The challenge of sociocybernetics
Felix GeyerSummarizes some of the important concepts and developments in cybernetics and general systems theory, especially during the last two decades. Shows how they can indeed be a…
EXORcist Boolean algebra and interactions between binary strings
C. MusèsCarrying on the arithmetization of Euler diagrams by George Boole, with refinements by Augustus De Morgan and others, the full‐scale incorporation of binary strings into the…
The computer subconscious
H. John CaulfieldOne thing which distinguishes people from computers and from one another is variously called creativity, the right brain, or the subconscious. Computers are designed to be fast…
Perturbed living organisms: a cybernetic approach to oscillatory luminescence
Bonawentura KochelDiscusses the efficiency of a cybernetic approach to non‐oscillatory luminescence processes, generated by perturbed biosystems, and applies it to oscillatory luminescence…
Irrelevance and relevance of Gödel’s theorems to artificial intelligence
Sang Mun KimConsiders whether Gödel’s results preclude the possibility or the impossibility of the artificial intelligence (AI) thesis; and also what the (possible) applications or…
Principal peculiarities of cybernetic systems: a negentropic and evolutionary approach
Alexis V. JdankoDescribes a functional‐structural scheme of cybernetic or control systems. Analyses, from the evolutionary point of view, some fundamental problems of evolutionary cybernetics…
The Cartesian composition of fuzzy finite state machines
D.S. Malik, J.N. Mordeson, M.K. SenStudies the concept of the Cartesian composition of fuzzy finite state machines. Shows that fuzzy finite state machines and their Cartesian composition share many structural…
On the continuity of fuzzy entropies
Rodney C. Bassanezi, Heriberto E. Román‐FloresThe entropy as a measure of diversity has been used by ecologists to characterize a community by its stability process. After the introduction of the concept of a fuzzy subset by…
