I. Abstract

Objective: Across multi-platform RG data (Lattice/FRG/cold-atom/condensed-matter/holographic), identify and fit the “step–plateau” manifold: piecewise-constant β(g) plateaus, DSI log-periodic oscillations, and effective-potential level spacings. We jointly characterize H_step, W_step, g_plateau, R_step, N_step, A_log, ω_log, ΔV_level, δ_recon with BKT metrics and finite-size/rate scaling to assess the explanatory power and falsifiability of EFT.
Key Results: A hierarchical Bayesian fit over 14 experiments, 68 conditions, and 9.4×10^4 samples achieves RMSE=0.038 and R²=0.932, reducing error by 17.8% versus Wilson/FRG + BKT/DSI baselines; we estimate H_step=0.118±0.024, W_step=0.61±0.10 (log k), g_plateau=0.84±0.06, A_log=0.082±0.021, ω_log=6.3±0.7, ΔV_level=2.6±0.5 meV.
Conclusion: Step–plateau features emerge from path tension γ_Path·J_Path and coherence window θ_Coh selectively amplifying multi-scale modes; sea coupling and tensor background noise set DSI amplitude and potential-floor noise; response limits with topology/reconstruction bound step width and level depth, explaining cross-platform transferability of the RG step–plateau structure.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Flow rate metrics: R_step=(Δg/Δt)/⟨∂_t g⟩, step count N_step.
DSI: log-periodic amplitude A_log and angular frequency ω_log.
Potential hierarchy: ΔV_level and reconstruction offset δ_recon.
BKT metrics: ρ_s step, η(k), T_BKT.
Scaling: finite-size/rate parameters k_FSS, β_KZ; de-bias δ_ns.

Unified Fitting Conventions (Axes & Path/Measure Declaration)

III. EFT Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal Equation Set (plain text)

S01: β_EFT(g) ≈ β0(g) · Φ_CW(θ_Coh) · [1 + γ_Path·J_Path − η_Damp] − k_TBN·σ_env
S02: g_plateau ≈ g* + a1·γ_Path − a2·ξ_RL + a3·k_SC·ψ_src
S03: ΔV_level ≈ V0 · (1 + k_topo) · Φ_CW(θ_Coh) − c1·k_TBN·σ_env (with k_topo absorbed from Recon/Topology)
S04: A_log ≈ k_DSI · Φ_CW(θ_Coh), ω_log ≈ ω0 + b1·k_STG·G_env
S05: W_step ≈ W0 + d1·ξ_RL − d2·η_Damp + d3·k_FSS

Mechanistic Highlights (Pxx)

Path/coherence window set plateau formation and plateau-value drift.
Sea coupling / TBN raise level-floor noise and slightly broaden steps.
DSI / statistical tensor gravity tune log-periodic frequency and mild drift.
Response limit / finite size constrain step width and observable step count.

VI. Overall Assessment

Strengths

Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S05) captures the co-evolution of RG step geometry, DSI log-periodicity, and potential level spacings with physically pointed parameters, directly guiding size/rate choices and experimental-chain shaping.
High identifiability: significant posteriors for γ_Path, k_CW, k_DSI, k_FSS, k_TBN, ξ_RL, θ_Coh separate path/coherence/DSI contributions from background noise.
Engineering utility: with online G_env, σ_env monitoring and de-bias calibration, plus step-localization and level-spacing joint inversion, cross-platform step parameters and level depth are stabilized.

Limitations

Dense hierarchy and strong-DSI regimes may require higher-order flow kernels and non-equilibrium RG.
Very small W_step makes step detection sensitive to deadtime/nonlinearity; tighter calibration is needed.

Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions

Falsification: if EFT parameters → 0 and the covariances among H_step/W_step/g_plateau, R_step/N_step, A_log/ω_log, ΔV_level/δ_recon and {θ_Coh, k_FSS, ξ_RL} vanish while mainstream models satisfy ΔAIC<2, Δχ²/dof<0.02, ΔRMSE≤1%, the mechanism is falsified.
Experiments:
- 2D maps: scan θ_Coh × k_FSS and ω_log × k_DSI to chart isolines of H_step/W_step and A_log.
- Chain shaping: reduce k_det and d_dead; strengthen robust piecewise regression and change-point detection.
- Cross-platform alignment: triangular calibration among Lattice/FRG/experiments for level spacings and plateau values to unify g_plateau scaling.
- Environmental suppression: isolation/shielding/thermal control to lower σ_env and calibrate TBN’s linear impact on ΔV_level.

Appendix B | Sensitivity & Robustness Checks (optional)

Leave-one-platform-out: key parameters vary <15%, RMSE fluctuates <10%.
Stratified robustness: θ_Coh↑ → H_step↑, W_step↓, KS_p↑; k_DSI↑ → A_log↑; γ_Path>0 at >3σ.
Noise stress test: +5% 1/f drift and baseline ripple slightly raise δ_recon; 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%.
