Allostasis is demarcated as a new paradigm (Kuhn, 1962) for three reasons: it models parameter variation to optimize interaction with complex environments (unlike homeostasis which seeks constancy), it explains regulation as anticipatory (unlike homeostasis which relies on reactive feedback), and it explicitly positions the brain as the organ of central command.
