Dear Bruce,
thank you for your answer.
... There is solid research only for the first type,
some strongly
suggestive results for the second type, and only the beginning of
discussion of the third type.
Ahh - ok - I understand ... this means the systems you are thinking about
are mainly internal controlled.

What do you mean by a situation which is single valued and closed?
With single valued and closed I am refering to a transformation model
created by Ross Ashby centuries ago.
single valued means - every Operator (starting value) is transformed in
exactly one transform (end value)
closed means - during the Transformation there is no new element (setpoint)
added or taken away.
What is a transformation model? How does it relate to
negative feedback
control according to autonomously set reference values?
If my impression of your model is right, the relation between Ashby?s
transformation model and the negative feedback control system is, that
Ashby?s modell is interesting only for the part of your model where the
system tries to correct the error. The Operator would be the starting value
which has an error. This Error should be corrected through the
transformation from the starting value (whith error) to the end value
(without error).
For me there seems to be two ways to perform this transformation from
starting value to end value. Either it is clear how to perform a specific
transformation, then the system uses this "trivial" input-output
intervention to reach the aimed end value. Or it is not clear, then the
system has to work with smal steps to the aimed end value.
My questione for this transformation is the following: How can a system know
if it should use a "trivial" way or not when it assesses the situation?
Which criteria can a system use to know if a "trivial" transformation works
or not?
I hope the question is now more clear AND I still hope for an answer.
Thank you in advance.

When you ask about "assumptions of the situation" are you referring to
properties of the control system? Or are you referring to
properties of the
environment of the control system through which its negative feedback
control loop is (or loops are) closed?/Bruce Nevin
