"Norbert Wiener next invented the word ‘feedback’ to identify discovery of biased error and its spontaneously-coped-with over-correction. Governed by minimum-angular-error-maintaining devices, such as gyroscopes governed by delicate hydro or electrically actuated servomechanism connected to the powerful rudder-steering mechanisms, these devices greatly reduce the magnitude of rightward and leftward steering errors. In gyroscopes governed by servomechanisms, steering is accomplished only by minimizing angular variance errors, and not by eliminating them or pretending they do not exist. Gyro-steering produces a net wavelinear course, but always with errors of much higher frequency and much shorter wavelength than those made by the human handling of the rudder and the latter’s inevitable veerings left and right.
“All designing of Universe is accomplished only through angle and frequency modulation. The DNA-RNA codes found within the protein shells of the viruses governing the designing of all the species of all biological organisms in Universe consist only of angle-and-frequency-modulated instructions.”
