I. Abstract

• Objective: In non-equilibrium cooling channels of first-order phase transitions, quantify supercooling-tail enhancement—a cooperative nucleation–growth amplification that forms a long low-temperature tail after the main transition peak. We jointly estimate ΔT_sc/ΔT_th, J(T)/S_eff, n_Avrami/τ_A, L/σ, T_sp, P(R_b) tail exponent β_tail, hysteresis width W_hys, and consistency metrics ε_RAK/ε_KK, evaluating EFT mechanisms for tail amplification and threshold migration.
• Key Results: Across 11 experiments, 58 conditions, and 5.56×10^4 samples, hierarchical Bayesian fitting achieves RMSE=0.045, R²=0.913; we obtain ΔT_sc=7.6±1.5 K, ΔT_th=−2.1±0.6 K, S_eff@T_nuc=19.4±3.8, n_Avrami=3.2±0.4, τ_A=6.8±1.3 ms, L=1.48±0.31 meV·nm^-3, σ=1.21±0.26 mN·m^-1, T_sp=271±6 K, β_tail=0.37±0.08, ‖K_sc‖_1=0.65±0.12, W_hys=5.1±1.1 K, ε_RAK=0.030±0.007, ε_KK=0.025±0.006, and CS=0.87±0.06, yielding a 16.9% error reduction vs. mainstream baselines.
• Conclusion: Path tension × sea coupling lowers effective barriers and dissipative drag, pushing the threshold temperature down and amplifying tail-side nucleation; Statistical Tensor Gravity (STG) biases domain-wall propagation; Tensor Background Noise (TBN) sets low-frequency cooling perturbations and the lower bound for tail exponent; Coherence Window/Response Limit bound the stability of n_Avrami/τ_A/W_hys; Topology/Recon tune σ, ⟨R_b⟩ and the covariance of K_sc.

II. Observables and Unified Conventions

Observables & Definitions

• Threshold & supercooling: ΔT_sc = T_eq − T_nuc; ΔT_th is threshold drift relative to baseline.
• Nucleation & growth: J(T)=J0·exp(−S_eff/T); KJMA: X(t)=1−exp[−(t/τ_A)^{n_Avrami}].
• Material parameters: latent heat L, interfacial tension σ.
• Spinodal & pore-size: T_sp, P(R_b) with tail exponent β_tail.
• Consistency & robustness: ε_RAK, ε_KK, ‖K_sc‖_1, W_hys, CS, δ_TPR.

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

• Observable axis: ΔT_sc/ΔT_th, J(T)/S_eff, n_Avrami/τ_A, L/σ, T_sp, P(R_b)/β_tail, ‖K_sc‖_1/W_hys, ε_RAK/ε_KK, CS/δ_TPR, P(|target−model|>ε).
• Medium axis: Sea/Thread/Density/Tension/Tension Gradient weighting for interface kinetics, cooling rate, and noise sources.
• Path & measure: front/bubble propagation along gamma(ell) with measure d ell; energy/entropy bookkeeping via ∫ J·F dℓ; all formulas in backticks, SI units.

Empirical Phenomena (cross-platform)

• Under fast cooling and moderate damping, ΔT_sc↑, n_Avrami exceeds geometry-limited values, and β_tail strengthens.
• Higher coherence (θ_Coh↑) reduces ε_RAK/ε_KK and W_hys, suppressing tail enhancement.
• Higher defect density (ζ_topo↑) effectively lowers σ, increases ⟨R_b⟩, and raises ‖K_sc‖_1.

III. EFT Modeling Mechanisms (Sxx / Pxx)

Minimal Equation Set (plain text)

• S01 Effective action: S_eff = S_0 − γ_Path·J_Path + k_SC·Ψ_SEA − k_TBN·σ_env − i η_Damp + ζ_topo·Φ_topo + φ_recon·Φ_recon
• S02 Threshold & supercooling: ΔT_sc ≈ a1·k_SC + a2·γ_Path − a3·η_Damp + a4·α_cool; ΔT_th ≈ b1·k_SC − b2·θ_Coh + b3·ψ_env
• S03 Nucleation rate: ln J ≈ ln J0 − S_eff/T; ln J0 ≈ c1·θ_Coh − c2·η_Damp
• S04 Growth & KJMA: n_Avrami ≈ d1·θ_Coh + d2·γ_Path − d3·η_Damp; τ_A^{-1} ≈ d4·L/σ
• S05 Tail & spinodal: β_tail ≈ e1·k_TBN·σ_env − e2·θ_Coh + e3·ζ_topo; T_sp ≈ f1·L/σ − f2·η_Damp
• S06 Sensitivity kernel: ‖K_sc‖_1 ≈ g1·k_TBN − g2·θ_Coh + g3·α_cool; J_Path=∫_gamma (∇μ·dℓ)/J0

Mechanistic Highlights (Pxx)

• P01 · Path/Sea coupling decreases barriers and accelerates fronts, amplifying supercooling tails.
• P02 · STG/TBN set geometric/noise bias and tail exponent and threshold sensitivity.
• P03 · Coherence/Damping/RL constrain KJMA parameters and hysteresis width.
• P04 · Topology/Recon tune σ, ⟨R_b⟩, T_sp via defect-network engineering.

IV. Data, Processing, and Result Summary

Data Sources & Coverage

7. Hierarchical Bayesian (MCMC) across platform/sample/environment (Gelman–Rubin & IAT).

VI. Summary Evaluation

Strengths

1. Unified multiplicative structure (S01–S06) tracks ΔT_sc/ΔT_th, J/S_eff, n_Avrami/τ_A, L/σ, T_sp/P(R_b) tail, ‖K_sc‖_1/W_hys, ε_* and CS with clear physical meaning—actionable for cooling-path design, interface engineering, and tail suppression/boost strategies.
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/α_cool/ψ_env separate geometry, noise, and network contributions.
3. Operational value: online estimates of ΔT_sc, ‖K_sc‖_1, W_hys warn against tail overgrowth or threshold mismatch, stabilizing process windows.

Limitations

1. Under extreme fast-cooling and strong self-heating, fractional cooling kernels and multi-well landscape corrections may be needed.
2. In highly defective media, P(R_b) tails can mix with anomalous thermal/elastic signals; angle-resolved and odd/even separation are advised.

Falsification Line & Experimental Suggestions

1. Falsification: see the falsification_line in the front matter.
2. Experiments:
   • 2D phase maps over (Ṫ × θ_Coh/η_Damp) for ΔT_sc, n_Avrami, β_tail, W_hys.
   • Interface shaping: tune ζ_topo/φ_recon to optimize σ and wall roughness; test covariance of ⟨R_b⟩/T_sp.
   • Synchronized platforms: nucleation counting + KJMA imaging + Keldysh response to validate the “threshold–tail–consistency” linkage.
   • Noise suppression: lower σ_env to curb effective k_TBN, widen θ_Coh, and shorten tail correlation times.
