Key Points

Formulate and evaluate the Universal Balance–Feedback Framework (UBFF) to achieve minimal state-space regulation of power and particle balance in magnetically confined fusion plasma.
Derived a minimal state-space model for zero-dimensional plasma power and particle balance to eliminate algebraic rank deficiency.
Formulated a UBFF cost functional targeting the Fusion Balance Index and its time derivative using Algebraic Riccati Equation synthesis.
Established a comparative simulation benchmark against PID, Linear-Quadratic Regulator, and Model Predictive Control baselines under ITER-scale parameters.
Yielded an explicit Algebraic Riccati Equation formulation that mathematically separates UBFF state feedback from standard Linear-Quadratic Regulator architectures.
Established quantitative validation and falsification criteria across matched disturbance scenarios to evaluate UBFF as a distinct control synthesis method.
