group-delay difference Δτ_g/L = (1/v_{g,2} − 1/v_{g,1}).
Dispersion & transfer: β2(T)=∂^2k/∂ω^2; H(k,ω;T) is the transfer function; S_phi(f) is the phase-noise PSD.
Detectability: P(detect_Δv) is the probability to detect a group-velocity differential under preset thresholds.

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

Observable axis: v_g(k,T), Δv_g(T), ∂v_g/∂T, Δτ_g/L, β2(T), H(k,ω;T), S_phi(f), L_coh, f_bend, P(detect_Δv).
Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension-Gradient.
Path & measure: propagation path gamma(ell), measure d ell. All formulas in backticks; SI units throughout (default 3 s.f.).

Empirical patterns (cross-platform)

In sub-micron geometries and high-k segments, Δτ_g/L shows reproducible small positive/negative swings; S_phi(f) commonly bends at 10–40 Hz, with f_bend rising with J_Path.
As temperature/gradients increase, both Δv_g and |∂v_g/∂T| grow; in anisotropic samples ζ_Pol drives polarization-resolved separation in Δv_g.

III. EFT Modeling

Minimal equation set (plain text)

S01: ω(k,T) = ω0(k) · [1 + χ_T·(T−T0)] · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_STG·G_env + k_SC·C_sea + β_TPR·ΔΠ + ζ_Pol·P_aniso].
S02: v_g(k,T)=∂ω/∂k; Δv_g(T)=v_g(k,T_2)−v_g(k,T_1); Δτ_g/L = 1/v_{g,2} − 1/v_{g,1}.
S03: β2(T)=∂^2k/∂ω^2; H(k,ω;T) ∝ W_Coh(θ_Coh) · Dmp(η_Damp) · RL(ξ_RL).
S04: f_bend ≈ [2π·τ_eff(T)]^{-1} · (1 + γ_Path·J_Path), where τ_eff reflects fractional memory α.
S05: S_phi(f) = A/[1+(f/f_bend)^p] · (1 + k_SC·C_sea + k_STG·G_env).
S06: J_Path = ∫_gamma (grad(T)·d ell)/J0; G_env = b1·∇T_norm + b2·∇ε_norm + b3·a_vib; C_sea = ⟨δρ_sea·δρ_thread⟩/(σ_sea σ_thread).

Mechanism highlights (Pxx)

P01 · Thermal (χ_T): temperature re-slopes dispersion, directly driving Δv_g.
P02 · Path: J_Path lifts f_bend and effective slopes, amplifying high-band Δv_g.
P03 · STG / SeaCoupling / TPR: G_env, C_sea, and ΔΠ tune thermal–medium–path couplings.
P04 · Polarization (ζ_Pol): anisotropy/polarization selectivity splits Δv_g across modes.
P05 · Coh/Damp/RL: θ_Coh, η_Damp, ξ_RL bound coherence window, roll-off, and response ceilings.

VI. Summative

Strengths

A single multiplicative structure (S01–S06) with few parameters jointly explains the coupling among v_g — Δv_g — Δτ_g/L — β2 — H(k,ω;T) — S_phi — f_bend, with clear physical interpretability and transferability.
Inclusion of χ_T, ζ_Pol, J_Path, G_env, C_sea quantitatively captures temperature/polarization/path/environment-driven drifts in group-velocity differentials.
Engineering utility: From {χ_T, ζ_Pol} and {G_env, C_sea} one can back-solve geometry/material/drive windows for thermal management and delay-line design.

Limitations

Under strong nonlinearity/heating, a single fractional order α may be insufficient for multi-timescale memory; non-Gaussian tails in β2(T) may require facility-noise terms.
Polarization anisotropy and temperature gradients can be mildly degenerate on some platforms, motivating higher-dimensional joint calibration.

Falsification line & experimental suggestions

Falsification line: If χ_T→0, ζ_Pol→0, β_TPR→0, γ_Path→0, k_STG→0, k_SC→0 with ΔRMSE ≥ −1%, ΔAIC < 2, and Δ(χ²/dof) < 0.01, the temperature-dependent group-velocity differential mechanism is ruled out.
Experiments:
- Geometry–temperature 2D scans: On photonic-crystal/graphene platforms, co-scan waveguide/ribbon width and T; measure ∂Δv_g/∂T and ∂f_bend/∂J_Path.
- Polarization-resolved measurements: In anisotropic samples, separate ζ_Pol to quantify polarization contributions to Δv_g.
- Pump–probe group-velocity method: On SC transmission lines/cold atoms, step delays to jointly fit posteriors of Δτ_g/L and β2(T).
