A control organized at succesive meta-levels.
This type of control is proper to hierarchical systems. J.P.van GIGCH explains: “In each control system, control exercised by the controller (CR) is called control at the object level, whereas control exercised by the metacontroller (Template:Ency entity) is called control at the metalevel or metacontrol. The same denomination applies to subsequent levels of recursion” (1986, p.90).
