 @edc128e6 Ugh. Not only is it word theater, it tramples on existing definitions.

Feedforward is already a thing in control theory, the place the term "feedback" comes from. A 'feedforward loop' is predicting how the system should behaved based upon an idealized model of it and outputting the relevant commands to get the desired result assuming the system matches the idealized model.

... in other words, extrapolated, it's either planning or micromanagement.
