Are you talking about the concept, current in contemporary
complexity theory, of anticipatory feedforward?
For a reference: "The semiotic binding process... uses a group
of alphabets... in a break and ignore... phase locked loop... to create
this strange attractor of anticipation... if only to shatter the present
to get to the future... "
