Abstract: Provided is a dynamic control (dycon). A dycon is a conventional control coupled with a dedicated display means, coordinated by data processing. Preferably, the dedicated display means is affixed to the control. A dycon has one, and only one, dedicated display means which depicts information for only that particular dycon. A dycon's dedicated display means has one, and only one, mechanical control for which it displays meaning. Information displayed on the dedicated display means assigns a current meaning to the dycon. A dycon may have many meanings over a period of time as indicated by the many variations in what is displayed for the dycon.
