Quotes
- “Cybernetics is the science or the art of manipulating defensible metaphors; showing how they may be constructed and what can be inferred as a result of their existence.”
- “Man is always aiming to achieve some goal and he is always looking for new goals.”
- “To summarize the matter, teaching systems ought to be conversational in form and so devised that strategies are matched to individual competence.”
- “Complex human learning is a concept involving communication between the participant in the learning process, who commonly occupy the roles of learner and teacher.”
- “Observers are men, animals, or machines able to learn about their environment and impelled to reduce their uncertainty about the events which occur in it, by dint of learning... [We] shall examine human observers who, because we have an inside understanding of their observational process, belong to a special category. For the moment, we shall not bother with HOW an observer learns, but will concentrate upon WHAT he learns about, i.e. what becomes more certain.”
- “By definition, a pair of inherently unmeasurable, non-stationary systems, are coupled to produce an inherently measurable stationary system.”
