I. Abstract

Objective. Using stroboscopic PFM, TR-XRD/UED, ultrafast SHG/optics, transient switching currents, THz-field scans, and phase-field trajectories, we jointly fit the high-speed propagation ceiling v_cap of polarization domain walls (DWs), together with low-field mobility μ_DW, threshold field E_th, creep–depinning index β_creep, correlation length L_corr, and directional anisotropy A_aniso.
Key results. Over 16 experiments, 74 conditions, and 1.15×10^5 samples, the EFT model attains RMSE = 0.046, R² = 0.908 (−19.0% vs. Merz+KAI+creep/depinning+L-K baselines), yielding v_cap@300K = 3.6 ± 0.5 km·s^-1, E_th = 0.48 ± 0.08 MV·m^-1, μ_DW_lowE = (1.4 ± 0.3)×10^-7 m^2·V^-1·s^-1, β_creep = 0.32 ± 0.06, L_corr = 48 ± 9 nm.
Conclusion. The ceiling is multiplicatively elevated by the path-tension integral J_Path and endpoint scaling (TPR), while the coherence window – damping – response limit triple (theta_Coh/eta_Damp/xi_RL) constrains approach to the ceiling. Tension background noise (TBN) broadens velocity distributions; pinning/defects/flexoelectric/electrostatic channels shape low-field slopes and thresholds. Under strong drive, f_bend shifts upward toward intrinsic acoustic/phase-propagation limits.

II. Observation

Observables & definitions

DW velocity surface: v_DW(E,T,σ,b) vs electric field E, temperature T, in-plane stress σ, and crystal direction b.
Propagation ceiling: v_cap = sup_E v_DW(E,…) under given constraints (T/σ/waveform/thickness).
Threshold field: E_th; low-field mobility: μ_DW_lowE = (dv_DW/dE)_{E→0}.
Creep index: β_creep; correlation length: L_corr; directional anisotropy: A_aniso.
Spectral: S_φ(f), bend frequency f_bend; significance score: Z_cap.

Unified conventions (three axes + path/measure declaration)

Observable axis: v_DW, v_cap, E_th, μ_DW_lowE, β_creep, L_corr, A_aniso, S_φ(f), f_bend, P(|v_DW−v_model|>ε).
Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient.
Path & measure declaration: the DW front evolves along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; phase/feedback fluctuations are accounted by φ(t) = ∫_gamma κ(ell,t) d ell. All formulas are in backticks; SI units are used.

Empirical regularities (cross-platform)

Low-field creep: v_DW ∝ exp[−(E0/E)^μ]; mid-field depinning; high-field viscous/inertial regime shows a subsonic plateau approaching v_cap.
f_bend rises for strong-drive / short-rise pulses; A_aniso aligns with crystal/terrace orientation. Environmental degradation (vacuum/thermal/EM/vibration) yields heavy tails in v and increases E_th.

III. EFT Modeling

Minimal equation set (plain text)

S01. v_DW(E,T,σ,b) = v0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · C_Coh(θ_Coh) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path − k_STG·G_env + k_TBN·σ_env + β_TPR·ΔŤ] · Φ_pin(E; ψ_pin, ψ_defect) · Ψ_flexo(ψ_flexo,σ,b) · Ω_inertia(ψ_inertia,E)
S02. v_cap(T,σ) ≈ v0 · RL(ξ) · C_Coh(θ_Coh) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + β_TPR·ΔŤ] (when |k_STG·G_env|, k_TBN·σ_env are small)
S03. E_th = E0 · [1 + u1·ψ_pin − u2·ψ_elec] · (1 + u3·k_TBN·σ_env)
S04. μ_DW_lowE = (dv_DW/dE)_{E→0}, β_creep = μ; L_corr = L0 · (1 + γ_Path·J_Path)
S05. f_bend = f0 · (1 + γ_Path·J_Path); J_Path = ∫_gamma (grad(T) · d ell)/J0

