COgITOR Readings PodCast
16. Maurice Yolles: The cybernetics of ecology

The COgITOR Readings Committee is releasing the presentations in form of podcasts to the broad audience.
Prof. Yolles analyses the COgITOR concept in light of the Mindset Agency Theory, a metacybernetic approach where the features of the colloidal autonomous system embody principles of self-regulation, self-organisation, and adaptability to external influences. Insights of this framework will help us in understanding the unique features of living systems when compared to cybernetic systems.
