I “remember” now, tht at this time last fall, I had begun to draft potential posts with this blog app. Apparantly, I had forgotten and only now discovered these draft posts.}
¶ 2 Leave a comment on paragraph 2 0 I start with the assumption that there are no primary, fundamental rules or conceptual schemes. Thus, although this doc focuses on a conceptual scheme labeled “cybernetics”, and that it is very important, I am not proposing that “cybernetics” be THE foundation idea. This is not to say that what we label “REALITY” won’t have a ranking structure, but that is to be determined – and I assume that humans will never have access to or fully comprehend an ultimate REALITY.
¶ 3 Leave a comment on paragraph 3 0 I recently discovered that there are now FOUR ORDERS of cybernetics; the last I looked there were two – and I have yet to digest the two, new levels.
¶ 4 Leave a comment on paragraph 4 0 CYBERNETIC BALANCE
¶ 5 Leave a comment on paragraph 5 0 Cybernetics labels the processes by which components and subsystems of a complex ecoholarchy of sysnets interact via the exchange of information.
¶ 6 Leave a comment on paragraph 6 0 We can imagine situations where the ability of a node to emit, receive, or process types of information may not be adequate for optimal functioning of the whole. This could occur if parts were damaged, or if evolution has not yet led to the formation of necessary structures.

¶ 8 Leave a comment on paragraph 8 0 I propose that humankind has grown in terms of population and global distribution to form cultural/societal systems where the cybernetic competencies of both individual human persons and human social systems are not yet adequate to “handle” the information flows required for sustainability and viability of the whole of humankind, and major subsystems. But, we have the ready potential to quickly gain these competencies. This will involve OLLO [Organizing-for-Learning=&=Learning-for-Organizing], where Organizing includes the creation of appropriate technology.
