Control, Regulation & Stability¶
Primes about closed-loop regulation that holds systems stable: feedback, homeostasis, and ultra-stability, requisite variety and the good-regulator constraint, controllability and state transitions, plus fail-safe design, resilience, conservation laws, and self-limiting logistic growth.
14 primes in this family — primes that sit near one another in abstraction space (k-means over structural-signature embeddings). Each is shown with its structural–framed character and how distinctive (sparsely-neighbored) it is.
