The Human Use of Human Beings: Cybernetics and Society

The Human Use of Human Beings: Cybernetics and Society by Norbert Wiener

Weiner describes self regulating machines designed to follow or avoid light using sensors to detect light and a tiller to steer appropriately. Some diseases, such as intentional tremors and Parkinson's disease, can be modeled mathematically as an overload of the feedback mechanism. To explore this phenomenon and test the model, tropism machines were built and the feedback mechanism was made to have a variable intensity.
