Is it possible that we misunderstand political control after all these years? Existential citizenship as necessary for meaningful political engagement http://bit.ly/2uEa9I8

Didn’t say that. Much of smart politics is already smart controls theory. They just don’t need us to tell them that. A case of teaching birds to fly. You catching a ball is a simple ball_elevation_angle —> running_speed loop. But you don’t need control engineers to teach that

If you want to uncover control loops, relevant structures will be obvious, but meanings won’t be. For eg, gerrymandering = politicians choosing voters rather than other way around, disconnecting voting as feedback loop. Mesquita analyzes that the way a control theorist would.

Also, thanks again. This has already been quite helpful. I am just putting together my ideas now and trying different things out.
