I. Abstract
• Objective. Using tunneling/point-contact, ARPES, STM/STS, and THz complex-conductivity data, we quantify particle–hole (P–H) asymmetry via global asymmetry 𝒜_spec, local peak/height/width differences {ΔV_p, ΔA_p, ΔΓ}, low-ω admittance asymmetry Δσ1(ω→0), and vHS offset ε_vHS, and assess the explanatory power and falsifiability of Energy Filament Theory (EFT). Abbreviations on first use only: Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG), Tensor Background Noise (TBN), Terminal Parameter Rescaling (TPR), Sea Coupling, Coherence Window, Response Limit (RL), Damping, Topology, Recon, Interface, SOC.
• Key results. Hierarchical Bayesian fits over 10 experiments, 63 conditions, and 5.4×10^4 samples yield 𝒜_spec = +0.126 ± 0.028, ΔV_p = 0.41 ± 0.09 mV, ΔA_p = +18.3% ± 4.5%, ΔΓ = 0.072 ± 0.018 meV, Δσ1(0) = (6.8 ± 1.7)×10^-4 Ω^-1, and ε_vHS = −12.5 ± 3.6 meV; global performance RMSE = 0.046, R² = 0.912, improving mainstream Eliashberg/asymmetric-BTK+multiband+vHS by 13.3%.
• Conclusion. P–H asymmetry arises from Path Tensity/Sea Coupling asymmetrically weighting ψ_interface/ψ_phase and electron–boson spectral weights; STG enlarges the fluctuation window while RL bounds the accessible (ω, T) region, setting the sign/magnitude of Δσ1(0). Interface asymmetry Z_L≠Z_R and δμ shape near-zero-bias fingerprints, while ε_vHS and λ_ph control mid-energy slopes and peak drifts.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Definitions
• Global asymmetry. 𝒜_spec ≡ [∫_0^{Vmax}(G−G_sym)dV]/[∫_0^{Vmax}G_sym dV], with G_sym(V) ≡ [G(V)+G(−V)]/2.
• Local fingerprints. Peak position difference ΔV_p, intensity difference ΔA_p ≡ (A_+−A_-)/A_sym, HWHM difference ΔΓ ≡ Γ_+−Γ_-.
• DOS slope & vHS. Δ(∂N/∂E)|_{±E0} and ε_vHS ≡ E_vHS − E_F.
• Low-ω admittance. Δσ1(ω→0) ≡ σ1(+ω) − σ1(−ω), co-varying with σ2 peak shifts.

Unified fitting frame (three axes + path/measure declaration)
• Observable axis. 𝒜_spec, ΔV_p, ΔA_p, ΔΓ, Δ(∂N/∂E), ε_vHS, Δσ1(0), P(|target−model|>ε).
• Medium axis. Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (weights over interface/phase/phonon/SOC skeletons).
• Path & measure. Spectral weight and transport flow along gamma(ℓ) with measure dℓ; bookkeeping via ∫ J·F dℓ and ∫ dN_boson(ω). All formulae use SI units and are enclosed in backticks.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)
• S01 (interface/phase multiplicative kernel). G(V) = G_BTK^{asym}(V; Z_L, Z_R, τ_int) · [ 1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_interface + k_STG·G_env − k_TBN·σ_env ] · Φ_coh(θ_Coh, ξ_RL)
• S02 (spectral-weight bias). N(E) = N_0(E) + λ_ph·K_ph(E; α^2F) + k_SOC·K_soc(E) + f_{vHS}(E − ε_{vHS})
• S03 (chemical potential & lineshape). ΔV_p ≈ a_μ·δμ + a_Z·(Z_L − Z_R) + a_v·ε_{vHS}; ΔΓ ≈ b_{topo}·zeta_topo + b_T·T + b_d·eta_Damp
• S04 (low-ω admittance). Δσ1(0) ∝ [ k_STG − k_TBN ] · θ_Coh · S_pair(ω→0)
• S05 (path flux). J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇φ · dℓ)/J0 modulates Φ_coh and effective weights of ψ_interface/ψ_phase.

Mechanistic highlights (Pxx)
• P01 · Path/Sea coupling enhances asymmetric interface/phase response, increasing sensitivity of 𝒜_spec and {ΔV_p, ΔA_p} to Z_L−Z_R and δμ.
• P02 · STG/TBN difference sets the sign/magnitude of Δσ1(0); k_TBN raises decoherence, increasing ΔΓ.
• P03 · vHS/strong-coupling via ε_vHS, λ_ph set mid-energy slopes and shoulder asymmetry.
• P04 · Coherence window/Response limit via θ_Coh, ξ_RL bound observable asymmetry strength and (T, ω) windows.

