A (Cybernetic) Musing: Control, Variety and Addiction

چکیده
In contrast, I have reported, on several occasions, on cases that originate in the cybernetic literature and with the grand old men (yes, I’m afraid, men) of cybernetics, who have discussed systems that are in essence uncontrollable. And there is, in my opinion, a medical predicament that is best dealt with not by controlling it but by giving up all attempts at control—which is the new element I introduce in this paper.

A Cybernetic Glove to Control a Real Time Granular Sound Synthesis Process
We propose a cybernetic glove to control sound synthesis process. The glove was adopted to measure static and dynamic postures of the hand, by means of piezoelectric sensors, which are capable to change their electrical resistivity when deformed. The piezoresistive coefficient is defined by the ratio of the change of the relative resistivity caused by the change of the relative length of resist...
