The pith

A machine-rendered reading of the paper's core claim, the machinery that carries it, and where it could break.

The reading

The paper seeks to show that the conformable derivative, defined by $D_T^{(\mu)}\psi = T^{1-\mu}d\psi/dT$, is not merely a phenomenological operator but the adiabatic limit of a coarse-grained microscopic dynamics. Starting from a spatially resolved time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation whose kinetic coefficient has the form $\Gamma(r,T)=\Gamma_0 T^{1-\mu} f(r)$, the paper averages over quenched disorder and obtains a non-Markovian memory term with kernel $K(\tau)\sim\tau^{\mu-1}$. In the slow-temperature-drive limit this convolution collapses, leaving exactly $T^{1-\mu}d\psi/dT\sim\langle\delta F/\delta\psi\rangle$. If the derivation is correct, the exponent $\mu$ stops being a free fitting parameter: it encodes critical exponents, barrier statistics, and disorder correlations, and conformable calculus becomes a physically grounded intermediate between classical and fractional dynamics.

What carries the argument

The central machinery is the decomposition of the local kinetic coefficient and thermodynamic force into spatial means plus fluctuations, followed by the factorization lemma stated in Eq. (67). That lemma lets the disorder-fluctuation term be rewritten as a convolution with $K(\tau)\equiv\langle\delta\Gamma(r)G(r,\tau)\rangle$, where $G(r,\tau)$ is a local causal response function. The power-law form of the kernel is obtained by averaging local exponential relaxation over a scale-free disorder distribution $P(f)\sim f^{-\alpha}$, and the adiabatic peaking of the kernel then converts the non-Markovian equation into the conformable form $T^{1-\mu}d\psi/dT\sim\langle\delta F/\delta\psi\rangle$.

What would settle it

Compute the two sides of Eq. (67) in a numerical simulation of the disordered time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation with prescribed $P(f)\sim f^{-\alpha}$; if the correlation between $\delta\Gamma(r)G(r,\tau)$ and the averaged thermodynamic force is nonzero at any delay, the factorization lemma fails and the derived memory-kernel and conformable structure do not follow.

Core claim

The central claim is that conformable relaxation dynamics emerge from microscopic disorder rather than being imposed. The argument starts with a local order-parameter dynamics $\partial_t\psi = -\Gamma(r,T)\,\delta F/\delta\psi$, with $\Gamma(r,T)=\Gamma_0 T^{1-\mu}f(r)$ and scale-free quenched disorder $P(f)\sim f^{-\alpha}$. Spatial averaging of the product $\Gamma\,\delta F/\delta\psi$ produces a fluctuation-fluctuation correlation that, through a factorization lemma, becomes a convolution with a memory kernel $K(\tau)=\langle\delta\Gamma(r)G(r,\tau)\rangle$. Averaging local exponential responses over the power-law disorder distribution gives $K(\tau)\sim\tau^{\mu-1}$, and in the adiabatic limit the convolution becomes effectively local, yielding the conformable structure $T^{1-\mu}d\psi/dT\sim\langle\delta F/\delta\psi\rangle$. The paper also connects $\mu$ to nonextensive thermodynamics through $\mu=1/(q-1)$, so that a single deformation parameter links disorder statistics, memory, and generalized entropy.

Load-bearing premise

The load-bearing premise is that the averaged thermodynamic force is statistically independent of both the local kinetic-coefficient fluctuations and the local response function; the paper states this factorization in its Lemma (Eq. (67)) without deriving it, and without it the memory kernel cannot be written as a convolution.

Editorial extensions

If this is right

  • If the central claim holds, conformable derivative models for critical relaxation have a first-principles basis: the exponent $\mu$ can be estimated from measured transport coefficients and disorder correlations rather than fitted.
  • The derivation predicts that memory kernels in disordered critical systems decay as power laws with exponent $\mu-1$, so measured relaxation spectra should show $\tau^{\mu-1}$ tails controlled by the barrier-distribution exponent.
  • In the adiabatic limit, memory effects are absorbed into an effective kinetic coefficient with the same $T^{1-\mu}$ scaling, so slow thermal sweeps near criticality can be described by the local conformable equation without explicitly carrying the convolution.
  • The relation $\mu=1/(q-1)$ connects the deformation parameter to nonextensive entropy, making the conformable framework a dynamical complement to generalized thermodynamics.

