Mindfulness or Mindlessness?

[Neo-Scholastic]

Model based control is the function of mind.
Model based control is the value of mind.

AST would then go on to explain model based control in theory and in practice.  Demonstrate model based control, and the advantages of model based control - and then make predictions about systems using model based control.  

Valualism, you say, provides no further elaboration?  Offers no explanation, provides no further avenue for questions, and makes no predictions?

Maybe you can help me better understand what you are saying. I am getting hung-up on what I see as tacit assumptions of intentionality in your statements. I kinda want to know things like...model based control of or about what?...and model based control to what end? You seem to have buried normative judgements into the concept of model based control by considering it "advantageous".
