Ryota Kanai published 'A Control-Theoretic Formulation of Global Workspace Theory' on arXiv, proposing the Global Mediation Workspace (GMW) framework. The research treats the global workspace as an open system mediator, using control-theoretic concepts like reachability, observability, and boundary Hankel operators to quantify mediation capacity and alignment. The paper validates the approach on synthetic benchmarks to distinguish mediators from dense hubs and includes nonlinear extensions.
