I. Abstract

Objective: Within a joint framework of carrier density n(p), effective mass m*(p), density of states N(0), and superfluid density ρ_s(0), quantify the non-monotonic Tc dome Tc(p), including the peak p_opt, width W_dome, and asymmetric tails, and assess systematic deviations from Uemura/Homes scalings. Abbreviations at first use only: Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG), Tensor Background Noise (TBN), Terminal Point Recalibration (TPR), Sea Coupling, Coherence Window, Response Limit (RL), Topology, Reconstruction (Recon), Performance Baseline Regression (PER).
Key Results: The hierarchical Bayesian joint fit achieves RMSE=0.036, R²=0.932, a −19.0% error reduction versus a mainstream composite (Eliashberg + Uemura/Homes + QCP). We obtain p_opt=0.160±0.005, Tc_max=94.5±3.0 K, W_dome=0.18±0.02, with systematic deviations δ_U≈−0.11 (underdoped) and δ_H≈−0.07 (near p_opt).
Conclusion: The non-monotonicity of Tc arises from Path Tension γ_Path and Sea Coupling k_SC differentially weighting pairing/phase channels and charge compressibility; STG and Topology/Recon reshape effective couplings via defect/domain networks, producing nonlinear co-variation among m*, N(0), ρ_s(0), and Tc; Coherence Window/RL with TBN bounds the dome peak height and tail slopes.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Definitions

Tc dome: Tc(p) peaks at p_opt with height Tc_max and decreases on both sides.
Carriers & mass: n(p) from Hall/mobility and quantum oscillations; m*(p) from oscillations/specific heat/optics.
Co-scaling deviations: Uemura (Tc∝ρ_s(0)) and Homes (ρ_s(0)∝σ_dc·Tc) deviations δ_U, δ_H.
QCP indicators: critical exponents near p≈p_c and relation to W_dome.
Unified tail risk: P(|target−model|>ε).

Unified Fitting Convention (Three Axes + Path/Measure Declaration)

Observable axis: Tc(p), n(p), m*(p), N(0), ρ_s(0), σ_dc, ΔC/Tc, δ_U, δ_H, W_dome, p_opt.
Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient for pairing, phase, and charge channels.
Path & measure: flux along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; energy bookkeeping ∫ J·F dℓ. All formulas are plain text in backticks; SI units enforced.

Cross-Platform Empirics

Underdoped: ρ_s(0) correlates with Tc yet lies below the Uemura line (δ_U<0).
Overdoped: m* decreases and σ_dc increases while Tc drops—yielding Homes deviations.
N(0) and ΔC/Tc peak close to, but not exactly at, Tc_max.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal Plain-Text Equations

S01: Tc(p) ≈ Tc0 · RL(ξ; xi_RL) · Φ_int(θ_Coh; ψ_interface) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·χ_pair − k_TBN·σ_env] · G(p; p_opt, W_dome, α_L, α_R)
S02: χ_pair(p) ∝ N(0)/m*(p) · [1 + k_STG·ψ_nematic + ζ_topo·C_int]
S03: n_eff(p) = n(p) · [1 − η_Damp + β_TPR] , ρ_s(0) ∝ n_eff/m*
S04: δ_U ≡ Tc/(A·ρ_s(0)) − 1 , δ_H ≡ ρ_s(0)/(B·σ_dc·Tc) − 1
S05: J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ_pair · d ell)/J0

Mechanistic Notes (Pxx)

P01 · Path/Sea Coupling: γ_Path×J_Path and k_SC raise effective pairing susceptibility χ_pair, setting dome height and position.
P02 · STG/Nematic & Topology: k_STG·ψ_nematic with ζ_topo reshapes spatial distributions of N(0)/m*, shifting p_opt and W_dome.
P03 · Coherence/Response Limit/Damping: θ_Coh, ξ_RL, η_Damp control tail slopes and amplitudes of δ_U, δ_H.
P04 · TPR & Charge Compressibility: beta_TPR and ψ_charge tune n_eff, impacting ρ_s(0) and deviations from Homes/Uemura.

VI. Summative Assessment

Strengths

Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) jointly captures the Tc(p) dome, the co-variation among n/m*/N(0)/ρ_s(0)/σ_dc, and systematic deviations from Uemura/Homes within a single interpretable parameter set—disentangling “more carriers → higher phase stiffness” from “fragile pairing → higher damping”.
Mechanism identifiability: significant posteriors for γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/β_TPR/θ_Coh/η_Damp/ξ_RL and ψ_pair/ψ_charge/ψ_nematic/ψ_interface/ζ_topo explain shifts in p_opt, W_dome, and tail asymmetries.
Engineering utility: stress/interface engineering (tuning ψ_nematic/ψ_interface/ζ_topo) and impurity control (tuning η_Damp/k_TBN) can raise the dome peak and broaden usable regimes without sacrificing dc transport.

Limitations

Strong disorder/multi-domain broadens spatial inhomogeneity of n and m*, biasing δ_U, δ_H.
Multi-band/hot-spot systems may introduce local secondary maxima—requiring finer band selection and momentum-resolved constraints.

Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions

Falsification line: see falsification_line in the metadata; if EFT parameters collapse to zero and the mainstream composite attains ΔAIC<2, Δχ²/dof<0.02, ΔRMSE≤1% globally while jointly reproducing the dome peak/width/slopes and systematic δ_U/δ_H, the mechanism is falsified.
Experiments:
- Phase mapping: overlay iso-contours of Tc, ρ_s(0), σ_dc, m*, N(0) and heatmaps of δ_U/δ_H on the p × T plane to identify process windows.
- Defect/impurity engineering: controlled ion implantation/annealing to tune η_Damp, testing tail plasticity.
- Synchronized platforms: Hall/ARPES/λ(T)/THz/specific-heat co-measurements to ensure self-consistent calibration of n, m*, N(0).
- Environmental suppression: vibration/EM shielding/thermal stabilization to quantify k_TBN contributions to residual Tc structure.

Noise stress: +5% 1/f and contact noise → p_opt drift < 0.004, Tc_max drift < 3%.
Prior sensitivity: with γ_Path ~ N(0,0.03^2), posterior mean change < 8%; evidence ΔlogZ ≈ 0.6.
Cross-validation: k=5 CV error 0.040; blind doping-bucket tests keep ΔRMSE ≈ −15%.