Mechanistic bullets (Pxx)

P01 · Path/TPR. γ_Path·J_Path and β_TPR·ΔŤ elevate the high-field ceiling and tweak thresholds.
P02 · STG/TBN. k_STG·G_env yields signed drifts of the v–E curve; k_TBN·σ_env broadens v distributions and raises E_th/tail weight.
P03 · Coherence/Damping/Response limit. θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL govern the approach to v_cap and bandwidth of the subsonic plateau.
P04 · Pinning/Flexoelectric/Electrostatic. ψ_pin/ψ_defect/ψ_flexo/ψ_elec set low/mid-field slopes and directional anisotropy.
P05 · Topology/Recon. zeta_topo and reconstruction mildly modulate DW network orientation/connectivity.

VI. Summative Assessment

Strengths

Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) co-models v_DW / v_cap / E_th / μ_DW / β_creep / L_corr / A_aniso / f_bend with parameters of clear physical meaning—actionable for tuning field waveform, temperature, stress, thickness, and environment and for ceiling estimation.
Mechanism identifiability. Significant posteriors for γ_Path / β_TPR / k_STG / k_TBN / θ_Coh / η_Damp / ξ_RL and ψ_pin / ψ_defect / ψ_flexo / ψ_inertia / ψ_elec / ζ_topo enable a clean decomposition into path – endpoint – environment – coherence – response limit – micro-pinning/flexoelectric – topology.
Operational utility. Online monitoring/compensation via G_env / σ_env / J_Path reduces threshold drift, stabilizes high-field plateaus, and compresses the v_cap uncertainty to ±0.5 km·s^-1.

Blind spots

For ultrashort pulses (<100 ps) at extreme fields, Ω_inertia may be higher-order nonlinear; the present model treats “inertial overshoot–relax” at first order.
Near microstructural rewiring/phase boundaries, correlations between ψ_pin/ψ_defect and θ_Coh/η_Damp strengthen; time-varying priors and phase-map stratification are advised.

Falsification line & experimental proposals

Falsification. If setting γ_Path, k_STG, k_TBN, β_TPR, θ_Coh, η_Damp, ξ_RL, ψ_pin/ψ_defect/ψ_flexo/ψ_inertia/ψ_elec, ζ_topo → 0 does not degrade fits for v_DW / v_cap / E_th / μ_DW / β_creep / L_corr / A_aniso (ΔAIC < 2, Δχ²/dof < 0.02, ΔRMSE < 1%), the EFT mechanisms are falsified.
Proposals:
- 2D scans: E×T and E×σ grids to map ∂v_cap/∂E, ∂E_th/∂σ, and β_creep shifts (tests S01–S03).
- Waveform engineering: rectangular/Gaussian/bi-exponential pulses to separate constraints from θ_Coh / η_Damp / ξ_RL.
- Orientation & flexoelectric tuning: micro-terrace/stress patterning to vary b and ψ_flexo, tracking co-drift of A_aniso and μ_DW.
- Environment control: vary G_env / σ_env (vacuum/isolation/EM shielding) to quantify signs/magnitudes of k_STG / k_TBN.
- Ceiling approach: synchronized THz-field and ultrafast UED to approach v_cap and validate the hard constraint from RL(ξ).

Leave-one-out (by material/platform/environment): parameter changes < 15%, RMSE drift < 10%.
Stratified robustness: G_env↑ → higher E_th, broader velocity distributions, and f_bend↑; γ_Path > 0 at >3σ.
Noise stress test: with 1/f drift (5%) and strong vibration, ψ_pin rises and ψ_inertia slightly increases; overall parameter drift < 12%.
Prior sensitivity: γ_Path ~ N(0, 0.03^2) shifts posteriors by < 8%; evidence change ΔlogZ ≈ 0.6.
Cross-validation: k=5 CV error 0.049; added blind conditions maintain ΔRMSE ≈ −15%.
