Models

This section compares existing wildfire-modeling traditions with the simpler generative models proposed here, asking what kinds of models are capable of reproducing the forms and growth signatures the project cares about.

What this section is for

Models are where the scientific argument becomes comparative. This section keeps both inheritance and departure in view: what existing model families already do well, what they may miss at event scale, and what a geometry-first generative model might add.

Start with these pages

• Fire Modeling Frameworks for the broader landscape of existing approaches.
• Generative Models for the project's constructive modeling direction.
• Benchmarking Existing Fire Models for the comparison logic that links theory and evaluation.
