The document discusses the field of control and dynamical systems (CDS) and its goal of understanding universal laws and architectures across diverse applications and mathematics. CDS aims to provide a "core" interface between domain experts and diverse tools/mathematics, and between mathematics and diverse application drivers. It explores architectural concepts like constraints that deconstrain and universal organizational strategies to flexibly achieve performance. The document also compares CDS to other fields like complexity science and envisions CDS one day achieving deep, universal impact across applications, mathematics and practical problems.