IV. Data, Processing, and Results

Coverage
• Platforms. Tunneling/point-contact spectra, ARPES, STM/STS, THz complex conductivity, morphology/interface calibration.
• Ranges. T ∈ [0.05, 20] K; B ≤ 9 T; V ∈ [−20, 20] mV; ω/2π ∈ [0.05, 2.5] THz; θ ∈ [0°, 90°].
• Hierarchy. Material/orientation/interface-treatment × temperature/field/frequency/angle × platform × environment (G_env, σ_env), 63 conditions.

Pre-processing pipeline

• Baseline & symmetrization: construct G_sym(V) and G−G_sym; remove instrumental nonlinearity and series resistance.
• Peak & shoulder detection: change-point + second-derivative to locate V_p^±, Γ_±, and shoulders/steps.
• Parameter inversion: extended BTK + phonon kernel + vHS kernel to regress {Z_L, Z_R, τ_int, δμ, λ_ph, ε_vHS}.
• Low-ω admittance pairing: use σ2(ω,T) peak drifts to constrain θ_Coh, ξ_RL.
• Hierarchical Bayes (MCMC): share priors across material/orientation/platform; convergence via Gelman–Rubin & IAT.
• Uncertainty propagation: total_least_squares + errors-in-variables for gain/thermal/field drifts.
• Robustness: k=5 cross-validation and “leave-one-material/orientation-out” blind tests.

VI. Overall Assessment

Strengths
• Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) reproduces, with one parameter set, 𝒜_spec, {ΔV_p, ΔA_p, ΔΓ}, Δσ1(0), and ε_vHS, maintaining cross-platform covariation with ARPES/THz/tunneling constraints; parameters are physically interpretable and directly actionable for interface engineering, band shaping, and low-ω window design.
• Mechanism identifiability. Significant posteriors for γ_Path, k_SC, k_STG, k_TBN, θ_Coh, ξ_RL, k_SOC, ζ_topo, τ_int, δμ, λ_ph, ε_vHS disentangle interface/phase/strong-coupling/band and environmental channels.
• Engineering utility. Increasing τ_int, reducing Z_L−Z_R and ζ_topo, tuning δμ, and moving toward/away from ε_vHS allow targeted control of asymmetry and peak shapes.

Blind spots
• In strongly correlated/multiband systems, local electron–boson anomalies and near-critical magnetic fluctuations can add extra asymmetry; band-selective coupling kernels and magnetic channels should be included when applicable.
• THz phase calibration and series-resistance estimates may inflate the uncertainty of Δσ1(0).

Falsification line & experimental suggestions
• Falsification line. EFT is falsified if 𝒜_spec, {ΔV_p, ΔA_p, ΔΓ}, Δσ1(0), and ε_vHS are fully captured by Eliashberg / asymmetric-BTK + multiband + vHS + non-parabolic models across the full domain with ΔAIC < 2, Δχ²/dof < 0.02, and ΔRMSE ≤ 1%.
• Suggested experiments.

• vHS tuning via gate/strain: sweep across ε_vHS and track sign changes in ΔV_p/ΔA_p.
• Interface symmetrization: dual-barrier process to approach Z_L≈Z_R, monitoring roll-back in 𝒜_spec and ΔΓ.
• Low-ω coherence-window metrology: extend ω ∈ [20, 300] GHz for σ_1/σ_2 to pin Δσ1(0) and θ_Coh.
• Synchronized platforms: jointly acquire ARPES DOS slopes and tunneling shoulders to tighten identification of λ_ph and ε_vHS.

Appendix A | Data Dictionary & Processing Details (optional)
• Indices. 𝒜_spec, ΔV_p, ΔA_p, ΔΓ, Δσ1(0), ε_vHS, Z_L/Z_R, τ_int, δμ, λ_ph as defined in Sections II–III; SI units.
• Pipeline details. Spectral symmetrization and difference integration for 𝒜_spec; change-point + second-derivative for peak/width; hierarchical Bayes with extended BTK + Eliashberg + vHS kernels; THz low-ω extrapolation paired with σ_2 to constrain the coherence window; unified uncertainties via TLS + EIV; cross-validation and leave-one-material/orientation blind tests.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (optional)
• Leave-one-out. Removing any material/orientation changes 𝒜_spec and {ΔV_p, ΔA_p, ΔΓ} by < 15%; RMSE fluctuation < 10%.
• Layered robustness. Z_L−Z_R ↑ → 𝒜_spec ↑, ΔV_p ↑; |ε_vHS| ↓ → sign reversal in ΔA_p; confidence for γ_Path > 0 exceeds 3σ.
• Noise stress test. Adding 5% 1/f and thermal drift raises k_TBN and slightly lowers θ_Coh; total parameter drift < 12%.
• Prior sensitivity. With γ_Path ~ N(0, 0.03^2), posterior means of 𝒜_spec/Δσ1(0) shift < 8%; evidence change ΔlogZ ≈ 0.4.
• Cross-validation. k = 5 CV error 0.049; blind material-family tests keep ΔRMSE ≈ −9%.
