¶ Ruddering: Rudder Concept
← Rudder | Ruddering Sequence (1) →
Index Entry
“Order is achieved through positive and negative, magnitude and frequency-controlled alteration of the successive steering angle. We move by zigzagging control from one phase of physical universe evolution to another. The rudder concept of social law is most apt. Norbert Wiener chose the word ‘cybernetics,’ derived from the Greek roots of ‘rudder,’ because Wiener, Shannon and others in communication theory were exploring human behaviors and their brain-controlled ‘feedback,’ and the like, as a basis for the design of computers, and it became evident that the human brain steers man through constant change.” The identical text to the above appears in blank verse form in “How Little I Know.” Page 71, 1966
