Changing the balancing loop's set point is helpful if you want to
establish a new set point. In addition, I see some other things you can
do with a balancing loop:
- interrupt it by changing some of the cause/effect links.
- overload it so that it can't balance itself any more.
- add reinforcing feedback.
