J'avoue, j'ai ri en lisant ce titre : Christianity and Control Theory
Heureusement, le disclaimer annonce la couleur :
If you do not understand Christianity, or if you do not understand control theory, then you may not understand this essay; it may just appear to be nonsense.
Ensuite, ça vole haut :
Noise suppression in control theory is similar to forgiveness. (...) A control system that is designed to perform well in the presence of noise is like a Christian who acknowledges the presence of sin in the world but does not allow it to ruin him. Just as the Christian deals with that sin in a constructive and active way, the control system is designed to minimize the effects of noise.
(...)
The band limited frequency response of a control system is similar to spiritual discernment.
(...)
Optimality in control theory is similar to perfection in Christianity. (...) The optimal controller churns away in its quest for optimality, never quite attaining it, yet continually getting closer and never giving up. In a similar manner, the Christian churns away in his quest for perfection, never quite attaining it, yet continually getting closer and never giving up.
