Claim 13:
14. A computer-implemented method, the method comprising:
accessing, at a material processing engine implemented using one or more computer processors, causal graph input data from one or more hardware storage devices, the causal graph input data comprising input materials associated with a continuous flow process;
based on the causal graph input data, generating a causal graph associated with causal relationships corresponding to the input materials of the continuous flow process;
based on the causal graph, generating an optimal control configuration comprising an optimal control variable value associated with an optimization target of the continuous flow process,
wherein the optimal control configuration comprises a first control variable value and a second control variable value, wherein the first control variable value and the second control variable value are associated with corresponding machine learning models that have learned a quadratic causal impact on the optimization target; and
controlling the continuous flow process in accordance with the optimal control configuration.
