Infrastructure That Feels: Viable System Model Control Architecture for Autonomous Water-Filled Cellular Adaptive Infrastructure

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…
