contents The low-temperature metallic phase of 1T-TaS2 may originate from current- and voltage-driven destabilization of the commensurate charge density wave (CDW) in a strongly correlated Mott insulator, alongside the robust yet rarely realized influence of intrinsic electronic distortions. Electrical pulse-driven transport, combined with second harmonic response, reveals abrupt switching, negative differential resistance (NDR), and multiscale domain-wall reorganization. The free energy analysis identifies a critical order parameter threshold for the Mott-metal transition, with scaling exponents (β approx 1.3) consistent with 2D percolation. The sparse limit fractal dimension D_{f} approx 0.3 at 10 K, rising to approx 0.9 at 300 K, reflects the hierarchical evolution of the conductive pathways throughout the temperature. These findings establish a direct connection between fractal percolation, pulse-induced instabilities, and correlated electron transport, offering a framework for controlled access to non-equilibrium phase transitions in low-dimensional quantum materials.
