Cybernetics: Originally the study of biological and artificial
control systems, cybernetics has evolved into many disparate areas
of study, with research in many disciplines, including computer
science, social philosophy and epistemology. In general, cybernetics
is concerned with discovering what mechanisms control systems,
and in particular, how systems regulate themselves.
