video link: [https://youtu.be/Dm68uFy6gus?t=192](https://youtu.be/Dm68uFy6gus?t=192)

around 3:12, the guy talks about a “figure out the rest” section, where we should think of a magic/black box that just works. can someone explain what he means by that? ive been rewatching that part over and over and cant understand what the purpose of that is.

A black box is something that has inputs and outputs but the process from getting this output from said input is opaque. So we really only care about the the relationship from outputs to inputs, the rest is beyond our sight/understanding. This is the Control Systems definition, but I think that’s what he was getting at, just understanding the large picture, not knowing the internal workings.
