Current review story

The review is framed around this chain:

  1. The solar corona is magnetically structured, but its 3D magnetic field is hard to measure directly.
  2. Photospheric vector magnetograms provide lower-boundary data.
  3. Potential-field and NLFFF extrapolations are classical modelling approaches.
  4. Traditional NLFFF remains hard because of noisy/non-force-free boundary data and nonlinear constraints.
  5. NF2/PINN methods can be framed as neural optimisers for the same physics-constrained inverse problem.
  6. The method should be judged by physical diagnostics, not just visual plausibility.
