1. A computer implemented method of controlling a physical system having at least one actuator that is operable based on a drive to produce a selected output, the method comprising:
- defining a virtual identity system which includes the physical system and a form of a model of the physical system stored in a computer;
providing a drive initiated by the computer to operate the at least one actuator;
receiving an actual output from the physical system indicative of a measured physical parameter;
checking a quality of identity of the virtual identity system using at least a function of the actual output and the form of the model stored on the computer; and
controlling the physical system using the computer as a function of checking the quality of identity of the virtual identity system.

Abstract
A method and apparatus for controlling a physical system responsive to an input to produce a selected output comprises defining a virtual identity system that includes the physical system for receiving the input to provide an actual output. A quality of identity of the virtual identity system is checked using at least a function of the actual output. In a preferred embodiment, adjustments are made to a model of the physical system as a function the quality of identity in order to render the correct input more efficiently and accurately.
