- Feedback (balance) - The body senses the perturbation and reacts via using the appropriate synergy (that is, trying to stay balanced after being pushed)
- Feedforward (anticipation) - anticipating of future perturbations. There are three ways to maintain balance: magnitude (of the lean), timing and direction

Famous quotes containing the words control and/or approaches:
“Above and beyond paying attention to feelings before and after a separation, never threaten your child with leaving or loss of love in an effort to control her behavior. Children believe their parents’ assertions that “I will send you away,” “I won’t love you any more,” “I’ll go away,” and are terrified with good reason. Fear is a very poor way of disciplining a child, and it can cause severe lifelong anxiety.”
—Alicia F. Lieberman (20th century)
“These were not men, they were battlefields. And over them, like the sky, arched their sense of harmony, their sense of beauty and rest against which their misery and their struggles were an offence, to which their misery and their struggles were the only approaches they could make, of which their misery and their struggles were an integral part.”
—Rebecca West (1892–1983)
