Cybernetics
Cybernetics is the interdisciplinary study of control, communication, and feedback in living organisms, machines, and organizations. Coined by Norbert Wiener in the 1940s, it focuses on how systems regulate themselves and adapt through information exchange. Cybernetics laid the foundation for modern computing, robotics, artificial intelligence, and systems theory by explaining how feedback loops enable learning, stability, and automation. Its principles continue to influence everything from neuroscience and biology to network design and autonomous systems.
