Reality check. There
have been many names for PCT on the way to a hard-won
consensus even before there was a CSG,
as many members of this forum will
recall.
Will a new name make PCT clearer and easier to understand? As a
practical
matter before changing it again, shouldn't we consider the
millions of
pages about perceptual control theory now in print
around the globe, and
the consequences at this late date of calling
it something else? Will it
take 60 years for the "New"
theory to establish a platform...again?
There's an interesting chart
on Warren Mansell's web that shows pretty
much how long it takes.
Cheers!

Thanks, Dag. The article is excellent, and the link is a treasure trove.

Bill spent quite a bit of effort on this business on what to call the phenomenon.
