  "abstract": "Strange metals pair a resistivity linear in temperature with a specific heat $C/T$ rising logarithmically on cooling. We find that, if electrons scatter off a local critical bath, the coupling cancels in the ratio $Q$ of their coefficients, leaving two measurable numbers: how slowly the bath relaxes, seen in photoemission or optics, and the share of critical entropy that relaxes current. Baths form classes: $Q\\le4.91$ for a conformal bath, as SYK models confirm; 9--15 for the Yukawa--SYK field; and far less for Kondo lattices. LSCO, at $Q\\approx9$, exceeds the conformal bound, pointing to the Yukawa--SYK field.",
