Order Is Not Control
A new research paper argues that "order" in AI systems is not equivalent to "control." The authors propose a "receiver-gated response law" as a necessary condition for control, identifying it across biological systems, LLMs, and other operators. Their findings suggest that while local control and measurable stochastic response operators are supported, concepts like pre-generation control and biological-to-LLM coordinate identity remain outside the current scope of understanding.

IMPACT Challenges current understanding of AI control, suggesting a need for new frameworks beyond simple order-based metrics.
