This is testable. If dominant influence reverses across contexts and relations form cycles, control is heterarchical. If they fall into one ranking and context only changes their strength, control is hierarchical. Experiments designed for this are now needed. /end

So instead of a fast system supervised by a slow one, we propose a spectrum of control: how far a response can depend on memory, internal state and anticipated consequences, not just the stimulus. Urgency, weighed against the organism's needs, sets the position.
