Discussions about our professional organization, the International Association for Perceptual Control Theory (IAPCT).

This category is for discussions of PCT fundamentals.

The Phenomena category is for discussion of examples of behavior. What we call behavior is a process of control. Control is an objective phenomenon that is seen when variable aspects of the world — controlled variables or CVs — are maintained in fixed or variable reference states, protected from the effects of disturbances. PCT explains this process as the control of perceptions that are analogs of the CVs.

This category is for discussion of learning, teaching, or promoting PCT.

This category is for discussion of Practical Applications of PCT.
