Two 3D cubes comparing statistical software and physics-based software approaches to sand prediction

Two fundamentally different approaches to green sand prediction. One pattern-matches against your historical data, fragile by design, accurate only while conditions hold. The other applies conservation of mass and thermodynamic equilibrium, accurate when conditions change. Methodology is not a feature. It is the foundation.
