Most of the confusion I have read about the Good Regulator theorem seems to be about what it means to be a good model which is related to the map/​territory distinction. What does it mean to have a map/​model?
For the interested here are some missing links:
The imminent paper by Conant and Ashby: Every good regulator of a system must be a model of that system
The theorem is also discussed on LW: Fixing The Good Regulator Theorem
I also found these Notes on The Good Regulator Theorem insightful.
