Allostatic Control Systems: Goal Governance in Changing Environments
A systems-and-control preprint on goal governance: a fast loop regulates under the current reference while a slow loop decides whether that reference should move, tested in a preregistered synthetic experiment that produced a negative result.
Lineage: W. Ross Ashby's ultrastability, physiological allostasis, bio-inspired allostatic control, adaptive control, supervisory control, reference governors, model predictive control.
