Re: Cactus Language • Stylistics 1 Re: Cybernetics • Shann Turnbull

ST: How does your posting meet the test of being relevant to the Wiener definition of Cybernetic? Cybernetics can explain how all living things are self‑regulating, self‑governing and to some extent self‑repairing. Models are not needed because they are illustrated in practice everywhere.

The web pages heading you referred to does not support cybernetics being hard science subject to empirical testing.

It states:

As a result, we can hardly conceive of how many possibilities there are for what we call objective reality. Our sharp quills of knowledge are so narrow and so concentrated in particular directions that with science there are myriads of totally different real worlds, each one accessible from the next simply by slight alterations — shifts of gaze — of every particular discipline and subspecialty.

May I suggest that you share your interest in semantics with only those dedicated to your topic? Refer to International Association of Literary Semantics.

Hopefully, the audience of this list, also interested in non‑testable science, will follow you to more efficient focus discussion on the cybcom list.

Thanks for the comment, Shann, good to know one has a Reader.

It’s not usually necessary to give too weighty a justification for an epigraph like the one I used. They may be intended as nothing more than a bit of light relief from the daily te deums before turning back to the task at hand, a sidelong reflection on the broader scene, or even a counterpoint to the main theme in view. I can see how some of that may need to be developed as we go but I would not wish to get too diverted at this point.

It appears I have run out of time for today. I’ll return to your substantive remarks next time.

Regards, Jon
