Gavin:
Everything is some control of energy in a living organism. There is nothing else.
If it was not then E=mc2 is nonsense. Tells us all matter is a form of energy.
AM: I’ve heard of similar interpretations of the E=mc2, but I’ve also heard of different ones (from mainstream physics).
If we just equate matter with energy, then there are no ways of distinguishing them. If matter is
energy, we could say everything is matter. Then, how would we name the potential for moving?
Similarly - if everything is energy, how do we name matter?
The equation just shows how quantities of energy or mass can be calculated, not that they are “the same”.
If we look at F = m*a, that does not mean that force is mass, or is acceleration.

PCT is not a predication tool. Because we dont
know exactly what each and every individual controls for.
Predication is all good under linear equilibrium
situations. Like F=ma, E=mc2, E=hf, E=mgh.
But non equilibrium situations is a big
problem, its a major problem facing all of science.
Why do you write “predicAtion”?
And I kinda disagree. There would be no use for PCT if it couldn’t predict anything. You can always predict
that a control system will work toward it’s goal and if you know the goal - you know what will happen. You might
not be able to predict exactly how someone will come to the goal, but just knowing that is also useful - you
know it might be random or creative.
If you study the tracking experiments, you’ll see that tracking in a new situation could be predicted with a 99% accuracy.
