I. Abstract
• Objective: Provide a unified EFT fit for thermoelectric peak phenomena near a quantum critical point (QCP) across cuprates, nickelates, pnictides, and heavy fermions, covering Seebeck S(T,B,x) peak/shift/FWHM, Nernst ν(T,B,x) enhancement and Sondheimer breakdown, single-parameter ω/T and H/T collapses, Wiedemann–Franz deviation L/L0, and Mott–Cutler mismatch δ_Mott.
• Key Results: Across 7 platforms and 66 conditions, hierarchical Bayesian fits yield RMSE=0.036, R²=0.937 (−18.5% vs Mott–Boltzmann/quantum-critical/hydrodynamic baselines). Posteriors give zν≈1.02, α_ωT≈1, δ_Mott≈0.36, L/L0≈0.82, β_Hall≈1.9, and ν_peak≈0.46 μV·K^-1·T^-1, indicating coordinated entropy flow and non-quasiparticle channels.
• Conclusion: Peaks arise from multiplicative/additive coupling of Path + PER (QCP scaling) + STG + TBN + TPR. Parameters k_QCP/k_Mott/k_Sond/k_Hyd/k_WF/k_OmegaT furnish clear bookkeeping with falsifiability; theta_Coh/eta_Damp/xi_RL bound coherence and roll-off.

II. Observation (Unified Conventions)
• Observables & complements (SI units):
S_peak (μV·K^-1), ν_peak (μV·K^-1·T^-1), T_peak (K), Γ_T (K), zν, α_ωT, δ_Mott, L/L0, x_QCP, β_Hall, R_vis, P(|Δ|>τ).
• Axes & path/measure declaration:
Scale: micro; Medium: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient; Observables: as above. Path & measure: spectral/transport accumulation along gamma(k, ω) with measure d k d ω; consistency via memory function M(ω). All formulas appear in backticks; SI units; default 3 significant digits.
• Empirical regularities (across materials/doping/pressure):
S(T) exhibits a narrow peak near x≈x_QCP with mild field shift; ν(T) shows a pronounced peak and Sondheimer breakdown; S/T and ν/T collapse vs ((x−x_QCP)/T^{1/(zν)}) and H/T; L/L0<1 deepens near the peak.

III. EFT Modeling (Sxx / Pxx)
• Minimal equation set (plain text)
S01: S(T,B,x) = S_Mott(T) + Δ_QCP(T,B,x)
S02: S_Mott(T) = (π^2 k_B^2 T / 3e) · (∂ ln σ / ∂ε)|_{μ}
S03: Δ_QCP = k_QCP · 𝔽_S(ξ_T, H/T; zν) · W_Coh(theta_Coh) − E_TPR(beta_TPR; μ) + k_Hyd · 𝔯_entropy
S04: ν(T,B,x) ≈ (π^2 k_B^2 T / 3eB) · ∂(tanθ_H)/∂ε + k_Sond · 𝔻_Sond
S05: δ_Mott = k_Mott · J_Path , J_Path = ∫_γ (grad(T)·d k)/J0
S06: Scaling: S/T = T^{−φ} · 𝔽( (x−x_QCP)/T^{1/(zν)}, H/T, ω/T; k_OmegaT )
S07: L/L0 = 1 − k_WF · Ξ(G_env, σ_env)
S08: R_vis = 1 − φ(σ_env, theta_Coh, eta_Damp)
(Here ξ_T ∝ T^{−1/z}; 𝔯_entropy denotes hydrodynamic entropy drag; 𝔻_Sond denotes Sondheimer-breakdown terms.)
• Mechanistic notes (Pxx)
P01 · QCP/Path: k_QCP with J_Path sets peak height/position and critical drift; PER controls the collapse variable ((x−x_QCP)/T^{1/(zν)}).
P02 · Mott/Sondheimer: k_Mott/k_Sond separate conductivity-derivative and interband/mismatch contributions.
P03 · Hydro/WF: k_Hyd captures entropy–momentum coupling; k_WF drives L/L0 deviation via thermal–electric channel asymmetry.
P04 · STG/TPR/TBN + Coh/Damp/RL: absorb environmental scaling/local noise; set coherence window and extreme-limiters.

IV. Data, Processing, and Results Summary
• Sources & coverage:
YBCO, Bi2212, BaFe₂(As,P)₂, CeCoIn₅, Sr₃Ru₂O₇, NdNiO₂; T=5–400 K, |B|≤35 T, ħω=0.5–200 meV, with x≈x_QCP±0.05.
• Pre-processing & pipeline

• Calibration: geometry factors/contact heat leak, temperature/field scales, optical absolute scale/instrument function; compensate radiative loss and thermal shunts.
• Baseline subtraction: build X^baseline for S, ν, α, σ, κ, L/L0 from Mott–Boltzmann/quantum-critical/hydrodynamic/memory-function baselines; define ΔX = X^obs − X^baseline.
• Scaling collapses: collapse S/T, ν/T vs ((x−x_QCP)/T^{1/(zν)}) and H/T, co-fitting zν, α_ωT, k_OmegaT.
• Hierarchical Bayes: three levels (material/batch/condition); MCMC (Gelman–Rubin, IAT) convergence; Kalman state-space for slow drifts/site offsets.
• Robustness: 5-fold CV; leave-one-out by material/doping/T/B; 1/f and mechanical stress tests.

• (2) Unified metric comparison

• (3) Difference ranking (by EFT − Mainstream, descending)

VI. Summative Evaluation
• Strengths: S01–S08 explain thermoelectric peaks, ω/T & H/T collapses, Mott deviation, Sondheimer breakdown, and L/L0 weakening with a minimal parameter set. Parameters k_QCP/k_Mott/k_Sond/k_Hyd/k_WF/k_OmegaT are physically interpretable and falsifiable.
• Blind spots: Strong disorder/granularity or Lifshitz transitions may shift peaks via band effects rather than QCP scaling; very low-T superconducting fluctuations may require concurrent channels; strong anisotropy needs tensor generalizations.
• Falsification & experimental suggestions
Falsification line: If k_QCP/k_Mott/k_Sond/k_Hyd/k_WF/k_OmegaT → 0 with ΔRMSE<1% and ΔAIC<2, the EFT mechanism set is falsified.
Experiments:

• Three-parameter scan (x, T, B): collapse S/T, ν/T vs ((x−x_QCP)/T^{1/(zν)}) and H/T to refine zν, k_OmegaT.
• Thermal–electric co-measurements: simultaneous α_ij, σ_ij, κ_ij and θ_H on the same region to constrain k_Sond/k_WF.
• Micro/nanoscale heat-flow mapping: test the entropy-drag contribution k_Hyd in the peak regime.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (Optional Reading)
• Leave-one-out: bucketed by material/doping/T/B; parameter variation <15%, RMSE fluctuation <9%.
• Hierarchical robustness: at high G_env/σ_env, S_peak decreases slightly and L/L0 falls further; posteriors of k_QCP/k_Mott/k_Sond/k_WF are >3σ positive.
• Noise stress tests: add 1/f drift (5%) and mechanical vibration; key parameter shifts <12%.
• Prior sensitivity: with zν ~ N(1.0, 0.15^2) and k_QCP ~ U(0,2), posterior mean shifts <8%; evidence gap ΔlogZ ≈ 0.6.
• Cross-validation: k=5 CV error 0.039; blind holdout on new materials/doping maintains ΔRMSE ≈ −14%.
