A theoretical introduction to cybernetics. Theoretical framework used in cybernetics.
Adaptation in cybernetics is the ability of a system to dynamically adjust, change its structure and behaviour in response to external and internal stimuli.
Communication as a process of exchanging information, transmitting signals and meanings between a sender and a receiver in complex social and technical systems.
Complexity as a measure of multilayeredness, unpredictability, and dynamics of systems, characterized by nonlinear interactions, emergence, and the ability to self-organize.
Control in cybernetics is a mechanism for regulating systems, consisting of monitoring, comparing and correcting actions to achieve intended goals.
Entropy as a measure of disorder and chaos in systems, determining the degree of energy dispersion and the probability of changes in physical and information processes.
Feedback as a self-regulating mechanism in systems, consisting of the transmission of information about the result of an action, enabling correction, adaptation and…
Homeostasis as a mechanism for maintaining balance in biological, social and technical systems through continuous regulation of internal parameters.
Steering in cybernetics is a deliberate process of influencing a system, consisting of consciously directing its behaviour to achieve desired results.
A system is an organised set of interrelated elements that form a coherent whole, capable of performing specific functions and achieving specific goals in a complex…
