Interesting. Are you characterizing Kalman filters mostly as systems of control/refinement on top of alpha-beta filters? I do feel like the core of it is essentially exponential/logarithmic growth/decay, with the option to la

Thanks for the recommendation! It would never have occurred to me to look at robotics, but I can understand why that's very relevant. I read Feedback Control for Computer Systems not too long ago, which felt like yet another restatem
