It has not been kept up-to date since early 2006; with my recent “rediscovery” of it I will be bringing it up to date here, refreshing it, including fixing or striking any connections that have suffered from “web link rot” and perhaps this refurbishment might even lead to reflecting it back to its original site to see if it can fulfill the original design intent….)
A simple view of Cybernetics is as the science of communications and control in animal and machine.
Cybernetics, and the related domain of systems science , is the study all forms of “organized complexity”, that is how different components can be assembled in a way that is neither random nor repetitive so as to form a “system”.

[dhcs: May 28, 2010 | please note: this piece was originally put in place for a predecessor weblog (http://cep.weblogger.com) as "Cybernetics - start here guide" and the original page was still under construction at the time that this new website was started.... in this new incarnation it is still, unfortunately, essentially a collection of "signposts" rather than a travel guide, however annotations will be added over time to turn it into (a) a true guide to the field and then onwards towards (b) the foundation of a "learning machine". The original concept of the 'start here guide' will be replaced by a series of new posts on this site over the next several weeks]
