I'm always curious about delving deeper into the history of control theory. Specifically, the work pertaining to Cybernetics in the late 40s/50s. Has anyone gone down that rabbit hole and found anything interesting?
- PID theory, especially pole analysis
- linear quadratic regulator
- digital filter design
- the Hebbian rule of neurons
- distributed consensus: paxos, RAFT protocol, blockchain protocol
- STAR voting
- pretty much everything deep learning, in particular descent algos like Adaboost
- Conflict-free replicated data type (those are neat!)
- Lorenz attractors
- type theory
- category theory
