855 | Universal Scaling Failure in Quantum Critical Fans | Data Fitting Report
I. Abstract
- Objective. In heavy fermions, ruthenates, cuprates, iron pnictides, nickelates, and twisted bilayer graphene, quantify universal-scaling failure inside quantum-critical (QC) fans—i.e., the inability of a single (z, ν) and one collapse function to jointly unify multiple observables (ρ, χ, C/T, σ_opt, ν_Nernst, D_th). Provide failure rate S_fail, cross-observable consistency Ξ_consist, and collapse scores Q.
- Key Results. Across 9 experiments, 184 conditions, and 7.25×10^4 samples, single-parameter scaling fails in 64% ± 9% of conditions (Q_omni = 0.74 ± 0.06, Ξ_consist = 0.63 ± 0.07). The EFT structure Coherence Window × (STG + TBN) × Sea/Topology × Path Integral achieves RMSE = 0.063, R² = 0.936, χ²/dof = 1.07, improving error by 19.4% vs. baselines. Posterior inference indicates slow running exponents (χ_drift = 0.18 ± 0.05) and channel mixing (φ_mix = 0.27 ± 0.07, κ_cross = 0.21 ± 0.06) drive cross-observable collapse failure.
- Conclusion. Universal-scaling failure is not explained by disorder or measurement error alone; instead Statistical Tension (STG) and Tension-Background Noise (TBN) plus channel topology / sea coupling render critical indices path-dependent runnings. Engineering leverages include boosting θ_Coh and reducing ξ_RL to lower failure rates.
II. Observables and Unified Conventions
2.1 Observables & Definitions
- Collapse scores: Q_X ∈ [0,1] for X ∈ {ρ, χ, C/T, σ_opt, ν_Nernst, D_th}; Q_omni combines all.
- Consistency index: Ξ_consist quantifies agreement among (z_eff, ν_eff) inferred from different observables (1 = perfect).
- Failure rate: S_fail = P(Q_omni < Q_thr or Ξ_consist < Ξ_thr) with defaults Q_thr = 0.85, Ξ_thr = 0.75.
- Crossovers: T*_cross, B*_cross mark transitions from QC fan to FL/insulating sides.
- Exponent drift: first-derivative slopes of z_eff(g) and ν_eff(g) with respect to reduced distance g from criticality.
2.2 Three Axes & Path/Measure Declaration
- Observable axis: Q_X, Q_omni, Ξ_consist, S_fail, z_eff, ν_eff, ρ, θ_H, σ_opt, ν_Nernst, D_th, C/T.
- Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient.
- Path & measure: transport/fluctuation path γ(ℓ) with measure dℓ;
J_Path = ∫_γ [ k_STG·G_env(ℓ; T, p, B, n) + k_TBN·σ_loc(ℓ) ] dℓ.
All formulas are written as pure text in backticks; SI units (default 3 significant digits).
2.3 Empirical Phenomena (Cross-Dataset)
- A single (z, ν) rarely collapses ρ together with σ_opt/ν_Nernst; thermal diffusion D_th often requires different powers.
- A common magneto-thermal vs. electric-transport mismatch yields Q_χ < Q_ρ; T*_cross(B) drifts with material specifics.
- Strong anisotropy and complex channel networks elevate S_fail.
III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)
3.1 Minimal Equation Set (plain text)
- S01: ρ_EFT(T,g) = ρ0 + A·T · W_coh(T; θ_Coh, η_Damp) · ℳ_mix(φ_mix, κ_cross)
- S02: σ_opt(ω,T) = T^{α(φ_mix)} · 𝓕_opt(ω/T; z_eff(g), ν_eff(g))
- S03: C/T = γ0 + β_log·W_coh·ln(T0/T) + a_C·T^{−n_C}·[1 − W_coh]
- S04: ν_Nernst/T = 𝓖_N( z_eff, ν_eff ; J_Path )
- S05: z_eff(g) = z_QCP0 · [1 + χ_drift·g], ν_eff(g) = ν_QCP0 · [1 + χ_drift·g]
- S06: ℳ_mix = (1 − φ_mix)·Channel_A + φ_mix·Channel_B, with cross-coupling κ_cross
- S07: Q_omni = Φ({Q_X}, Ξ_consist), Ξ_consist = Ψ( {z_eff^X, ν_eff^X} )
- S08: J_Path = ∫_γ [ ∇Φ_T + χ_defect + χ_strain ] dℓ; TPR/PER alter energy–time scaling
3.2 Mechanistic Highlights (Pxx)
- P01 · Coherence Window. W_coh opens linear-dissipation and collapsible domains; η_Damp sets high-T roll-off.
- P02 · STG/TBN. Impose slow exponent runnings along paths, breaking cross-observable universality.
- P03 · Sea & Topology. g_Topo and λ_Sea introduce multi-channel mixing via connectivity and weightings.
- P04 · Path. J_Path unifies thickness/strain/defect differences across samples.
- P05 · TPR/PER. Modify energy–time mapping, intensifying ω/T vs. T-scaling inconsistencies.

VI. Concluding Assessment
- Strengths. The multiplicative structure—W_coh × (STG + TBN) × Sea/Topology × J_Path—allows slowly running (z, ν) and channel mixing, explaining the statistics of universal-scaling failure (elevated S_fail, reduced Q_omni and Ξ_consist).
- Blind Spots. Very high frequency/field regimes are limited by measurement-chain ceilings (ξ_RL) and heating; uncertainties in n_eff/m^* and anisotropy propagate to z_eff, ν_eff.
- Engineering Guidance. Use strain/dislocation engineering to optimize G_env and channel connectivity (suppress φ_mix, κ_cross), increase θ_Coh, and reduce ξ_RL. For materials discovery, prioritize maximizing Q_omni and Ξ_consist to mitigate failure risk.
