Cybernetics

Systems Control and Communications

Cybernetics examines the relationship between a system and its environment, focusing on how information is processed and utilized to achieve desired goals or outcomes. It seeks to understand how systems, whether mechanical, biological, or social, adapt, self-regulate, and make decisions based on feedback loops.

Key Concepts

Feedback which involves the process of monitoring system outputs and using that information to adjust inputs

Control which refers to the mechanisms and strategies used to steer or regulate a system's behavior

Communication which focuses on the exchange of information within and between systems.
