I got confused when reading The Law of Requisite Variety and this definition: “To solve a complex problem, the approach needs to have the same complexity.”

Then I read all kinds of interesting-sounding interpretations.

Just read a chapter on Cybernetics, which states: explanations such as [the one above] is not what was intended by Ashby (1958). 😳

So, now I am reading some chapters from Ashby. 😬

Constraints and Indications • 2
• https://inquiryintoinquiry.com/2024/07/04/constraints-and-indications-2-a/

Coping with collaboration, communication, context, integration, interoperability, perspective, purpose, and the reality of the information dimension demands a transition from conceptual environments bounded by dyadic relations to those informed by triadic relations, especially the variety of triadic sign relations employed by pragmatic semiotics.

Along the lines of my first post on this topic I am presently concerned with the logical and mathematical requirements of dealing with constraints but when it comes to the constraints involved in communicating across cultural and disciplinary barriers I could recommend a paper Susan Awbrey and I wrote for a conference devoted to those very issues.

Die #Kontrolle eines #System​s erfordere eine #Regulierung, die mehr #Flexibilität vorweist als das, was sie #kontrollieren möchte, weil sie #Anschluss an jedes #Verhalten liefern müsse, das unter #unsichtbar​en #Bedingungen zustande kommt.

Insofern sei es wichtiger zu #verstehen, #was geschieht, als genau zu #wissen, #wie es geschieht.
