This site is build in wordpress by Eva de Hullu and Matias Salgado. The purpose of the site is to provide a web portal for knowledge about Perceptual Control Theory (PCT) to those new to the theory and those familiar with its history. The site will also present information on the International Association for Perceptual Control Theory and its events.
The site currently hosts a limited amount of information mined from other sites, such as https://livingcontrolsystems.com/ and http://pctweb.org/. We intend to increase the volume of papers over time and provide a place to keep important information and make it easily accessible.
This website is under development, and in its early phase will contain some dead links and outdated information. We think it is due time however, to replace the old iapct site with this new site. If anyone wants to help update and expand the information here, please contact us. If you want your information on pct to find a home here, we can provide you with the instructions to take care of that.
If you’d like to add a single thing to the site (e.g. a website, a book) please prepare the materials according to the list below. If you want to add more or correct mistakes, please contact us.
If you want to contribute a single page/paper/post and need some help getting it on our site, please prepare them according to the short list below and then send your materials to Matias or Eva through e-mail. Please take into consideration that we're all volunteering and make this as easy for us as possible.
