Good summary. Key related variables appear to be as follows:
Plasma density
Magnetic field containment
As plasma density gets higher, the magnetic field containment appears to become more challenging. Improve the tech in #2 to allow higher #1 and smaller size to get similar output, OR daisy-chain a bunch together to get the target powerplant output level (or scale up at same plasma density to get output). Not entirely different concept from natgas turbine daisy-chained to get a specific overall powerplant output using multiple units.
So "Norm" the current Configuration, is about half the size of Norman, the previous configuration.
The Next configuration will be called Copernicus.
A number of fairly simple equations describe the magnetic field and Plasma envelope.
Several numerically modeled projections based upon validated empirical measure btw are presented.

Compared to fission reactor, it is supposed to be 4x more output with smaller footprint according to Promethean Action: https://rumble.com/v739vxa-trumps-fusion-gamble-the-move-that-terrifies-globalists.html
They can also daisy chain SMRs together to get target output, but Boron and Helium are much more abundant than enriched Uranium.
