This sounds very interesting. I don't think I ever encountered Cybernetics in college nor in all these years as a professional software engineer. Any more resources apart from the linked pdf that you would recommend, perhaps tailored to someone with a CS background? (I'm reading through the pdf, just wanted to see if there were other treatments on this topic)
- carapace 9y ago"Introduction to Cybernetics" is technical and very much in the spirit of CS. A lot of what gets called "cybernetics" tends to be kind of "fluffy" and I personally avoid that stuff. I'd recommend Norbert Wiener's "Cybernetics: Or Control and Communication in the Animal and the Machine". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norbert_Wiener https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Norbert_Wiener https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cybernetics:_Or_Control_and_Communication_in_the_Animal_and_the_Machine https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cybernetics:_Or_Control_and_Co... And "Behavior, Purpose and Teleology" by Rosenblueth, Wiener and Bigelow: http://pespmc1.vub.ac.be/books/Wiener-teleology.pdf http://pespmc1.vub.ac.be/books/Wiener-teleology.pdf
