| p:abstract
| - The Good Regulator is a theorem due to Roger C. Conant and W. Ross Ashby that is central to cybernetics. It is stated "Every Good Regulator of a system must be a model of that system".
Any regulator that is maximally successful and simple must be isomorphic with the system being regulated. This makes a model necessary. With regard to the brain, insofar as it is successful and efficient as a regulator for survival, it must proceed, in learning, by the formation of a model (or models) of its environment .
The theorem is general enough to apply to all regulating and self-regulating or homeostatic systems. (en)