Reading between the lines

Editorial extensions of the paper, not claims the author makes directly.

  • The same spatial-average-and-factorize route would likely apply to other multiplicative-noise relaxational dynamics, so the cleanest extension is to test whether an independence lemma analogous to Eq. (67) survives outside the Ginzburg-Landau setting.
  • A lattice simulation of the disordered time-dependent Ginzburg-Landau equation with prescribed $P(f)$ could directly measure $K(\tau)=\langle\delta\Gamma(r)G(r,\tau)\rangle$ and check the predicted $\tau^{\mu-1}$ form, which the paper does not provide.
  • If the mapping to nonextensive thermodynamics is confirmed, fitting conformable relaxation to heat-capacity or neutron-scattering data would give a direct experimental read on the nonextensive parameter of a disordered material.

Referee Report

5 major / 5 minor

Summary. The manuscript claims to derive conformable derivative dynamics from a microscopic disordered Ginzburg-Landau model. It starts from a local kinetic coefficient Γ(r,T)=Γ0T^{1−μ}f(r), spatially averages the resulting dynamics, and argues that quenched disorder produces a power-law memory kernel K(τ)∼τ^{μ−1}. In the adiabatic limit, this kernel is then claimed to reduce to the conformable structure T^{1−μ}dψ/dT∼⟨δF/δψ⟩. The paper also relates μ to critical exponents, barrier distributions, and Tsallis nonextensivity, and presents this as a first-principles foundation for conformable calculus.

Significance. If the derivation were valid, this would be a valuable contribution: it would connect a phenomenological operator, the conformable derivative, to concrete microscopic mechanisms (quenched disorder, critical slowing down, barrier statistics) and would unify several strands of the author's prior work on deformed derivatives and nonextensive thermodynamics. The manuscript is ambitious and transparently lays out its calculation steps, including explicit formulas for the memory kernel and the effective kinetic coefficient. However, the central derivation contains internal inconsistencies that are load-bearing: the mean-field exponent is miscomputed, the two identifications of the memory-kernel exponent contradict each other, the effective kinetic coefficient Γeff diverges for the stated parameter ranges, and the final 'emergence' step postulates the deformed time-temperature relation it claims to derive. These are not presentation issues; they invalidate the paper's main claim as it stands.

