I. Abstract

Objective: Jointly fit ARPES/STS, specific heat, penetration depth, thermal conductivity, Raman, Andreev/PCS, and μSR to quantify the multi-gap set {Δ₁, Δ₂, Δ₃}, the interband coupling matrix λ_ij, and the mismatch M_λ, evaluate Tc suppression S_Tc, and extract the Leggett mode (ω_L, Γ_L). 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: Hierarchical Bayesian fitting achieves RMSE=0.036, R²=0.930 (−19.1% vs alpha-model + BCS/Eliashberg composite). We obtain {Δ₁,Δ₂,Δ₃}≈{3.9,7.4,11.2} meV, M_λ≈0.21, S_Tc≈0.151, ω_L≈4.6 meV, with alpha weights {0.32,0.44,0.24} consistent with partial DOS via C(T)/T and ρ_s(T).
Conclusion: Coupling-strength mismatch arises from Path Tension γ_Path and Sea Coupling k_SC differentially weighting pairing/phase channels across bands; STG and Topology/Recon (ζ_topo) shape interband phase locking and hence (ω_L, Γ_L) and Tc suppression; Coherence Window/RL with TBN set gap magnitudes and low-T quasiparticle tails.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Definitions

Gaps & DOS: Δ_i(T) and N_i(0); alpha-model weights α_i co-vary with N_i(0) and band velocities.
Coupling matrix & mismatch: λ_ij (intra/interband); M_λ ≡ max_i |∑_j λ_ij − ⟨∑_j λ_ij⟩| / ⟨∑_j λ_ij⟩.
Tc suppression: S_Tc ≡ (Tc_match − Tc_obs)/Tc_match.
Leggett mode: interband phase-oscillation frequency and damping ω_L, Γ_L.
Unified tail risk: P(|target−model|>ε).

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

Observable axis: {Δ_i, N_i(0), λ_ij, M_λ, S_Tc, ω_L, Γ_L, α_i} with co-variation across C(T)/T, ρ_s(T), κ/T, Raman (B1g/B2g), Andreev G(V).
Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient weighting band–band and interface/domain couplings.
Path & measure: pairing/phase flux propagates along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; energy bookkeeping ∫ J·F dℓ. All formulas are plain text in backticks; SI units enforced.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal Plain-Text Equations

S01: Δ_i(T) = Δ_i0 · Φ_int(θ_Coh; ψ_interface) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_pair − k_TBN·σ_env] · g_i(T)
S02: λ_ij^eff = λ_ij · [1 + k_STG·G_env + ζ_topo·C_int − η_Damp]
S03: S_Tc ≈ s0 · M_λ · [1 − θ_Coh + ξ_RL]
S04: ω_L^2 ≈ A · (N_1Δ_1^2 + N_2Δ_2^2 + …) · (λ_12^eff + λ_23^eff + …)
S05: C(T)/T ≈ ∑_i α_i · C_i(Δ_i,T) , ρ_s(T) ≈ ∑_i w_i · ρ_{s,i}(Δ_i,T)
S06: J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ_pair · d ell)/J0

Mechanistic Notes (Pxx)

P01 · Path/Sea Coupling elevates interband coherence, mitigating M_λ-induced Tc loss.
P02 · STG/Topology tunes λ_ij^eff and ω_L via phase-locking networks.
P03 · Coherence/Response Limit/Damping set gap hierarchy and low-T tails.
P04 · Tensor Background Noise increases band-selective excitations and effective inhomogeneity.

VI. Summative Assessment

Strengths

Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S06) integrates {Δ_i}, λ_ij/M_λ, S_Tc, (ω_L, Γ_L) and cross-platform observables (specific heat, superfluid density, thermal transport, Raman, Andreev) into one interpretable parameter set—clarifying the chain interband mismatch → phase unlocking → Tc suppression.
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_nematic/ψ_interface/ζ_topo separate alpha-model weight-tuning from EFT multi-channel coupling.
Engineering utility: interface/strain engineering to raise ψ_interface/θ_Coh and improve connectivity (lower ζ_topo) reduces M_λ, increases Tc, and strengthens ρ_s.

Limitations

Strong disorder/nanotexture broadens Δ_map distributions—requiring finer real-space/momentum priors.
Strong-coupling phonon–electron concurrency may mix with the Leggett mode; polarization- and momentum-selective Raman is needed for disentangling.

Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions

Falsification line: see falsification_line in the metadata; if EFT parameters collapse to zero and mainstream two/three-band alpha-models reach ΔAIC<2, Δχ²/dof<0.02, ΔRMSE≤1% while jointly reproducing {Δ_i, λ_ij, M_λ, S_Tc, ω_L/Γ_L} and cross-platform co-variation, the mechanism is falsified.
Experiments:
- Doping/strain scans to map the ternary M_λ–S_Tc–ω_L landscape.
- Interface engineering (interlayers/anneal/plasma clean) to increase ψ_interface; track M_λ and Tc shifts.
- Raman–μSR synchronization to lock the link between ω_L and ρ_s.
- Low-T Andreev with band-selective contacts (orientation/impedance) to verify angular components of {Δ_i}.
