A regulator that achieves effective control; defined implicitly by the theorem as one that is a model of the system.

Entity that acts on a system to steer it towards a desired state; central to the theorem.

Every good regulator of a system must be a model of that system.
about
The central mathematical theorem proved/expounded in the chapter.

cosine ≥ 0.65 · no typed edge

Entities in the same semantic neighborhood but without a typed relation to this one — candidates for new edges or unrecognized duplicates.
