  • Abstract
    Norbert Wiener was not only one of the inventors of cybernetics, but also an early cybernetician of invention (i.e., design). Wiener operated between what is (scientifically describable) and what ought to be (designed). He also reflected theoretically on himself doing so, thereby enacting several concepts of today?s cybernetic design theory ? far ahead of his time.
