Literary notes about Feedback (AI summary)
In literature, "feedback" is portrayed as a versatile concept that traverses systems theory, human emotion, and social interaction. In some texts, it functions as a technical mechanism—regulating system performance, balancing error signals, and driving cycles of response, as seen in its role in influencing sigmoidal curves for equilibrium formation [1] or its description as a visible part of a broader control circuit [2]. In other narratives, feedback takes on a more human dimension; it can be an emotionally charged force that shatters inhibitions or underscores the intimate interplay between response and behavior [3][4]. Additionally, the term is employed in contexts of evaluation and correction, whether detailing the rapid, immediate reactions from a machine or the measured, reflective responses in interpersonal communication [5][6]. This multi-layered usage underscores literature’s capacity to harness "feedback" as both a literal and metaphorical bridge between action, reaction, and transformative change [7][8].
- The impact of this feedback has been assumed to cause the point of inflection of the "sigmoid curve" and to regulate the density "at equilibrium."
— from Conservation of marine birds of northern North America:papers from the international symposium held at the Seattle Hyatt House - Feedback loops are the visible part of the broader system, but not its essential part.
— from The Civilization of Illiteracy by Mihai Nadin - A concentrated dose of his own feedback simply shattered the dam.
— from Human Error by Raymond F. Jones - I was fighting against the emotional feedback the errors were throwing at me."
— from Human Error by Raymond F. Jones - "My development involves an infinitely selective feedback.
— from The Creature Inside by Jack Sharkey - Their yearly evaluation by the students—nearly all the student feedback for them, and the course they directed, were really bad.
— from Wild Justice by Ruth M. Sprague - The result was a hunting effect in increasingly large amplitude, like the needle of an autosyn indicator with undamped positive feedback.
— from Human Error by Raymond F. Jones - The key is moderation and balance, supported by sufficient information to allow meaningful feedback.
— from The Online World by Odd De Presno
