Basic Concepts of Science
[Node to be completed]
Cybernetics starts where metaphysics ends. It takes for granted the
notions of system, process, state and control as the primary elements
of models to construct. This is its difference from physics, which
takes space, time and matter as the primary concepts. It does not follow
that cybernetics may do completely without physical notions and
vice cersa: the question is that of the main focus. Boundaries between
various provinces of knowledge are blurred by constant lebding and borrowing.
