CORE DEFINITION

The pilot's operations are no longer directly mechanically connected to the wings, but are converted into electronic signals after processing by computers. The computer can automatically correct dangerous commands (such as preventing stalls).

SCAFFOLDING EFFECT

psychology

Reduce cognitive load

Introduce algorithmic mediation. Do not use intuition directly for high-risk trades. Add a layer of 'rule system' (trading strategy code, investment checklist) between your intuition and actions to filter out emotional erroneous commands.

Anchor fast decisions

Fly-by-wire refers to the use of electronic signals to replace mechanical/hydraulic linkages to control an aircraft, with computers interpreting control inputs and executing them, improving precision and stability.