major comments (5)
  1. [§III.A, Eqs. (9)–(13)] The definition μ=ν(z−2)−γ in Eq. (13), combined with the quoted mean-field values ν=1/2, z=2, γ=1 from Eq. (10), gives μ=−1, not μ=0. The text immediately below Eq. (13) classifies μ=0 as mean-field dynamics, and Eq. (11) states Γ(T)∝T for the same mean-field case, which would correspond to μ=0 under Γ(T)∝T^{1−μ}. The two statements are mutually inconsistent. Because this μ classification is used throughout the paper to interpret physical examples and to connect μ to the disorder exponent via Eq. (103), this sign error is not a typographical nuance but a load-bearing inconsistency.
  2. [§VI.F and §VI (Adiabatic Limit), Eqs. (85), (103)–(108)] The paper derives K(τ)∝τ^{α−2} from the disorder-averaging calculation in Eq. (85), with 1<α<2, and then states 'Comparing this with the main text relation K(τ)∼τ^{μ−1}, we obtain the identification μ=α−1.' However, in the self-consistency subsection, Eqs. (103) and (105) impose α=1−μ to recover K(τ)∝τ^{μ−1}. The two relations μ=α−1 and α=1−μ are compatible only for the special value μ=1/2. The claimed link between the disorder-statistics exponent and the conformable deformation exponent is therefore internally inconsistent, and the central identification K(τ)∼τ^{μ−1} is not established by the paper's own calculations.
  3. [§VI (Adiabatic Limit), Eqs. (89)–(92) and (111)] The adiabatic replacement of the convolution by Γeff(T)⟨δF/δψ(t)⟩ requires that K(τ) decay faster than the variation of ψ and that Γeff(T)=∫0∞K(τ)dτ converge. For the stated physical range μ∈(0,1], the kernel K(τ)∝τ^{μ−1} has exponent μ−1∈(−1,0], so the integral diverges logarithmically at μ=1 and as a power law for μ<1. The alternative form K(τ)∝τ^{α−2} with 1<α<2 has exponent in (−1,0) and likewise gives a divergent Γeff. Thus Γeff(T) is not defined and the local-in-time approximation in Eqs. (89) and (111) is not justified. The power-law kernel also does not satisfy the stated 'decays much faster than ψ varies' condition. This invalidates the adiabatic step that is the paper's route to the conformable equation.
  4. [§VI.A, Eq. (67)] The factorization lemma is asserted rather than derived. It requires that the macroscopic thermodynamic force ⟨δF/δψ(t−τ)⟩ be statistically independent of both δΓ(r) and G(r,τ). But the local response function defined in Eq. (73), G(r,τ)=exp(−τΓ0T^{1−μ}f(r)), is an explicit function of the same random field f(r) that defines δΓ(r) in Eq. (71). Hence δΓ(r) and G(r,τ) are strongly correlated, and the factorization ⟨δΓ(r)G(r,τ)⟨δF/δψ(t−τ)⟩⟩=⟨δΓ(r)G(r,τ)⟩⟨δF/δψ(t−τ)⟩ has no justification. Without this step, the entire memory-kernel construction in Eq. (70), and everything that follows from it, loses its derivation.
  5. [§VI, Eq. (99)] The relation dT/dt∝T^{μ−1} is introduced as a 'deformed scaling relation' without derivation from the microscopic dynamics. This postulate is exactly the ingredient needed to convert the time-evolution equation into the conformable form T^{1−μ}dψ/dT. Consequently the claimed emergence of the conformable structure is circular: the deformed time-temperature relation is assumed, not obtained from the disorder-averaging or the adiabatic limit. The paper needs either a derivation of Eq. (99) from the model or an explicit statement that this relation is an additional physical assumption.
minor comments (5)
  1. [§II, Eq. (1) vs §III, Eq. (4)] The paper introduces a coupling field g(r,T)=g0(T)(1+η(r)T^{1−μ}) and a kinetic coefficient Γ(r,T)=Γ0T^{1−μ}f(r), but never clarifies the relation between η(r) and f(r) or between the disorder correlation exponent 2μ−2 in Eq. (2) and the power-law distribution P(f)∼f^{−α} in Eq. (76). These are different disorder models that are implicitly identified through the same symbol μ.
  2. [§V.B, Eqs. (57) and (65)] The assumption ⟨δ(δF/δψ)(r,t)⟩=0 in Eq. (57) is not obviously consistent with the later representation in Eq. (65), where δ(δF/δψ)(r,t) is a convolution of G(r,τ) with the generally nonzero mean ⟨δF/δψ(t−τ)⟩; the paper should clarify whether the zero-mean condition refers to a different statistical ensemble or to a separate fluctuation component.
  3. [Throughout] The section numbering is inconsistent: both 'VI. Emergence of Memory Kernel' and 'VI. Adiabatic Limit' appear, so the adiabatic section should be renumbered, and the duplicated paragraph 'In this regime, In this regime' on page 23 should be corrected.
  4. [Table I, p. 24] The row 'Relaxation time: strongly T-dependent via T^{μ−1}' appears to have the exponent reversed relative to the paper's own kinetic coefficient T^{1−μ}; this should be fixed for consistency.
  5. [References] Several references are cited in contexts that suggest they support specific derivations, but [3], [4], [10], and [14] are standard textbooks or reviews; the paper would benefit from more specific page or equation citations. The high number of self-citations in the conformable-sections narrative also deserves a brief statement of what is new relative to [5,6,24–26].

The conformable prefactor T^{1−μ} is assumed at the start (Eq. 4) and then returned as the 'derived' operator (Eq. 102); Eq. (99) and the α=1−μ self-consistency condition impose the target exponent, so the central claim is an input rather than a prediction.

