Describes the two basic kinds of systems (matter/energy and information/communication) and how they form a figure/ground gestalt to create a unified reality.

Information in relation to logic, communication, binary choices and probability

The relationship of mind and body is a figure-ground relationship. When one is in the foreground the other is in the background.

A brief slideshow on the basic structure of cybernetic control.

The first cybernetic system studied was the governor on a steam engine. This slide show analyzes the governor from a cybernetic perspective.

This slideshow presents interpretations of the governor from a variety of other models of a cybernetic system.

In a cybernetic system matter and energy are the media of information and communication, while information and communication control matter and energy. This slide show traces the information and energy processes in a governor.
