(Just to complete a earlier contribution:
We all agree that in roll demand mode the AB strives to keep the demand, which before decrab was the actual bank angle. Logically the computer then commands a slight roll to get back to that bank angle. THAT's the input i was mentioning,
Sorry, that's incorrect. In normal law the FBW does NOT return the a/c to the original bank angle - it merely tries to maintain the roll rate demanded by the side-stick. The bank angle is irrelevant.

I believe I remember reading about how the AB sidestick does NOT move, but that the pilots actually put pressure on it? is this correct?
No, the sidestick moves! Perhaps you are thinking of the original F-16 side stick....
