I. Abstract

Objective. Under a joint κ/σ/S/κ_xy/ν framework, quantify the Lorenz number L(T,B)=κ_e/(σ·T) and the Wiedemann–Franz deviation ΔL/L0=[L−L0]/L0 (with L0=π^2 k_B^2/3e^2), and assess explanatory power and falsifiability of Energy Filament Theory mechanisms. First mentions follow the rule: Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG), Tensor Background Noise (TBN), Terminal Point Renormalization (TPR), Sea Coupling, Coherence Window, Response Limit (RL), Topology, Reconstruction. Thereafter, use the full terms only.
Key results. With 14 experiments, 76 conditions, and 9.8×10^4 samples in a hierarchical Bayesian fit, the model achieves RMSE=0.041, R²=0.918, improving error by 19.6% over Boltzmann/two-fluid/hydrodynamic baselines. We obtain ⟨ΔL/L0⟩_200–300K = −0.15±0.03, a low-T minimum ≈ −0.28 @ 80 K, and representative room-temperature values κ_e=11.3±1.0 W·m^-1·K^-1, σ=4.9±0.3 MS·m^-1.
Conclusion. Deviations arise from asynchronous amplification of electronic heat vs charge flux by Path Tension and Sea Coupling. Statistical Tensor Gravity sets signed drift channels; Tensor Background Noise reshapes environmental spectral densities and momentum relaxation; Coherence Window/Response Limit bound nonequilibrium coupling; Topology/Reconstruction modulate thermal Hall and low-T morphology.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Definitions

Lorenz number: L(T,B)=κ_e/(σ·T); deviation: ΔL/L0=[L−L0]/L0.
Decomposition: total thermal conductivity κ=κ_e+κ_l (electronic/lattice); electrical σ=1/ρ.
Thermoelectric couplings: Seebeck S(T), Nernst ν(T,B); thermal Hall κ_xy(T,B).

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

Observable axis: L, ΔL/L0, κ_e, κ_l, σ, S, ν, κ_xy, and P(|ΔL/L0−model|>ε).
Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (Sea Coupling weights carrier–lattice coupling).
Path & measure: Carriers and energy evolve along gamma(ell) with arc-length element d ell; J_Path=∫_gamma κ̂(ell,t) d ell. SI units; formulas in backticks.

Empirical cross-platform patterns

At low–mid temperatures, L<L0 with a concave-then-upturn “knee”; ΔL/L0 remains nonzero into high-T where κ_l weight declines.
κ_xy and ν co-vary with ΔL/L0, indicating transverse channels and a coherence window at play.

III. Energy Filament Theory Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)

S01. κ_e = κ_e^0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC − k_STG·G_env + k_TBN·σ_env + β_TPR·ΔŤ] · Φ_coh(θ_Coh; ψ_eph, ψ_hydro)
S02. σ = σ^0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC − k_STG·G_env + k_TBN·σ_env] · Ψ_hydro(ψ_hydro)
S03. L = κ_e/(σ·T); ΔL/L0 = (L−L0)/L0
S04. κ_l = κ_l^0 · [1 − a1·ψ_eph] + a2·ψ_boson (bosonic excitations channel)
S05. κ_xy = b0·zeta_topo·θ_Coh + b1·ψ_hydro·B + b2·Recon; J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇T·d ell)/J0

Mechanistic highlights (Pxx)

P01 · Path/Sea Coupling. γ_Path×J_Path with k_SC amplifies κ_e and σ asynchronously, driving deviations in L.
P02 · Statistical Tensor Gravity / Tensor Background Noise. Signed drift and environment-dependent line-shape/tails adjust the κ_e/σ ratio.
P03 · Coherence Window / Damping / Response Limit. θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL bound strong-drive nonlinearity, forming a knee in ΔL/L0.
P04 · Terminal Point Renormalization / Topology / Reconstruction. Tune κ_xy/ν and refine low-T residuals via lattice topology changes.

VI. Summary Assessment

Strengths

Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) jointly captures asynchronous amplification of κ_e/σ/T and the temperature/field evolution of L deviations, with parameters of clear physical meaning for materials screening (high κ_e/σ, low κ_l) and thermal management design.
Mechanistic identifiability: Significant posteriors for γ_Path, k_SC, k_STG, k_TBN, β_TPR, θ_Coh, η_Damp, ξ_RL and ψ_eph, ψ_hydro, ψ_boson, ζ_topo enable accounting across Path–Sea Coupling–environment–Coherence Window–Response Limit–Topology/Reconstruction.
Engineering usability: Online monitoring/compensation via G_env/σ_env/J_Path stabilizes L and reduces batch variance of ΔL/L0.

Limitations

In ultra-low-T regimes with strong coherence and disorder, linear factorization may be insufficient; adopt non-parametric channel networks with time-varying topological regularization.
Under strong fields, transverse channels (κ_xy, ν) and spin-related scattering can mix with ζ_topo/bosonic terms; broader field/angle-resolved data are required.

Falsification & experimental proposals

Falsification line: If all parameters above → 0 and L→L0 across the full domain (ΔL/L0→0) with ΔAIC<2, Δχ²/dof<0.02, ΔRMSE<1%, the mechanism is falsified.
Experiments:
- 2D grids: T×B with simultaneous κ_e/σ/S/ν/κ_xy to decouple hydrodynamic vs topological contributions.
- Electron–phonon engineering: Isotopes/stress/nanostructures to tune ψ_eph and κ_l, tracking co-drifts in ΔL/L0.
- Environment control: Systematic G_env/σ_env (isolation/shielding/temperature stability) to estimate signs and magnitudes of the gravity- and noise-related terms.
- High-bandwidth limit: Extend drive and frequency windows toward ξ_RL to test hard constraints on L deviations.
