A new metaphor to Finally Explain The Brain;

Not even remotely new; "Behavior: The Control Of Perception" was written in 1973, IIRC. And yes, it's cited by other research, and cites prior research that provides evidence for specific control systems in the brain and nervous system, at several of the levels proposed by Powers.

provides few references and no peer-reviewed experimental work

I don't, but "Behavior: The Control Of Perception" has them by the bucket load.
