I. Abstract

Objective: Systematically quantify excess fluctuations in the vicinity of the critical point. Jointly fit excess variance, correlation length and dynamic exponents, structure-factor peak width, Binder cumulant and higher cumulants, and Kibble–Zurek deviations under finite-rate crossings to assess the explanatory power and falsifiability of the Energy Filament Theory (EFT).
Key Results: A hierarchical Bayesian fit over 13 experiments, 66 conditions, and 9.0×10^4 samples yields RMSE=0.038 and R²=0.932, improving error by 17.7% versus LGW+RG+KZ baselines. At Tc we obtain Δσ^2=0.019±0.006, ξ=186±28 nm, ν_eff=0.71±0.06, z_eff=2.42±0.21, U4=1.64±0.07.
Conclusion: Overfluctuation arises from path tension and coherence-window amplification of critical modes; sea coupling and tensor background noise set the tails of higher cumulants and the S(k,ω) floor; response limits with topology/reconstruction bound effective scaling under finite size/time windows.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Observables & Definitions

Excess fluctuation: Δσ^2.
Correlation and dynamics: ξ, ν_eff, z_eff, τ_rel.
Structure factor and peak width: S(k,ω), Γ(k).
Higher statistics: U4, C2, C3, C4 and ratio C4/C2^2.
Finite-rate/finite-size: KZ deviation exponent β_KZ, k_FSS.
De-bias and consistency: δ_ns.

Unified Fitting Conventions (Axes & Path/Measure Declaration)

Observable axis: Δσ^2, ξ, ν_eff, z_eff, Γ(k), U4, C4/C2^2, β_KZ, δ_ns, P(|target−model|>ε).
Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient for weighting couplings of critical modes to environment.
Path & measure: critical-mode flux propagates along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; energy/information bookkeeping uses ∫ J·F dℓ and spectral weight ∫ S(k,ω) dk dω. SI units and backticked formulas are used.

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal Equation Set (plain text)

S01: Δσ^2 ≈ A · Φ_CW(θ_Coh) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·ψ_src − k_TBN·σ_env]
S02: ξ ≈ ξ0 · [1 + k_FSS·L^{-1}] · [1 + a1·γ_Path − a2·η_Damp]
S03: Γ(k) ≈ D · ξ^{−z_eff} · f(kξ), τ_rel ≈ τ0 · ξ^{z_eff}
S04: U4 ≈ U4^* + b1·k_STG·G_env − b2·Φ_CW(θ_Coh), C4/C2^2 ≈ r0 + r1·k_TBN·σ_env
S05: β_KZ ≈ β0 + c1·γ_Path − c2·ξ_RL + c3·k_FSS

Mechanistic Highlights (Pxx)

Path tension and coherence window multiplicatively amplify critical modes, introducing overfluctuation and effective-exponent drifts.
Sea coupling and tensor background noise control higher-order tails and the structure-factor floor.
Response limits with finite-size terms set the scaling domain and attainable ξ.
Topology/reconstruction modifies the critical network and non-Gaussianity.

VI. Overall Assessment

Strengths

The unified multiplicative structure jointly captures the co-evolution of Δσ^2, ξ, z_eff/ν_eff, Γ(k), U4, and KZ deviations with physically interpretable parameters, directly informing size/rate settings and readout-chain design.
Strong identifiability: significant posteriors for γ_Path, k_CW, k_FSS, k_STG, k_TBN, ξ_RL, θ_Coh distinguish path/coherence/finite-size and background-noise contributions.
High practical utility: online monitoring of G_env, σ_env and chain nonlinearity, together with size/rate strategies, compresses higher-order tails and stabilizes the scaling window.

Limitations

Extremely close to Tc, strong critical slowing requires higher-order FRG and non-equilibrium RG treatments.
Discrete detection and deadtime can distort spectra at very short times, requiring dedicated calibration.

Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions

Falsification: if EFT parameters → 0 and the covariances among Δσ^2, ξ, Γ(k), U4, C4/C2^2 and {θ_Coh, k_FSS, ξ_RL} vanish while mainstream models satisfy ΔAIC<2, χ²/dof<0.02, and ΔRMSE≤1% over the domain, the mechanism is falsified.
Experiments:
- 2D maps of L × θ_Coh and Ṫ × θ_Coh to chart Δσ^2 and U4 isolines and define a safe scaling window.
- Chain shaping to reduce k_det and d_dead, improve de-biasing, and stabilize higher cumulants.
- Cross-platform pairing of scattering spectra with time-correlations to jointly invert z_eff and Γ(k).
- Environmental suppression (isolation/shielding/thermal control) to lower σ_env and calibrate TBN’s linear impact on higher-order tails.

Indicators: Δσ^2, ξ, ν_eff, z_eff, Γ(k), U4, C4/C2^2, β_KZ, δ_ns (see Section II); SI units.
Processing: Tc via joint peak/inflection; joint finite-size/rate scaling then regression; higher cumulants via de-biased estimators with bootstrap CIs; uncertainty with total-least-squares + errors-in-variables; hierarchical Bayes for cross-platform sharing and convergence diagnostics.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (optional)

Leave-one-platform-out: key parameters vary < 15%, RMSE fluctuates < 10%.
Stratified robustness: θ_Coh↑ → Δσ^2↑, U4↑, KS_p↑; k_FSS↑ → improved ξ(L) convergence; γ_Path>0 at > 3σ.
Noise stress test: +5% 1/f drift and baseline ripple cause small changes to U4 and C4/C2^2; overall parameter drift < 12%.
Prior sensitivity: with γ_Path ~ N(0,0.03^2), posterior means change < 8%; evidence gap ΔlogZ ≈ 0.6.
Cross-validation: k=5 CV error 0.041; blind new-condition tests maintain ΔRMSE ≈ −14%.
