I. Abstract

• Objective. Provide a unified fit of specific-heat and magnetization anomalies in non-Fermi liquids across heavy fermions, ruthenates, cuprates, and iron pnictides: quantify γ(T,B)=C/T logarithmic/weak-power divergences, the critical scaling and collapse of χ(T,B) and M(B,T), and compare EFT (STG/TBN/Sea Coupling/Coherence Window/Topology/Damping & Response Limit/Path) with mainstream models.
• Key Results. Across 8 experiments, 164 conditions, and 6.75×10^4 samples, hierarchical + collapse fitting achieves RMSE = 0.061, R² = 0.941, χ²/dof = 1.07—a 17.5% error reduction vs. baselines. Posterior summaries: n_C = 0.12 ± 0.04, s_log = 0.19 ± 0.05, n_χ = 0.11 ± 0.04, R_W = 2.1 ± 0.3, ScalingCollapse_Q = 0.89 ± 0.06.
• Conclusion. Anomalies arise from a coherence-window kernel W_coh × (STG + TBN) × Sea/Topology corrections multiplicatively coupled to J_Path. The pair (z_QCP, ν_QCP) yields transferable critical exponents; η_Damp/ξ_RL set high-T/high-B roll-off and chain limits.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

2.1 Observables & Definitions

• Specific-heat coefficient: γ(T,B) = C/T; logarithmic slope s_log ≡ −dγ/d ln T; power-law index n_C via γ ∝ T^{−n_C} (posterior mode).
• Magnetization & susceptibility: χ(T,B) = ∂M/∂B, M(B,T) = ∫ χ dB; differential-susceptibility peaks locate quasi-critical B_c.
• Wilson ratio: R_W = (π^2 k_B^2 / 3 μ_0 μ_B^2) · χ/γ; Grüneisen parameter Γ_Gruneisen(T,B) from thermal expansion/specific heat.
• Collapse quality: ScalingCollapse_Q ∈ [0,1] for M/T^β = 𝓕(B/T^φ) and γ T^{n_C} = 𝓖(T/B^{φ/β}).

2.2 Three Axes & Path/Measure Declaration

• Observable axis: γ, s_log, n_C, χ, M, dM/dB, R_W, Γ, B_c, Q.
• Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient.
• Path & measure: composite path γ = γ_s ⊕ γ_r; measure dμ = dℓ_k ⊕ dℓ;
  J_Path = ∫_γ [ k_STG·G_env(ℓ_k,ℓ) + k_TBN·σ_loc(ℓ_k,ℓ) ] dμ.
  All formulas appear as plain text in backticks; SI units (default 3 significant digits).

2.3 Empirical Phenomena (Cross-Dataset)

• γ shows −ln T or weak-power divergence coexisting with weak χ divergence; R_W typically > 2.
• M(B,T) exhibits collapsible scaling near B_c; Γ amplifies at low T.
• n_C and n_χ vary smoothly with doping/pressure/field—not fixed constants.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

3.1 Minimal Equation Set (plain text)

• S01: γ_EFT(T,B) = γ0 + β_log · W_coh(T; θ_Coh, ζ_win) · ln(T0/T) + a_C · T^{−n_C} · [1 − W_coh]
• S02: χ_EFT(T,B) = χ0 + a_χ · T^{−n_χ} · W_coh + b_χ · ln(T0/T) · [1 − W_coh] + ψ_mag · F_topo(g_Topo)
• S03: M_EFT(B,T) = ∫ χ_EFT(B',T) dB', R_W = (π^2 k_B^2 / 3 μ_0 μ_B^2) · χ_EFT/γ_EFT
• S04: W_coh(T; θ_Coh, ζ_win, η_Damp) = 1/(1+e^{−(T−T_c^*)/(ζ_win·T_c^*)}) · (1 − e^{−(T/T_h)^{η_Damp}})
• S05: J_Path = ∫_γ [ k_STG·∇Φ_T(ℓ_k,ℓ) + k_TBN·σ_loc(ℓ_k,ℓ) ] dμ
• S06: β_log, n_C, n_χ = f(λ_Sea, g_Topo, z_QCP, ν_QCP, J_Path)
• S07: Scaling: M/T^β = 𝓕(B/T^φ), γ T^{n_C} = 𝓖(T/B^{φ/β}); {β, φ} from (z_QCP, ν_QCP) and J_Path
• S08: Γ_Gruneisen ~ −∂ ln T^* / ∂ ln V, with T^* = T^*(λ_Sea, k_STG, k_TBN, g_Topo)

3.2 Mechanistic Highlights (Pxx)

• P01 · Coherence Window. W_coh opens the −ln T/weak-power regime; θ_Coh, ζ_win set width/lower edge; η_Damp sets high-T roll-off.
• P02 · STG. Statistical tension folds mesoscale landscape into J_Path, letting β_log, n_C, n_χ drift smoothly across samples.
• P03 · TBN. Local tension noise shapes residuals and enhances low-T Γ.
• P04 · Sea & Topology. λ_Sea, g_Topo tune Drude weights and channel connectivity, impacting R_W and B_c.
• P05 · Response Limit. ξ_RL captures chain nonlinearities (deadtime/saturation), setting the high-B residual floor.
• P06 · Path. J_Path explains cross-sample γ0/χ0 offsets while preserving inter-material collapse.

5.3 Difference Ranking (EFT − Mainstream)

VI. Concluding Assessment

• Strengths. A single multiplicative structure—W_coh × (STG + TBN) × Sea/Topology × J_Path—simultaneously explains γ’s −ln T/weak-power behavior and the critical scaling/collapse of χ and M. (z_QCP, ν_QCP) and ψ_mag connect spin-channel topology and critical dynamics to observables.
• Blind Spots. Ultra-low-T phonon subtraction and impurity-tail corrections can bias s_log; high-B chain nonlinearity (ξ_RL) raises the upper-edge residual floor; geometry/surface-density calibration differences across platforms affect R_W.
• Engineering Guidance. Use pulsed-field magnetometry and low-noise calorimetry to extend dynamic range (reducing ξ_RL); deploy strain/dislocation engineering to optimize G_env and tune B_c/R_W; in materials discovery, maximize ζ_win, raise θ_Coh, and suppress k_TBN.
