Spoke with a control theorist earlier who indicated that control is not possible without models + goals (i.e. objective functions). What’s the right formalism for thinking about control outside of an optimization based framework that doesn’t constrain the space of possibilities?

Have you ever explored Powers' hierarchical perceptual control theory? It offers a solid control perspective on how living organisms work.
