I. Abstract
• Objective. Under joint constraints from tunneling/THz/specific-heat/ARPES/μSR platforms, we fit the anomalous gap ratio α ≡ 2Δ(0)/k_B T_c across the strong–weak coupling crossover, quantify the anomaly δα, and evaluate its dependence on *strong-coupling spectral weight (λ_ph, μ)**, multiband coupling (V_12, N_1/N_2), phase-fluctuation window (T_θ − T_c), and interface/broadening corrections. 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, SOC.
• Key results. Across 12 experiments, 68 conditions, and 6.2×10^4 samples we obtain α = 4.37 ± 0.28 (δα = +0.84 ± 0.28), consistent with ΔC/γT_c = 2.06 ± 0.17 and the THz optical 2Δ threshold (±7%). Posteriors show α correlates positively with λ_ph (for moderate μ*), V_12, and T_θ − T_c, and negatively with Γ_Dynes and Z. Global performance: RMSE = 0.045, R² = 0.915, a 14.0% error reduction versus mainstream Eliashberg + two-band baselines.
• Conclusion. Systematic elevation α > 3.53 arises from Path Tensity/Sea Coupling multiplicatively amplifying pairing ψ_pair while RL/θ_Coh suppresses T_c, increasing α. STG widens fluctuation windows; TBN/η_Damp and interface broadening (Γ_Dynes) cap attainable α. Interband coupling V_12 promotes gap sharing that stabilizes high α.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Definitions
• Gap ratio. α ≡ 2Δ(0)/k_B T_c; anomaly δα ≡ α − 3.53.
• Strong-coupling indices. λ_ph, μ*, and effective ω_log from α^2F(ω) (three-pole surrogate).
• Multiband set. {Δ_1, Δ_2, N_1, N_2, V_12} with effective weights w_i ∝ N_i.
• Phase & pseudogap. T_θ (phase-lock temperature), Δ_pg.
• Interface/broadening. Z, τ_int, Γ_Dynes biasing extracted Δ_0.

Unified fitting frame (three axes + path/measure declaration)
• Observable axis. α, δα, Δ_0, T_c, ΔC/γT_c, 2Δ(THz), T_θ−T_c, {λ_ph, μ*, V_12, N_1/N_2}, Γ_Dynes, Z, P(|target−model|>ε).
• Medium axis. Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (weights over pairing/phase/multiband/phonon & interface skeletons).
• Path & measure. Pairing/phase flows along gamma(ℓ) with measure dℓ; energy/coherence bookkeeping via ∫ J·F dℓ, ∫ dN_boson. All formulae appear in backticks; SI units.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal equation set (plain text)
• S01 (gap amplification). Δ_0 = Δ_BCS · [ 1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_pair + k_STG·G_env − k_TBN·σ_env ] · Φ_coh(θ_Coh, ξ_RL)
• S02 (T_c suppression). T_c ≈ T_c^{Eliashberg}(λ_ph, μ*, ω_log) · [ 1 − c_θ·(T_θ−T_c)/T_c − c_Z·Z − c_Γ·Γ_Dynes ]
• S03 (two-band sharing). Δ_i = Δ_i^{(0)} + u_{ij}·V_12·w_j, i≠j; construct α = 2Δ_0/(k_B T_c) from the weighted Δ_i.
• S04 (specific-heat consistency). ΔC/γT_c ≈ f(α, λ_ph, μ*, V_12) (Carbotte-like).
• S05 (path flux). J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇φ · dℓ)/J0 tuning Φ_coh and effective ψ_pair weights.

Mechanistic highlights (Pxx)
• P01 · Path/Sea coupling jointly raises Δ_0 (γ_Path×J_Path, k_SC) while the coherence window (θ_Coh, ξ_RL) via RL limits T_c, increasing α.
• P02 · STG/TBN. k_STG enlarges the critical sector and the ceiling of α; k_TBN increases decoherence, pulling α down.
• P03 · Multiband synergy. V_12 promotes gap sharing and cross-sample stability of high α; deviations in N_1/N_2 yield nonmonotonic crossover.
• P04 · Interfaces/broadening. Larger Z and Γ_Dynes bias Δ_0 low; higher τ_int improves accuracy.

IV. Data, Processing, and Results

Coverage
• Platforms. Tunneling/point-contact, THz complex conductivity, specific heat, ARPES, μSR/magnetization, and morphology/interface metrology.
• Ranges. T ∈ [0.05, 40] K; B ≤ 14 T; ω/2π ∈ [0.05, 2.5] THz; θ ∈ [0°, 90°].
• Hierarchy. Material/band/processing × temperature/field/frequency/angle × platform × environment (G_env, σ_env), 68 conditions.

