There are many definitions of cybernetics and many individuals who have influenced the direction of cybernetics. Cybernetics takes as its domain the design or discovery and application of principles of regulation and communication. Cybernetics treats not things but ways of behaving. It does not ask "what is this thing?" but "what does it do?" and "what can it do?"

Some advanced, haptic systems now include tactile information, generally known as force feedback, in medical and gaming applications. - read more

Bluehoney.org is dedicated to anyone interested in "inner-space exploration". A deeper understanding of Self and reality via sacred plants is not a new concept, it is a surprisingly archaic concept.
