Control: the regulatory capacity to ensure desired outcomes
Control: the regulatory capacity to ensure desired outcomes are achieved through systems you trust to operate without constant oversight, where true control is demonstrated by the ability to maintain outcomes even in your absence rather than by direct, hands-on management
Why This Is a Definition
This definition clearly establishes what 'control' means in the context of the curriculum by identifying its genus (regulatory capacity) and differentia (ensuring desired outcomes through trusted systems without constant oversight). It distinguishes true control from the illusion of control and emphasizes the key principle that control is measured by system resilience to absence rather than by direct involvement.
