I think the link is broken.

Have you ever heard of perceptual control theory? It posits that we act to determine our perception, keeping things within limits. This could be used to explain why people don't mention having the right whelm, only noticing when approaches the limits.

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.

This approach resonates with Perceptual Control Theory(PCT),which also seeks to understand the dynamic nature of human systems and the importance of feedback loops. PCT rejects simple cause-effect thinking and instead views human behavior as shaped by ongoing interactions with the environment. (4/6)
