This paper outlines a dynamical understanding of a magnetic confinement system away from thermodynamic equilibrium and conceptualizes the design of a general control system based on a Dynamical Model of Maxwell's Demon (DMMD) – a contemporary version of Maxwell's Demon. Recurrence dynamics of the ELMy H‐state has been found to be structured by unstable periodic orbits. A period‐one orbit is described in detail, and different schemes to stabilize orbits are outlined. These observations form the basis of a particular version of the DMMD.
