I still think Polaris is like the offspring of Hedron. I think it requires a catalyst to be born, or just merely exist in infancy, and that is why it has a symbiotic relationship with Jesse, a sound producing mammal. Hedron was the singularity, gender neutral, but because Polaris was born from mixing with Jesse it mirrors her voice and so she addresses it as a Her. Polaris is not just her power or psychosis, she clearly demonstrates sentience throughout the game.
All signs point to Darling having 'ascended' in some way, and I wonder if he too hasn't become some form of 'resonance being'. The way he communicates his final message to Jesse is through a music video, the most human and bombastic way of delivering sound possible. The Old Gods of Asgard produce such a powerful sound they can interrupt the effects of Objects of Power, and indeed the FBC were conducting experiments with their records and their parallel dimension counterparts the Poets Of The Fall ;)
Probably due to the SCP inspiration, a lot of Control's base is exploring the 5 senses. The Mold twisting the sense of smell for instance, a different way to infect members of the FBC. Then theres articles like the Flamingo screwing with sight and senses of vertigo and so on. The Not-Mother in the Ordinary reports could be seen as manipulating Taste too.
Not sure what to make of The Board and Former though. They're probably not Resonance beings, but something else perhaps more traditionally psychic, sleeping Astral world Lovecraftian based.
Boy do I enjoy all the Control lore.
