feedback system
Output-adjusting input mechanism
A feedback system is any arrangement where outputs are routed back as inputs, allowing the system to regulate or adjust itself.
A thermostat is a classic example—temperature readings feed back to control heating.
In audio, feedback occurs when a microphone picks up its own amplified sound, creating that familiar squeal.
The concept applies broadly: The body's hormonal feedback system maintains equilibrium.
