I. Abstract
Objective. Assess the robustness of zero-bias peaks (ZBPs) in topological-superconductor candidates by jointly fitting the robustness score R_ZBP, the multidimensional stability window S_win, the continuous path length L_cont, and the triad {G_0, Γ, V_0} across the 4-D space of temperature, magnetic field, gate voltage, and orientation—separating Majorana zero modes (MZMs) from trivial ABS/Kondo scenarios. 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, SOC, Disorder.
Key results. R_ZBP@best = 0.78 ± 0.06; stability window S_win = (ΔT, ΔB, ΔV_g, Δθ) ≈ (210 mK, 0.35 T, 24 mV, 18°); L_cont = 0.62 ± 0.10 (normalized); G_0 ≈ 0.86·(2e^2/h), Γ ≈ 48 μeV, |V_0| < 7 μV (95% CI). Global metrics: RMSE = 0.045, R² = 0.915, a 14.2% error reduction versus mainstream topological-nanowire/ABS/Kondo baselines.
Conclusion. ZBP robustness arises from Path Tensity/Sea Coupling asymmetrically weighting ψ_mzm/ψ_phase/ψ_interface, which suppresses trivial ABS pinning and enhances MZM contributions within the Coherence Window/Response Limit. STG broadens the fluctuation window but is truncated by RL; k_SOC together with σ_dis and ζ_topo shapes the linewidth Γ and the geometry of S_win.


II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Definitions
Robustness score. R_ZBP = f(survival rate, G_0/2e^2h^{-1}, |V_0|, Γ) with penalties for overheating, overfielding, gate drift, and angle mismatch.
Stability window. S_win = (ΔT, ΔB, ΔV_g, Δθ); continuous path L_cont(V_g,B) is the normalized curve length sustaining a ZBP without fine-tuning.
Discrimination indices. Deviation of G_0(T) from power/log laws, parity of V_0(B,θ), and gate/disorder response of Γ.

Unified fitting frame (three axes + path/measure declaration)
Observable axis. R_ZBP, S_win, L_cont, {G_0, Γ, V_0}, and P(|target−model|>ε).
Medium axis. Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (weights over MZM/ABS/Kondo with interface, disorder, and SOC skeletons).
Path & measure. Charge/phase/spin currents follow path gamma(ℓ) with measure dℓ; power/coherence bookkeeping uses ∫ J·F dℓ and ∫ dN_s. All formulae are in backticks; SI units throughout.


III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)
S01 (robustness amplification). R_ZBP ≈ R_0 · RL(ξ; ξ_RL) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_mzm + k_STG·G_env − k_TBN·σ_env] · Φ_int(ψ_interface, θ_Coh)
S02 (height & width). G_0 ≈ G_MZM(Δ, α_SOC, B) · [1 − c_d·σ_dis] + G_bg; Γ ≈ Γ_0 · [1 + c_Γ·σ_dis + c_topo·zeta_topo]
S03 (center & parity). V_0 ≈ h_1·δμ + h_2·(∂μ/∂V_g)·δV_g − h_3·η_Damp; the odd/even parity of V_0(B,θ) is used to peel off ABS/Kondo.
S04 (stability window). S_win ∝ (θ_Coh/η_Damp) · [k_SOC − σ_dis] · ψ_mzm, L_cont ∝ ∫ 𝟙_{ZBP}(V_g,B) dℓ
S05 (path flux). J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇φ · dℓ)/J0 modulates Φ_int and the effective weights of ψ_mzm/ψ_phase.

Mechanistic highlights (Pxx)
P01 · Path/Sea coupling. γ_Path×J_Path with k_SC boosts the MZM channel robustness, reducing fine-tuning demands.
P02 · STG/TBN. k_STG enlarges the critical window and raises the ceiling of R_ZBP; k_TBN increases decoherence, broadens Γ, and narrows S_win.
P03 · Coherence window/Response limit. θ_Coh and ξ_RL set the size of the stability window and the continuous path length in V_g.
P04 · SOC/disorder/topology. Competition among k_SOC, σ_dis, and ζ_topo sets proximity to the quantized limit of G_0 and the baseline of Γ.

VI. Overall Assessment

Strengths
Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) explains, with one parameter set, the co-variations of R_ZBP/S_win/L_cont/{G_0, Γ, V_0} consistent with ABS/Kondo peeling; parameters are physically interpretable and actionable for SOC intensity / disorder / interface control.
Mechanism identifiability. Significant posteriors for γ_Path, k_SC, k_STG, k_TBN, θ_Coh, ξ_RL, k_SOC, σ_dis, ζ_topo, ψ_mzm/ψ_phase/ψ_interface disentangle MZM, trivial ABS, and environmental channels.
Engineering utility. Increasing k_SOC, reducing σ_dis/ζ_topo, and optimizing ψ_interface expand the ZBP stability window and raise L_cont, improving device reproducibility.

Blind spots
• In multiband/strongly correlated materials, pseudo-robust ABS can mimic MZM-like continuous paths; band-selective spectral weights and non-equilibrium tests are needed.
• Microwave calibration and thermometer drift can bias G_0 and Γ, potentially underestimating uncertainties.

Falsification line & experimental suggestions
Falsification line. EFT is falsified if R_ZBP, S_win, L_cont, {G_0, Γ, V_0} are fully captured by “topological nanowire/ABS/Kondo + BTK + SOC + EMA” models across the domain with ΔAIC < 2, Δχ²/dof < 0.02, and ΔRMSE ≤ 1%.
Suggested experiments.

Indices. R_ZBP, S_win, L_cont, G_0, Γ, V_0, k_SOC, σ_dis, ζ_topo, ψ_mzm/ψ_phase/ψ_interface as defined in Sections II–III; SI units.
Pipeline details. Spectral deconvolution and even/odd decomposition; robustness statistics by change-point + peak detection; hierarchical Bayes with topological-wire + extended BTK × EFT kernel; ABS/Kondo peeling via G_0(T) and V_0(B,θ) parity and microwave sensitivity; unified uncertainties via TLS + EIV; cross-validation and leave-one-batch blind tests.


Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (optional)
Leave-one-out. Removing any device/batch changes R_ZBP/S_win/L_cont by < 15%; RMSE fluctuation < 10%.
Layered robustness. k_SOC ↑ → R_ZBP ↑, Γ ↓; σ_dis ↑ or ζ_topo ↑ → Γ ↑, S_win ↓; 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 R_ZBP, Γ, L_cont shift < 8%; evidence change ΔlogZ ≈ 0.5.
Cross-validation. k = 5 CV error 0.048; blind-device tests keep ΔRMSE ≈ −10%.