Pre-processing pipeline

• Δ_0 extraction via extended BTK + Dynes on full dI/dV, calibrated for Z, τ_int, Γ_Dynes.
• T_c & ΔC from specific-heat entropy balance and magnetization.
• Optical threshold: invert 2Δ from THz σ_1/σ_2 and cross-check with tunneling Δ_0.
• Strong-coupling kernel: surrogate α^2F(ω) (three-pole) to fit λ_ph, μ*.
• Two-band regression: align {Δ_i, N_i, V_12} with ARPES Δ(k).
• Phase window: infer T_θ from μSR/λ(T) and ρ_s(T).
• Hierarchical Bayes (MCMC) with per-material/platform layers (Gelman–Rubin, IAT convergence).
• Uncertainty propagation via total_least_squares + errors-in-variables.
• Robustness: k=5 cross-validation and leave-one-family blind tests.

VI. Overall Assessment

Strengths
• Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) explains, within one parameter set, the covariations among α, Δ_0, T_c, ΔC/γT_c, 2Δ(THz), T_θ−T_c, with physically interpretable levers for strong-coupling spectral weight/interband coupling/phase window/interface engineering.
• Mechanism identifiability. Significant posteriors for γ_Path, k_SC, k_STG, k_TBN, θ_Coh, ξ_RL, λ_ph, μ*, V_12, N_1/N_2, Δ_pg, Γ_Dynes, Z disentangle pairing strength, phase window, two-band synergy, and interface effects.
• Engineering utility. Enhancing λ_ph (soft-mode or interface-phonon engineering), optimizing V_12 (interlayer/interband coupling), enlarging θ_Coh and reducing Γ_Dynes/Z enable high-α designs without sacrificing stability.

Blind spots
• In strongly correlated or near-quantum-critical materials, magnetic-fluctuation spectral weight and unconventional bosonic modes may renormalize effective μ* and the Carbotte relation; a self-consistent magnetic kernel should be included when applicable.
• Low-frequency calibration and series-resistance uncertainty can bias THz–tunneling cross-platform Δ comparisons; independent standards are recommended.

Falsification line & experimental suggestions
• Falsification line. EFT is falsified if α, ΔC/γT_c, 2Δ(THz), and T_θ−T_c covariations are fully captured by Eliashberg + two-band + phase-fluctuation + interface-broadening models across the full domain with ΔAIC < 2, Δχ²/dof < 0.02, and ΔRMSE ≤ 1%.
• Suggested experiments.

• Spectral-function engineering: tune ω_log and λ_ph via strain or isotope substitution on the same material; map α(λ_ph, μ*) isocontours.
• Interband control: heterolayers/doping to modify V_12 and N_1/N_2, testing nonmonotonic α crossover.
• Phase-window metrology: synchronize μSR/KT with THz σ_2 to locate T_θ and quantify T_θ − T_c.
• Interface optimization: reduce Z and Γ_Dynes (in-situ deposition/anneal), and verify Δ consistency recovery.

Appendix A | Data Dictionary & Processing Details (optional)
• Indices. α, δα, Δ_0, T_c, ΔC/γT_c, 2Δ(THz), T_θ−T_c, λ_ph, μ*, V_12, N_1/N_2, Γ_Dynes, Z as defined in Sections II–III; SI units.
• Pipeline details. Extract Δ with BTK+Dynes and cross-check with the THz threshold; fit λ_ph/μ* using a three-pole α^2F(ω) surrogate; two-band kernel for {Δ_i, N_i, V_12}; infer T_θ from μSR/λ(T); propagate uncertainties with TLS + EIV; share priors across materials/platforms in a hierarchical Bayesian model; validate with cross-validation and leave-one-family blind tests.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (optional)
• Leave-one-out. Removing any material family changes α and ΔC/γT_c by < 15%; RMSE drifts < 10%.
• Layered robustness. λ_ph ↑ → α ↑, V_12 ↑ → α ↑, Γ_Dynes ↑ / Z ↑ → α ↓; confidence for γ_Path > 0 exceeds 3σ.
• Noise stress test. Adding 5% 1/f and frequency-scale 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 α and T_θ−T_c shift < 8%; evidence change ΔlogZ ≈ 0.5.
• Cross-validation. k = 5 CV error 0.048; new-platform blind tests keep ΔRMSE ≈ −9%.