  1. self definitional [Eq. (4) / Sec. II and Eqs. (101)-(102) / Sec. VI 'Adiabatic Limit']
    "To capture this, we adopt a generalized form: Γ(r, T) = Γ0 T 1−µf (r), where the deformation exponent,µ, governs the temperature scaling andf (r) represents quenched spatial heterogeneity (encoding quenched disorder) normalized such that⟨f (r)⟩ = 1. This formulation serves as a microscopic foundation for the conformable dynamics observed at larger scales."

    The paper's target is the conformable derivative D_T^{(μ)}ψ := T^{1−μ} dψ/dT (Eq. 102). That exact prefactor T^{1−μ} is inserted by hand into the kinetic coefficient in Eq. (4) before any averaging or adiabatic step. The later 'derivation' of Γ ~ T^{1−μ} from P(E) ~ E^{−μ} uses the same symbol μ in the assumed barrier distribution, so the temperature scaling that 'emerges' is the input exponent renamed. The final deformed structure is literally the same expression that was adopted at the start.

  2. fitted input called prediction [Eqs. (98)-(102), Sec. VI 'Adiabatic Limit']
    "To model anomalous relaxation behavior near the critical point, we introduce a deformed scaling relation between time t and temperature T of the form: dT dt ∝ T µ−1, which reflects anomalous relaxation structure, memory effects, or fractal characteristics of the medium, where µ ∈ (0, 1] is a deformation parameter. ... the equation simplifies to: dψ dT ∼ 1 T 1−µ ⟨δF δψ⟩. Rewriting, we obtain the deformed structure: T 1−µ dψ dT ∼ ⟨δF δψ⟩."

    Equation (99) is not derived from the preceding dynamics; it is a postulated relation between t and T. Together with the already-assumed Γ ∝ T^{1−μ}, it is exactly the relation needed to convert the time-dependent TDGL equation into the conformable form T^{1−μ} dψ/dT. The 'simplification' to Eq. (100) is asserted, not obtained by a limit, and Eq. (100) is the desired conformable operator. Thus the conclusion is installed in the ansatz rather than predicted by the calculation.

1 more flagged steps
  1. fitted input called prediction [Eqs. (103)-(107), Sec. VI 'Self-Consistency Condition']
    "Self-Consistency Condition We started with temperature dependenceT 1−µ in Γ(r, T). The final adiabatic equation must preserve this structure: T 1−µ dψ dT ∼ ⟨δF δψ⟩. (104) For the memory effects to be consistent with the original temperature scaling, we need: α = 1 − µ. (105) Therefore, K(τ ) ∝ τ −α = τ −(1−µ) = τ µ−1. (106) To match the original temperature dependenceT 1−µ, we require: α = 1 − µ ⇒ K(τ) ∝ τ µ−1. (107)"

    This is an explicit fitting of the disorder exponent α to the target exponent μ. The paper's own disorder-statistics calculation, Eq. (85), gave K(τ) ~ τ^{α−2} with 1<α<2, and the previous comparison set μ = α−1. The 'self-consistency' condition α = 1−μ is a different relation and is incompatible with μ = α−1 except at μ=0; the step τ^{−α} = τ^{−(1−μ)} = τ^{μ−1} silently discards the τ^{α−2} result. The kernel exponent is therefore imposed by requiring the final equation to have the conformable form, not computed from independent disorder statistics.

full rationale

The central claim—that conformable dynamics T^{1−μ} dψ/dT emerge from a microscopic GL theory with disorder—reduces by construction. Eq. (4) already places the conformable prefactor T^{1−μ} in the kinetic coefficient, and Eqs. (101)-(102) return the same prefactor as the 'derived' operator. The intervening barrier-distribution argument selects P(E) ~ E^{−μ} with the same μ, so it does not independently determine the deformation parameter. The adiabatic step adds a second fitted input: Eq. (99) postulates dT/dt ∝ T^{μ−1}, which is the time-temperature relation needed to make the conformable form appear, and the 'self-consistency' condition fixes the disorder exponent α so that K(τ) ~ τ^{μ−1}. The paper also asserts the convolution ansatz, Eq. (65), and the factorization lemma, Eq. (67), rather than deriving them; these assumptions are load-bearing but are not themselves the conformable target, so they are a correctness risk rather than the main circularity. The adiabatic replacement is additionally invalid as stated: for μ ∈ (0,1] the derived kernel K(τ) ~ τ^{μ−1} has a divergent integral, so Γeff(T) = ∫ K(τ)dτ is infinite and Eq. (89)/(111) cannot define a local effective coefficient. Self-citations to the author's prior work are present but are not the source of the circularity; no uniqueness theorem is invoked. Overall score 8: the conformable prefactor and its exponent are inputs by definition, even though the spatial-averaging machinery does produce a genuine, if non-integrable, memory-kernel term.

