Cybernetic Recursion and Adaptation Dynamics
Read the explanation
In cybernetic feedback, an adaptive agent continuously measures its error vector against an unstable, drifting environmental target. The effective feedback gain scales with learning flexibility, steering velocity toward zero distance while coherence remains above ninety-four percent. When rigidity exceeds zero point six five, adaptation breaks. The loop status decouples into an AI winter rule trap as drift widens. Selecting the deep adaptation preset or clicking re-center restores low rigidity, immediately snapping the compensation vector back into equilibrium.
