Simulation based on Control Theory: A model of Organisms System Dynamics Review article. Control systems act to make their own input match internal standards or reference signals. See also a double loop learning simulation insight
Double loop learning simulation using a hierarchy of an action and intent system based on Perceptual Control Theory. The action system described in a Control Theory insight now has an added intent system which changes the internal reference signal for the action system.

Book (large pdf) by Alicia Juarrero subtitled intentional
behavior as a complex system. Behaviour is action and change in the world,
consisting of the external, mental and social world. Human action is
intentional, meaningful and hopefully effective.
Behaviours can be:
Reactive: sense and respond
Adaptive: anticipate and learn
Generative: innovate and transform.
Which models help produce effective action?

Based on 1990 SDR Article. Control systems act to make their own input match internal standards or reference signals. Competent control systems create illusions of stimulus response causality. Stimulus-response theory can approximate the relationship between disturbance and action, but it can't predict the consequences of behavior. These consequences are maintained despite disturbances.
