I out of thin air answer but if you looking for a frame work that can make sense tempture is simply a measurement of the energy level of atoms in an area

In general a gas > liquid > solid are different levels of energy you can intact with a key thing is how many atoms are in an area as temperature increases the density drops leaving fewee atoms in an area now if you apply 100 heat units. The gas density is 30 atoms in the area, liquid is 100 atoms and solid is 200 atoms.

The gas temp would go up roughly 3 heat units the liquid 1 and the solid.5.

This breaks down the temperature difference but have to hit the I believe for how you get this to happen sadly. One day we’ll figure it out.
