Abstract
Many control systems can be and have been set up with almost no reliance upon the mathematical theory of control. Many more have been based upon a notion of how the mathematics might turn out but with no explicit reliance upon that tool. This is true even leaving aside the PLCs devoted simply to turning on and off the various machines involved.
