Seizing the well being back by compassion and knowledge

In the readings I found the words are not about architecture, nor cybernetics, neither science. It is all about human and being humane. In the ” Designing freedom” Stafford talks about cultural constrains that occupy the institution resisting the intellectual freedom. As culture teaches intellectual law, not intellectual freedom. Then he comes to the point what is freedom for which we are fighting over? Its is the variety or novelty. Then he focuses on how this variety can be achieved.He establishes his logic on designing a system. A cybernetic system/model designed through love, compassion and wisdom.Cybernetics is not the solution, it is the efficient tool (when designed accordingly) that has the tremendous possibility to change the involuntary functions both in man-made and natural scape.In the cybernetic system the outputs will be defined by the common people’s need that goes to the system for being minimized, then synthesized and then amplified to help the common mass and the source who are providing the variety, thus novelty, thus freedom to individuals. In that sense the freedom here is depending on the system/model. In the book Beer describes how the model can be fixed. One of his assumptions about the potential model should consist of simple models of dynamic systems which also fit to each other harmoniously.

Here I found Gordon Pask seconds with Beer in his “The architectural relevance of cybernetics”. According to Pask Isolated sub theories should be summed up to develop a overall system for mastering one of dynamic systems(architecture) by analyzing through artificial intelligence computer program.

Norbert Weiner in his ” Cybernetics in history” finds information transfer system in both computer and human body is the same. Synapse and data cable transfer electrons through the system. Both the bodies have two types of actions- voluntary and involuntary function. In his book he shows how the individual’s though process have shaken the world, one theory is this heavy that it took half a century to reach the common’s grasp. It is Human’s intuitive mind and only that can push the boundary of our limitation. It is unfair if this uber powerful mind is put to do the involuntary action (here I put the world as involuntary as it does not require any thought to process the action and it does not bring novelty). Weiner wants the artificial intelligence to take over the
automation(relentless and repetitive works/production) of human life and minds get engage in more creative pursuits.

Stafford and Pask mention cybernetics to reveal a system for the well being of the society and whereas Weiner hopes the artificial intelligence to release human mind from motor functions for individual freedom to think.
