[edit]
These three rather different terms are uncomfortable together in one article. They're too long to be different senses in a dictionary definition (where controlled variable would be a "see also"), and too short to be standalone articles.
- The experimental sense is covered in Dependent_and_independent_variables#Other_variables.
- The programming sense is covered in Control_flow and in various articles on computer programming and programming languages.
- The control-theory sense is covered in Control theory and Perceptual control theory.
I have brought out the relationship of these three terms, but I don't know if we can find an independent RS doing that. The article probably should be deleted.
