I wasn't really sure where to even begin a search, but I was wondering if there was a more pragmatic version of control theory. Something like Goldratt's Theory of Constraints; balancing limited resources in a dynamic environment for maximum returns.

I know there's Optimal Control Theory, but it's more focused on deeper abstract logic and mathematics than wht I could apply to my life in business or wherever. Musk's "algorithm" is kind of what I'm looking for. Building feedback loops, etc. There's also lean manufacturing, which is great, but surprisingly doesn't talk much about maximizing returns or even TOC.
