Jovanovic, Vladisav: From Oversight Theater to Answerable Control: Structural Intelligence and Shared Answerability in Cybernetic Systems

This paper argues that cybernetic and AI-enabled systems require a stronger evaluative standard than stability, optimization, or procedural oversight. As feedback and control architectures increasingly govern human environments, systems can remain coherent and apparently well-regulated while becoming less revisable under consequence. The paper uses Structural Intelligence to distinguish coherent control from answerable control and argues that the relevant failure is not only technical error but
