Cybernetics is the interdisciplinary study of the structure of complex systems, especially communication processes,
control mechanisms and feedback principles. Cybernetics is closely related to control theory and systems theory,
but both in its origins and in its evolution in the second-half of the 20th century, cybernetics is equally applicable
to social (that is, language-based) systems.
Cybernetics is always and only involved when the system under scrutiny is involved in a closed loop, where action by
the system in an environment causes some change in the environment AND that change is manifest to the system via
information/feedback that causes changes in the way the system then behaves, and all this in service of a goal or goals.
This "circular causal" relationship is necessary and sufficient for a cybernetic perspective.
Example of cybernetic thinking. On the one hand a company is approached as a system in an environment. On the other hand
cybernetic factory emphasis can be modeled as a control system.

Contemporary cybernetics began as an interdisciplinary study connecting the fields of control systems,
electrical network theory, mechanical engineering, logic modeling, evolutionary biology, neuroscience,
anthropology, and psychology in the 1940s.

system theory (a mathematical counterpart to cybernetics), psychology (especially neuropsychology,
behavioral psychology, cognitive psychology), philosophy, and architecture.
