Question

Is the interactive 3D model a real machine?

It is a physics-grounded design instrument, not a mirror of operating hardware — and it says so.

Is the interactive 3D model a real machine?

The model is a schematic, physics-grounded design tool: a rotatable reactor, an in-browser solver, and the full frozen design point (breeder Q = 3.076, burner QE = 1.31). It is stage one of a model → shadow → digital-twin progression — a design instrument, not a live twin of a machine that does not yet exist (construction of the HYPERION breeder is scheduled to begin in Q2 2027).

Kronos labels it as schematic rather than letting its polish imply as-built hardware.
