"Cybernetics: Or Control and Communication in the Animal and the Machine"

"Cybernetics: Or Control and Communication in the Animal and the Machine," by Norbert Wiener, explores how systems—both biological and mechanical—regulate themselves through feedback mechanisms. It examines how organisms and machines process information, adapt to their environments, and maintain stability or achieve goals. Wiener’s work reveals that living beings and machines share fundamental principles of control and communication, highlighting interconnectedness in systems theory. This foundational text has influenced fields like robotics, computer science, and biology, emphasizing the importance of information flow and regulation in complex systems.
