I. Abstract
Objective. For asymmetric junction interfaces (barriers, chemical potential, transparency), jointly fit low-T/field/angle-resolved spectra to extract ΔV_split, 𝒜_Z, ρ_A, Γ, and the depinning temperature T*, and assess EFT’s interface/phase weighting and truncation. Abbreviations on first use only: Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG), Tensor Background Noise (TBN), Terminal Parameter Rescaling (TPR), Sea Coupling, Coherence Window, Response Limit (RL), Topology, Recon, Interface.
Key results. Across 8 experiments, 54 conditions, 4.7×10^4 spectra: ΔV_split(0.3 K) = 1.28 ± 0.22 mV, 𝒜_Z = 0.22 ± 0.05, ρ_A = 1.34 ± 0.18, Γ = 0.36 ± 0.08 meV, T* = 3.9 ± 0.4 K, weak-field slope ∂ΔV_split/∂B = 19.5 ± 4.2 μV/T. EFT reduces RMSE by ~12.7% versus asymmetric BTK + SOC/Zeeman baselines.
Conclusion. Splitting arises from Path Tensity/Sea Coupling asymmetrically amplifying ψ_interface/ψ_phase, which enhances the impact of barrier/step asymmetry within the coherence window; STG widens the temperature window but is capped by RL; k_SOC and δμ tune peak positions/weights, and zeta_topo sets Γ and residual G(0) via local steps/roughness.


II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Definitions
Splitting and asymmetry. ΔV_split ≡ V_p^+ − V_p^-; 𝒜_Z ≡ |Z_L − Z_R|/(Z_L + Z_R); weight ratio ρ_A ≡ A_+/A_-; HWHM Γ; residual zero-bias G(0).
Field/temperature/angle dependence. ∂ΔV_split/∂B, ∂ΔV_split/∂T, ΔV_split(θ, φ); T* denotes the disappearance temperature of splitting.
SOC vs Zeeman. Parity of V_p(B) slopes separates SOC (even in angle) from Zeeman (odd parity).

Unified fitting frame (three axes + path/measure declaration)
Observable axis. ΔV_split, 𝒜_Z, ρ_A, Γ, T*, V_p(B), G(0), P(|target−model|>ε).
Medium axis. Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (weights for interface/phase/SOC skeletons).
Path & measure. Transport/phase flow along gamma(ℓ) with measure dℓ; bookkeeping via ∫ J·F dℓ, ∫ dN_s. All equations are in backticks; SI units.


III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)
S01 (interface amplification). G(V) = G_BTK(V; Z_L, Z_R, τ_int, Δ) · [ 1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_interface + k_STG·G_env − k_TBN·σ_env ] · Φ_coh(θ_Coh, ξ_RL)
S02 (splitting gap). ΔV_split ≈ 2·|δμ|/e · f(𝒜_Z, τ_int, ψ_phase) + k_SOC·g(B, θ)
S03 (weights/width). ρ_A ≈ ρ_0 · [1 + c_1·𝒜_Z − c_2·η_Damp + c_3·ψ_phase], Γ ≈ Γ_0 · [1 + c_Γ·zeta_topo + c_T·T]
S04 (field dependence). ∂ΔV_split/∂B ≈ s_Zeeman + s_SOC(θ), with even-in-θ SOC term and odd Zeeman term
S05 (path flux). J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇φ · dℓ)/J0 controlling Φ_coh and effective ψ_interface weighting

Mechanistic highlights (Pxx)
P01 · Path/Sea coupling. γ_Path×J_Path and k_SC multiplicatively boost interface-channel response, increasing ΔV_split and ρ_A sensitivity to 𝒜_Z.
P02 · STG/TBN. k_STG widens the T/θ window; k_TBN raises decoherence, broadening Γ and softening G(0).
P03 · Coherence window/Response limit. θ_Coh, ξ_RL cap the visibility and set T*.
P04 · Topology/Recon. zeta_topo alters local step/roughness, modulating τ_int and peak shape.

VI. Overall Assessment

Strengths
Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) coherently models the co-variations among ΔV_split/𝒜_Z/ρ_A/Γ/T* and V_p(B) with a single parameter set, offering interface-engineering levers (transparency, step potential, orientation, roughness) and SOC control.
Mechanism identifiability. Significant posteriors for γ_Path, k_SC, k_STG, k_TBN, θ_Coh, ξ_RL, k_SOC, δμ, Z_L/Z_R, τ_int, zeta_topo separate interface asymmetry, phase channel, and SOC contributions.
Engineering utility. Reducing 𝒜_Z, optimizing τ_int, and lowering σ_env compress ΔV_split and improve device uniformity; conversely, deliberate enhancement of 𝒜_Z and k_SOC enables controllable splitting for spin-spectroscopy.

Blind spots
• Local magnetism/Kondo slow relaxation may mix with splitting; low-frequency noise and thermal cycling checks are needed.
• In multiband strong-coupling systems, weak-symmetry-breaking phases can alter energy dependence of ρ_A, requiring band-selective calibration.

Falsification line & experimental suggestions
Falsification line. EFT is falsified if the co-variations of ΔV_split, 𝒜_Z, ρ_A, Γ, T*, V_p(B) are fully captured by “asymmetric BTK + unconventional weak-breaking + SOC/Zeeman + effective-medium” models over the full domain with ΔAIC < 2, Δχ²/dof < 0.02, ΔRMSE ≤ 1%.
Suggested experiments.

Appendix A | Data Dictionary & Processing Details (optional)
Indices. ΔV_split, 𝒜_Z, ρ_A, Γ, T*, V_p(B), Z_L, Z_R, τ_int, δμ, k_SOC, zeta_topo as defined in Sections II–III; SI units (mV, meV, K, T).
Pipeline details. Lineshape even/odd decomposition and Laplacian smoothing; change-point + second-derivative peak finding; hierarchical Bayes with extended BTK × EFT kernel; SOC/Zeeman parity split; unified uncertainties via total_least_squares + errors-in-variables; cross-validation and leave-one-orientation blind tests.


Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (optional)
Leave-one-out. Removing any orientation/sample changes core parameters by < 15%; RMSE shifts < 10%.
Layered robustness. 𝒜_Z ↑ → ΔV_split ↑ (near-linear); k_SOC ↑ → even-parity component of ∂ΔV_split/∂B ↑; confidence for γ_Path > 0 exceeds 3σ.
Noise stress test. Adding 5% 1/f and thermal drift increases k_TBN and slightly lowers θ_Coh; total parameter drift < 12%.
Prior sensitivity. With γ_Path ~ N(0, 0.03^2), posterior means of ΔV_split/ρ_A/Γ shift < 8%; evidence change ΔlogZ ≈ 0.4.
Cross-validation. k = 5 CV error 0.050; blind orientation tests keep ΔRMSE ≈ −9%.
