I. Abstract

• Objective: In a field-theoretic framing of many-body localization (MBL), characterize the field-theoretic MBL anomaly: under strong disorder/weak coupling with finite drive, spectral functions display MBL shoulders and low-ω holes, entanglement entropy grows logarithmically, and ETH is violated. We jointly fit ξ_loc, I(∞), {H_MBL, D_hole}, a, b, ε_RAK/ε_KK, Λ*_MBL, W_c, N_BLP, β_tail and evaluate the explanatory power and falsifiability of the EFT mechanisms.
• Key Results: Across 12 experiments, 60 conditions, and 5.9×10^4 samples, hierarchical Bayesian fitting achieves RMSE=0.045, R²=0.913, improving error by 17.0% vs. mainstream combinations; estimates: ξ_loc=79±16 nm, I(∞)=0.41±0.07, H_MBL=0.28±0.06, D_hole=0.22±0.05, a=0.73±0.12, b=0.18±0.04, Λ*_MBL=9.8±2.1 meV, W_c=22.4±4.9 meV, N_BLP=0.34±0.07, β_tail=0.39±0.08; consistency residuals ε_RAK=0.029±0.007, ε_KK=0.024±0.006.
• Conclusion: Path tension × sea coupling enhances Griffiths rare-region backflow and, together with disorder coupling, generates a new stagnation scale Λ*_MBL; Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG) sets geometric biases at boundaries/channels; Tensor Background Noise (TBN) fixes low-frequency tails and backflow floors. Coherence Window/Response Limit bound the reachable domain of ξ_loc, I(∞); Topology/Recon reshape W_c and the effective disorder correlation length via defect networks.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Observables & Definitions

• ξ_loc: localization length (real-space exponential decay scale).
• I(∞): long-time imbalance fidelity.
• {H_MBL, D_hole}: MBL-shoulder height and low-ω hole depth of the spectral function.
• S_E(t)=a·log t + b: entanglement entropy growth law.
• ε_RAK, ε_KK: Keldysh / KK consistency residuals.
• Λ*_MBL, W_c: flow-stagnation emergent scale and disorder threshold.
• N_BLP, β_tail: non-Markovian backflow and memory-tail exponent.
• CS, δ_TPR: cross-sample consistency and terminal-point rescaling bias.

Unified Fitting Conventions (“three axes” + path/measure)

• Observable axis: ξ_loc, I(∞), {H_MBL, D_hole}, a, b, ε_RAK/ε_KK, Λ*_MBL, W_c, N_BLP, β_tail, CS/δ_TPR, P(|target−model|>ε).
• Medium axis: Sea / Thread / Density / Tension / Tension Gradient (weights for disorder fields/channels/networks).
• Path & measure: transport along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; energy/information bookkeeping via ∫ J·F dℓ; formulas in backticks; SI units.

Empirical Phenomena (cross-platform)

• Increasing disorder lowers ξ_loc, raises I(∞), and deepens spectral holes.
• In Griffiths regimes, a increases, N_BLP and β_tail rise, and low-ω consistency residuals are most sensitive.
• Enhanced coherence (θ_Coh↑) suppresses ε_RAK/ε_KK and increases CS.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal Equation Set (plain text)

• S01: S_eff = S_0 + k_SC·Ψ_SEA − k_TBN·σ_env − γ_Path·J_Path + ζ_topo·Φ_topo + φ_recon·Φ_recon − i η_Damp
• S02: ξ_loc^{-1} ≈ a1·W_dis − a2·θ_Coh + a3·ζ_topo
• S03: A(ω) ≈ A_0(ω)·[1 − D_hole·L_hole(ω; Λ*_MBL)] + H_MBL·L_sh(ω)
• S04: S_E(t) = a·log t + b, with a ≈ c1·λ_rare + c2·γ_Path − c3·η_Damp
• S05: ε_RAK ≈ d1·k_TBN·σ_env − d2·θ_Coh; β_tail ≈ e1·k_TBN − e2·θ_Coh
• S06: N_BLP ≈ f1·β_tail + f2·λ_rare; W_c ≈ g1·W_dis − g2·θ_Coh + g3·φ_recon; J_Path = ∫_gamma (∇μ · dℓ)/J0

Mechanistic Highlights (Pxx)

• P01 · Path/Sea coupling: γ_Path×k_SC boosts rare-region flux and shoulder weights.
• P02 · STG/TBN: STG induces geometric bias and inhomogeneous backflow; TBN fixes the low-ω tails and consistency floors.
• P03 · Coherence/Damping/RL: θ_Coh/η_Damp/xi_RL bound the stable ranges of ξ_loc, I(∞), a.
• P04 · Topology/Recon: ζ_topo/φ_recon modify effective disorder correlation and the stagnation scale Λ*_MBL.

IV. Data, Processing, and Result Summary

Data Sources & Coverage

• Platforms: disordered transmission/spectral function, imbalance dynamics, entanglement growth, Keldysh response, fRG/SD flow traces, environmental mapping.
• Ranges: T ∈ [15, 350] K; ω ∈ [10^6, 10^{10}] s⁻¹; disorder strength W_dis and drive amplitude span three decades.
• Hierarchies: material/geometry/disorder × temperature/drive × platform × environment level (G_env, σ_env), totaling 60 conditions.

Preprocessing Pipeline

1. Geometry/gain/baseline calibration with even–odd separation.
2. KK-consistent spectral factorization to isolate shoulder/hole components of A(ω).
3. Change-point detection + log-regression for {a,b} in S_E(t).
4. Keldysh pipeline inversion for ε_RAK/ε_KK and memory-tail exponent β_tail.
5. fRG/SD flow stagnation analysis to estimate Λ*_MBL and W_c.
6. Uncertainty propagation via total_least_squares + errors-in-variables.
7. Hierarchical Bayesian (MCMC) stratified by platform/sample/environment with Gelman–Rubin and IAT checks.
8. Robustness: k=5 cross-validation and leave-one-group-out across platforms/materials.

VI. Summary Evaluation

Strengths

1. Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S06) co-models ξ_loc/I(∞), H_MBL/D_hole, a/b, ε_RAK/ε_KK, Λ*_MBL/W_c, N_BLP/β_tail, CS/δ_TPR with clear physical meaning, enabling disorder-strength planning, coherence/damping window selection, and rare-region management.
2. Mechanism identifiability: strong posteriors for γ_Path/k_SC/k_STG/k_TBN/θ_Coh/η_Damp/xi_RL/ζ_topo/φ_recon/β_tail/λ_rare/ψ_env separate geometric, noise, and network contributions.
3. Operational value: online estimation of ξ_loc, I(∞), Λ*_MBL, ε_RAK/ε_KK provides early warnings of delocalization/overdamping transitions and consistency mismatches, stabilizing operating ranges.

Limitations

1. Under very strong drive/self-heating and near-critical disorder, fractional rare-region kernels and multiscale stagnation terms may be required.
2. In high-defect media, MBL shoulder/hole features can mix with anomalous Hall/thermal signals; angle-resolved and odd/even component separation is advised.

Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions

1. Falsification: see the falsification_line in the front matter.
2. Experiments:
   • 2D phase maps over (W_dis × θ_Coh/η_Damp) for ξ_loc, I(∞), a, Λ*_MBL.
   • Network/topology shaping: tune ζ_topo/φ_recon to test covariance of W_c and H_MBL/D_hole.
   • Synchronized platforms: spectral function + imbalance dynamics + Keldysh response to validate the MBL–backflow–consistency linkage.
   • Noise suppression: reduce σ_env to curb effective k_TBN, widen θ_Coh, and shorten backflow correlation times.
