What It's About Conflict occurs when two control systems, in an effort to control their own perceptions, end up acting to prevent each other from controlling their perceptions.
Conflict is something that only happens to control systems.
This tracking task shows what happens when two of your lower level control systems get into a conflict with each other. What happens is that you lose control of the higher level perception that is controlled by means of these lower level systems. In this demonstration, the higher level perception is the two-dimensional position of the cursor. After a few seconds, however, the systems controlling X and Y cursor position are put into conflict with each other. When the X position cursor controller acts to compensate for disturbances in the X dimension it disturbs the cursor in the Y dimension.
