Feedback loops are the process with which we can update someone's mental models and intuition. Both game design and Perceptual Control Theory discuss this in the context of behavior in similar ways.

Perceptual Control Theory (PCT) models behaviour as a means of controlling perception rather than stimulus responses, offering a powerful framework for understanding self-regulation. Focusing on maintaining desired perceptions, PCT allows nuanced insights into motivation, conflict, and adaptability.

The conference has been all the better for Tom Cochrane’s contribution, adding philosophical analysis to our pot pouri of academic disciplines!
