• Feedback
  • Powers' control-of-perception framework addresses this by modeling organisms as controlling for internally-specified reference values

    This sourceIntroduces perceptual control theory, modeling organisms as controlling perceptions toward internally-generated reference signals.

• Ultra-Stability (Ashby's Concept)
  • In neuroscience, ultra-stability appears in motor control: the nervous system does not command muscles to fixed positions but rather maintains flexibility and adjusts to perturbations (joint stiffness, payload changes, muscle fatigue) through multi-level feedback

    This sourceApplies ultra-stability concepts to behavior and perception; introduces control-of-perception framework. Powers 1973 Behavior Control Perception ultra-stability regulation.

Verification

Does it exist? Not checked yet. This entry carries no identifier to resolve. It was extracted from the citation as written in the article, normalized, and deduplicated against the rest of the registry.

Does it back the claim? Not recorded. Neither this nor any other of the 2 citations of this work carries a recorded support check.

Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
