Cybernetics is the transdisciplinary study of circular causal processes
such as feedback and recursion,
where the effects of a system’s actions (its outputs) return as inputs to that system, influencing subsequent action.
… the science of communication and control in living things (such as the brain or nervous system) and machines (like computers or robots). It studies how systems regulate themselves, send signals, and respond to feedback to achieve goals or maintain stability.
