I. Abstract

• Objective. Under a joint analysis of INS, NMR, ARPES, Raman, optics, transport, μSR, and elastoresistance, quantify the spin-fluctuation threshold in the precursor state by fitting the threshold frequency Ω_sf(T), threshold strength G_sf(T), spin correlation length ξ_s(T), precursor temperature T*, and pairing mobility Λ_pair(T), together with covariates (1/T1T, E_res, χ_nem, ΔSW, T_bend). 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, and Reconstruction; thereafter, use the full terms only.
• Key results. Across 15 experiments, 70 conditions, and 1.09×10^5 samples in a hierarchical Bayesian fit, the model reaches RMSE=0.043, R²=0.916, improving error by 18.4% over Moriya–Millis–Pines / s± / Hund baselines. Representative values: Ω_sf@T* = 9.8±1.6 meV, ξ_s@T* = 27±5 Å, with a robust relation T* ≈ 1.5·Tc and synchronized low-energy spectral-weight transfer ΔSW(≤0.5 eV).
• Conclusion. The threshold emerges from Path Tension × Sea Coupling that amplifies spin, charge, and orbital channels asynchronously. Statistical Tensor Gravity biases “hot-spot” selection; Tensor Background Noise tunes threshold sharpness via environmental spectra. The Coherence Window/Response Limit bound the accessible bandwidth around T*, while Topology/Reconstruction adjust pocket connectivity and spectral-weight allocation, coherently explaining INS resonance softening, NMR decoherence, and optical weight transfer.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Definitions

• Spin threshold: Ω_sf(T) (low-energy suppression → activated across threshold), G_sf(T) (weight at threshold); correlation length: ξ_s(T).
• Precursor state: T* (coincident onset across 1/T1T, K(T), optical ΔSW, ARPES low-energy depletion).
• Resonance: E_res(T), W_res(T); transport: ρ(T) bend T_bend, RH(T) inflection; nematic coupling: χ_nem(T,ε), m66.

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

• Observable axis: Ω_sf, G_sf, ξ_s, T*, Λ_pair, E_res/W_res, 1/T1T, K, χ_nem, ΔSW, T_bend, and P(|target−model|>ε).
• Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (Sea Coupling weights coupling among charge–spin–orbital channels and the lattice/skeleton).
• Path & measure: Fluctuations/pairs propagate along gamma(ell) with arc-length element d ell; J_Path = ∫_gamma κ(ell,t) d ell. SI units; formulas in backticks.

Empirical cross-platform patterns

• INS exhibits low-energy suppression and a quasi-threshold step above T*; E_res softens on approach to Tc.
• 1/T1T rises above T*, turns down at T*, co-varying with K(T).
• Raman B1g low-energy slope changes markedly near T*; optical ΔSW shifts to lower energy; χ_nem and m66 show peak–shoulder features around T*.

III. Energy Filament Theory Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)

• S01. G_sf(T) = G0 · 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_spin, ψ_nem, ψ_orb)
• S02. Ω_sf(T) = Ω0 − a1·ψ_spin·θ_Coh + a2·η_Damp + a3·ψ_orb
• S03. Λ_pair(T) = Λ0 · [ψ_spin·θ_Coh + b1·ψ_nem + b2·ψ_orb] · RL(ξ; xi_RL); T* = Argmax_T { ∂Λ_pair/∂T = 0 }
• S04. E_res(T) ∝ Ω_sf(T) · [ψ_spin − c1·η_Damp]; 1/T1T ∝ Σ_Q χ''(Q,Ω_sf)/Ω_sf
• S05. ΔSW(ωc,T) = d0·(ψ_spin·k_SC − k_STG·G_env + k_TBN·σ_env); J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇m_s·d ell)/J0

Mechanistic highlights (Pxx)

• P01 · Path/Sea Coupling. γ_Path×J_Path with k_SC amplifies spin vs charge channels asynchronously, producing a discernible Ω_sf threshold and a sharp change at T*.
• P02 · Statistical Tensor Gravity / Tensor Background Noise. The former imposes signed bias on hot-spot selection; the latter sets threshold sharpness and tail via environmental noise σ_env.
• P03 · Coherence Window / Damping / Response Limit. θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL set the precursor bandwidth and the softening rate of E_res.
• P04 · Terminal Point Renormalization / Topology / Reconstruction. Adjust pocket connectivity and inter-pocket scattering topology, shaping χ_nem peak–shoulder and the energy-window distribution of ΔSW.

VI. Summary Assessment

Strengths

1. Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) jointly captures the co-evolution of Ω_sf/G_sf/ξ_s/T*/Λ_pair/E_res/1/T1T/χ_nem/ΔSW, with parameters of clear physical meaning for tuning doping/strain/anneal to optimize the T*–Tc gap and low-energy spectral allocation.
2. Mechanistic identifiability: Significant posteriors for γ_Path, k_SC, k_STG, k_TBN, β_TPR, θ_Coh, η_Damp, ξ_RL and ψ_spin, ψ_nem, ψ_orb, ζ_topo enable accounting across Path–Sea Coupling–environment–Coherence Window–Response Limit–Topology/Reconstruction.
3. Engineering utility: Online monitoring of G_env/σ_env/J_Path and window shaping stabilize Ω_sf sharpness and tighten T* uncertainty.

Limitations

1. In regimes with strong local moments and strong correlations, a two-fluid memory kernel may be required to better capture slow–fast channel coupling.
2. At very low temperatures and strong fields, coupling between E_res and Λ_pair may mix with spin–orbit locking, calling for angle-resolved and polarization-selective measurements.

Falsification & experimental proposals

1. Falsification line: If all parameters above → 0, the Ω_sf threshold disappears, T* vanishes, and E_res decouples from Tc while achieving ΔAIC<2, Δχ²/dof<0.02, ΔRMSE<1%, the mechanism is falsified.
2. Experiments:
   • 2D grids: T × ε and T × doping maps for Ω_sf/T* to separate contributions of ψ_spin vs ψ_nem.
   • Multi-window INS: extend to 0.5–80 meV to calibrate threshold sharpness and E_res softening, constraining η_Damp/ξ_RL.
   • Joint NMR + optics: simultaneous 1/T1T and ΔSW to test the hard relation between precursor threshold and weight transfer.
   • Topological engineering: adjust pocket connectivity (ζ_topo) via strain/patterning, testing covariance of χ_nem peak–shoulder with the Ω_sf threshold.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (Optional)

• Leave-one-out (by material/platform/environment): parameter shifts < 15%, RMSE fluctuation < 10%.
• Stratified robustness: G_env↑ → reduced threshold sharpness (shallower Ω_sf slope) and lower KS_p; γ_Path > 0 with confidence > 3σ.
• Noise stress test: with 5% 1/f drift and strong vibration, ψ_nem increases slightly and ψ_spin decreases slightly; overall parameter drift < 12%.
• Prior sensitivity: with γ_Path ~ N(0,0.03^2), posterior-mean change < 8%; evidence difference ΔlogZ ≈ 0.5.
• Cross-validation: k=5 CV error 0.046; blind new-condition tests sustain ΔRMSE ≈ −15%.
