Your Definition
A framework originating from Norbert Wiener and colleagues that studies control, communication, and feedback in systems—biological, mechanical, social, and computational. Cybernetic theory focuses on how systems regulate themselves through loops, how information flows, and how complex behavior emerges from simple rules. It’s foundational to artificial intelligence, systems theory, and robotics, but also influences management theory, economics, and psychology. Core concepts include feedback, homeostasis, emergence, and the cyborg as a hybrid of organism and machine.
