From my understanding I’m happy to talk just in terms of set points if that helps avoid confusion. Things like predictions, goals, intentions, learning, etc. seem to me like ways of talking about control systems with set points and possible set point update mechanisms that function in particular ways that we identify with those things. My original use of “prediction” seems to be confusing to many so I guess I should just stick to “set point” or make more clear what “prediction” means here since I assume (although can’t remember) that I picked up using “prediction” to mean “set point” from the relevant literature.
