Applied Beer's Viable System Model to create a five-level autonomic control hierarchy.
Studied the self-regulation properties of fill pressure, membrane integrity, and network topology.
Established a governing control framework facilitating self-healing and self-strengthening infrastructures.
Enabled operation of repair and construction agents under the defined control hierarchy.
Illustrated neuroplasticity in network management across various infrastructure scales.

Abstract

This paper presents the cybernetic control architecture for the Adaptive Matrix Ecosystem (AME), a biomimetic water infrastructure platform built on Pressure Differential Architecture (PDA) and Natural Rubber Latex (NRL) cellular membranes. Drawing on Beer's Viable System Model (VSM), it formalises a five-level autonomic control hierarchy that enables distributed self-regulation of fill pressure, membrane integrity, and network topology across arbitrary infrastructure scales. The architecture provides the governing control framework for the AME Autonomy Tetralogy: repair agents (Infrastructure That Heals), construction agents (Infrastructure That Strengthens), and network neuroplasticity (Infrastructure That Learns) all operate under the VSM control hierarchy defined here. Prior collections: Physics Trilogy (Papers 1–3) and Education Pentalogy (Papers 5A–5E), both available on Zenodo. This paper is part of the AME Hexalogy, the third collection in the AME research series by J.O. Danenberg, Aveotto LLC. Prior collections: AME Physics Trilogy (Papers 1–3, January 2026) and AME Education Pentalogy (Papers 5A–5E, February 2026), both available on Zenodo under ORCID 0009-0003-9549-2107. The Hexalogy comprises the AME Autonomy Tetralogy (Infrastructure That Feels, Heals, Strengthens, and Learns) and the AME Ethics/Construction Duology (Infrastructure That Judges and Fortifies).
