Control Loop

A '''control loop''' (often a cognitive [[Feedback|feedback]] loop) consists 
of a perception phase, where the state of the
managed element is observed, monitored and analyzed, and
and a corresponding action phase, where the managed element
is controlled through corrective action which is planned and 
executed.
