> Maybe this is off-topic, but I am looking for ANY book recommendations (or websites) on  the topic of FEEDBACK  
( could be anything from video feedback to neural networks to guitar feedback to servos to a book on FM  oscillators)

Great thread and since I've been meaning to ask about this as well - I thought this question might be relevant. Hope you don't mind Dan.

Can anyone comment on the main qualities affecting 'musical' (or, I guess, in the case of video - 'artistic') feedback?

Is it...

a) The time delay - e.g. the time it takes a signal to get from the speakers of my amp and back into my guitar pickups
b) The change in the shape of the waveform e.g. small inaccuracies that start to stack up infinitely
c) Other...

BTW...

Did you know that the 'B' in Benoit B. Mandelbrot stands for 'Benoit B. Mandelbrot'? ;)
