Kybernetics

Kybernetics, also known as cybernetics, is the interdisciplinary study of systems, especially focusing on feedback mechanisms that regulate and control them. It explores how systems—whether biological, mechanical, or social—process information, adapt to changes, and maintain stability or achieve goals. Think of it like understanding how a thermostat adjusts heating to keep a room comfortable, but applied broadly—covering machines, living organisms, organizations, and even societies. It provides insights into how complex systems self-regulate, learn, and evolve through communication and feedback loops, helping us design better technology and understand natural processes.
