It holds up pretty well, mostly because it is so general. It is ingrained in a lot of things, and its basically just another restatement of the classic control loop - something that used from rockets to therapy. There isnt that much remaining of colonel Boyds work besides some old presentations, but it is very much grounded in cybernetics and systems theory.
- mmooss 2y agoGood points about the control loop. Is there a fundamental abstraction of it that generally applies - a 1st law of control loops, so to speak?
- p_v_doom 2y agoIDK, Ashby's Law of requisite variety comes to mind. In order for something to control/cope with something else it needs to have the capacity to do so. It seems super trivial when stated like that, but actually has profoundly deep implications.
