Plant Model

constructadapted
ClaimA plant model is a dynamical model of how the human's psychophysiological state responds to inputs over time -- what control engineers call the 'plant' (the system being regulated).
This claim fails if
If human psychophysiological dynamics are shown to be fundamentally non-modelable (chaotic beyond any useful approximation at any timescale), the construct is inapplicable.

Delta from academic usage

Applied to an individual human's neuromodulatory dynamics rather than industrial processes. The central scientific obstacle: this model does not yet exist at the resolution the architecture requires. This is open problem 5.1 in the research program.
