cybernetics

The first is the stream of thought going back to Ross Ashby known as “management cybernetics,” which Davies clarifies.

As a student, Harbisson had met Plymouth University cybernetics expert Adam Montandon, who enabled him to "hear" colour using headphones, a webcam and laptop - transforming light waves into sounds.

Mr. Hsu’s work is subtler, with flickers of surrealism, psychedelia and cybernetics.

But in so doing, all the sweeping assumptions underlying cybernetics are ignored, particularly the genesis of its development as a mathematical architecture of warfare and defense.

Or a new framework will emerge from cybernetics, control theory, complexity and dynamical systems theory, semantics and semiotics.
