The Source of Disturbance Matters: External, Internal, and Control-Generated Noise in Adaptive Regulation

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 22, 2026 · UTC

Adaptive regulation can itself perturb the state it is intended to stabilize. In replicated simulations of an adaptive agent, we compare external disturbance, persistent internally generated disturbance, and control-generated disturbance under regulation-first and disturbance-first ordering. Persistent internal disturbance produces the largest exposure and regulatory burden within the tested parameter grid. When positive controller updates generate an immediate disturbance cost, increasing that cost produces a nonmonotonic response: effective disturbance initially rises, variability across sto
