Real-time divertor and first-wall thermal and erosion prediction.
The AI-Native S.M.A.R.T. Generator Master Blueprint — eight layers (L0→L7), one control stack, wired to both machines. Telemetry rises in microseconds; control descends the same path.

What it is
A model that predicts plasma-facing-component heat flux and erosion in real time, so the wall's remaining life is a live number and strike-point control has a physical target.
The method
A surrogate of the scrape-off-layer heat transport and sputtering-erosion physics, fed by infrared and Langmuir diagnostics.
Why it matters
The divertor is a lifetime-limiting component; real-time erosion turns wall management from inspection into control. Plugs into L3.
