We establish a correspondence between anomaly detection in high-noise regimes and the renormalization group flow of non-equilibrium field theories. We provide a physical grounding for this framework by proving that the detection of phase transitions in interacting non-equilibrium systems maps to the study of an effective equilibrium field theory near its Gaussian fixed point, which we identify with the universal Marchenko-Pastur distribution. Applying the Functional Renormalization Group to the two-dimensional Model A, we demonstrate that the noise-to-signal ratio acts as a physical temperature, where the signal emerges as ordered domains within a thermalized background of fluctuations. Using the exact Onsager solution as a benchmark, we show that this approach identifies critical thresholds with an error below 4%, significantly outperforming standard information-theoretic metrics such as the Kullback-Leibler divergence. Our results provide a universal strategy for resolving structures in complex datasets near criticality, bridging the gap between statistical mechanics and statistical inference.