Assumptions & free parameters 3 free parameters · 5 assumptions · 0 invented entities

No new particles, forces, or dimensions are introduced. The paper's new content is a proposed derivation route, but the route relies on several unproved or inconsistent assumptions, with mu, alpha, and q acting as de facto free parameters.

free parameters (3)
  • mu (deformation exponent) = undefined; claimed to be tied to critical exponents, disorder exponent, and Tsallis q through mutually inconsistent…
    Introduced in Eq. (1) and Eq. (4) as the temperature-scaling exponent and disorder exponent. The paper claims it is not free, but gives conflicting derivations (Eq. 13 vs Eq. 11 vs Section IV.B) and ultimately treats it as an effective label.
  • alpha (disorder distribution exponent) = set equal to 1-mu by self-consistency
    The exponent in P(f) proportional to f^(-alpha) is a free modeling choice. The paper later forces alpha = 1-mu to match the desired T^(1-mu) scaling, which is a parameter fitted to the target result.
  • q (Tsallis nonextensivity parameter) = q = 1 + 1/mu
    The Tsallis parameter is introduced to recast the barrier distribution. It is not independently measured, and the relation to mu is an identification, not a derivation.
assumptions (5)
  • ad hoc to paper The kinetic coefficient has the exact form Gamma(r,T) = Gamma0 T^(1-mu) f(r) with a single temperature exponent mu.
    Postulated in Eq. (4). The derivations from critical scaling and barrier distributions are incomplete or inconsistent, so this is an input rather than a result.
  • ad hoc to paper The disorder correlation function exponent is 2mu-2, chosen to match the temperature scaling.
    Section II.A states the exponent emerges from self-consistency but provides no calculation. The form is selected to make the conformable parameter mu appear in spatial correlations.
  • domain assumption Statistical independence of <deltaF/deltapsi(t-tau)> from deltaGamma(r) and G(r,tau) in the factorization lemma.
    Section VI (Eq. 67) uses this independence to factor the noise-response average. It is asserted without proof and is essential for the memory kernel.
  • ad hoc to paper The deformed scaling dT/dt proportional to T^(mu-1).
    Introduced in Section VI (Eq. 99) to convert time dynamics into temperature dynamics. Without this choice the algebraic path to the conformable derivative does not close.
  • domain assumption Adiabatic limit with kernel decaying much faster than psi and integrable K(tau).
    Section VI requires K(tau) to be sharply peaked near tau = 0, but the derived power-law kernel tau^(mu-1) is non-integrable for mu > 0, so the assumption is inconsistent with the model.

Conformable derivatives have attracted increasing interest for bridging classical and fractional calculus while retaining analytical tractability. However, their physical foundations remain underexplored. In this work, we provide a systematic derivation of conformable relaxation dynamics from microscopic principles. Starting from a spatially-resolved Ginzburg-Landau framework with quenched disorder and temperature-dependent kinetic coefficients, we demonstrate how spatial heterogeneity and energy barrier distributions give rise to emergent power-law memory kernels. In the adiabatic limit, these kernels reduce to a conformable temporal structure of the form T^{1-\mu}\,d\psi/dT. The deformation parameter \mu is shown to be connected to experimentally measurable properties such as transport coefficients, disorder statistics, and relaxation time spectra. This formulation also reveals a natural link with nonextensive thermodynamics and Tsallis entropy. By unifying memory effects, anomalous relaxation, and spatial correlations under a coherent physical mechanism, our framework transforms conformable derivatives from heuristic tools into physically grounded operators suitable for modeling complex critical dynamics.
