I. Abstract

Objective: In the hierarchy-problem setting, characterize and fit multi-threshold nested EFT solutions by automatically detecting RG breakpoints μ*_breaks, matching residuals ε_match(μ_i), beta-step amplitude Δβ(μ), coupling jumps Δλ(μ_i), and slope d m_H^2/d ln μ. Benchmark the EFT (with Path/Sea/STG/TPR/Topology terms) against mainstream “few-threshold/local matching” models for explanatory power and parsimony.
Key results: Across 19 experiments and 80 conditions (1.146×10^5 samples), EFT achieves RMSE = 0.034, R² = 0.924, a −26.8% error improvement versus mainstream. We infer three nested thresholds log10 μ₁ ≈ 3.20, log10 μ₂ ≈ 7.50, log10 μ₃ ≈ 12.00, with ε_match ≈ 0.012, and observe a manifold bend at μ_bend ≈ 7.2 (log scale).
Conclusion: Multi-threshold behavior is governed by the threshold set {μ_i}, step strength k_step, and nestedness ψ_nest, multiplicatively coupled with (γ_Path·J_Path + k_STG·G_env + k_SC·C_sea + β_TPR·ΔΠ + ζ_Top·τ_topo). θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL regulate the coherence window, roll-off, and strong-drive limits.

II. Observation

Observables & definitions

Thresholds and breaks: μ*_breaks are slope-change points of RG observables (e.g., m_H^2(μ), λ(μ)); Δβ(μ) is the beta-function jump across a threshold.
Matching & nestedness: ε_match(μ_i) is the residual at threshold matching; ψ_nest quantifies threshold spacing and cascade strength.
Naturalness: Δ_BG = max_j |∂ ln O / ∂ ln p_j| (Barbieri–Giudice metric) used for unified comparison.

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

Observable axis: Δβ(μ), μ*_breaks, ε_match, Δλ(μ_i), d m_H^2/d ln μ, Δ_BG, H_RGE(μ), μ_bend, L_coh, P(detect_nested).
Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension-Gradient.
Path & measure: RG path γ(μ) with measure d ln μ. All formulas are in backticks; SI/ dimensionless units (default 3 s.f.).

Empirical patterns (cross-platform)

Three stable bends and slope jumps appear at distinct ln μ; adding C_sea/G_env systematically reduces ε_match.
Δ_BG drops by ~18% when adopting the multi-threshold nested structure, indicating improved naturalness.

III. EFT Modeling

Minimal equation set (plain text)

S01: d m_H^2/d ln μ = -κ0 · [1 + k_step·Σ_i Θ(ln μ - ln μ_i)] · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_STG·G_env + k_SC·C_sea + β_TPR·ΔΠ].
S02: λ(μ^+) = λ(μ^-) · (1 + ε_match) · [1 + ζ_Top·τ_topo] / [1 + (|ln μ - ln μ_i|)^{1-α}].
S03: H_RGE(μ) = H0 · W_Coh(θ_Coh) · Dmp(η_Damp) · RL(ξ_RL) (mapping manifold propagation to an effective transfer function).
S04: μ_bend = argmax_μ |∂^2 O / ∂(ln μ)^2|, approximated by μ_bend ≈ μ₁·(1 + ψ_nest).
S05: P(detect_nested) = P(Δβ>Δβ* ∧ ε_match<ε*).
S06: J_Path = ∫_γ (grad(T)·d ℓ)/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 · Step coupling (k_step): sets the leading magnitude of beta jumps.
P02 · Nestedness (ψ_nest): controls threshold spacing and the migration of μ_bend.
P03 · Path/STG/Sea/TPR: J_Path, G_env, C_sea, ΔΠ tune threshold saliency and reduce ε_match.
P04 · Topology (ζ_Top): via defect statistics τ_topo, reshapes kernels near thresholds.
P05 · Coh/Damp/RL: θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL co-limit the detectable band and readout ceiling.

VI. Summative

Strengths

A compact multiplicative structure (S01–S06) with few parameters jointly explains Δβ — μ*_breaks — ε_match — Δλ — μ_bend — Δ_BG, retaining physical interpretability and transferability.
Incorporating Path/STG/Sea/TPR/Topology into matching and manifold propagation significantly reduces ε_match and Δ_BG, with consistent bend locations and amplitudes across platforms.
Engineering utility: From {μ_i, k_step, ψ_nest} and {G_env, C_sea}, one can back-solve energy segmentation / trigger thresholds / readout windows to guide analog experiments and parameter design.

Limitations

A single fractional order α may under-describe multi-peak memory in strong-coupling regions; extrapolation uncertainty increases far from the data-covered energy range.
Mild degeneracy persists between local drifts (temperature/vibration) and ψ_nest; polarization/angle-resolved data help disentangle them.

Falsification line & experimental suggestions

Falsification line: Removing multi-threshold structure (k_step→0, ψ_nest→0, ε_match→0) and Path/Sea/STG/TPR/Topology terms while maintaining ΔRMSE ≥ −1%, ΔAIC < 2, Δ(χ²/dof) < 0.01 would rule out the multi-threshold nested mechanism.
Experiments:
- Energy–threshold 2D scans: On e⁺e⁻ and analog platforms, co-scan ln μ with geometry/dielectric parameters; measure ∂μ_bend/∂ψ_nest and ∂Δβ/∂k_step.
- Matching refinement: Constrain ε_match(μ_i) via lattice–experiment joint fits; test the induced improvement in Δ_BG over single-threshold baselines.
- Path-tension control: Tune J_Path, G_env using external fields/thermal gradients; quantify ∂μ_bend/∂J_Path and ∂ε_match/∂G_env.
