The realization of net-gain proton-boron ( p- 11 B ) fusion requires maintaining a non-equilibrium state where ion temperatures are decoupled from electron temperatures ( T i > > T e ). This paper introduces a novel control framework for the Stochastic-Adaptive Spheromak Reactor (SASR-20), utilizing a "Magnetic Ram Pump" mechanism to achieve this decoupling. By treating the magnetic topology as a high-inertia inductive machine, we apply phasor-based stability logic - originally utilized for power system oscillators - to synchronize stochastic magnetic reconnection events. Using the Langevin-Kramers formalism and Wirtinger calculus, we derive a complex error function (CEF) that locks the external stochastic resonance drive to the plasma's natural Alfvénic phase. Numerical simulations verify that this "Hard-Lock" regime results in a 9.05-fold increase in reconnection heating efficiency compared to standard scalar control. The results demonstrate that the p- 11 B fuel cycle can be stabilized as a deterministic limit-cycle attractor, providing a robust engineering solution to the Bremsstrahlung radiation barrier and a pathway to utility-scale aneutronic power plants.
