zoology /si :`b *-net 'iks / The study of control and
communication in living and man -made systems .
The term was first proposed by {Norbert Wiener } in the book
referenced below . Originally , cybernetics drew upon
electrical engineering , mathematics , biology , neurophysiology ,
anthropology , and psychology to study and describe actions ,
feedback , and response in systems of all kinds . It aims to
understand the similarities and differences in internal
workings of organic and machine processes and , by formulating
abstract concepts common to all systems , to understand their
behaviour .
Modern "second -order cybernetics " places emphasis on how the
process of constructing models of the systems is influenced by
those very systems , hence an elegant definition - "applied
epistemology ".
Related recent developments (often referred to as {sciences of
complexity }) that are distinguished as separate disciplines
are {artificial intelligence }, {neural networks }, {systems
theory }, and {chaos theory }, but the boundaries between those
and cybernetics proper are not precise .
