Principia Cybernetica Web

Other Definitions of Control

There are different alternative definitions of control to the one we are proposing in the Principia Cybernetica Web, including a definition in terms of a feedback with two inputs and amplification and a definition in terms of statements and commands. These definitions are either equivalent to our definition or can be seen as special cases of it.
