Second order Cybernetics considers the impact that the
observer has on the system being observed…. as such it covers all
most all aspects of human endeavor.
In effect, those
involved in second order cybernetics have turned the principles of
cybernetics upon the field of cybernetics itself. In order to qualify
as second-order cybernetics, the observer of a system must be described
and explained — the explanation can not be based purely on the system
observed as if the observer did not exist.
