This session took a different turn from the usual presentation by a named individual. It is convened as a conversation between the members of the cybernetic community (and visitors). The intention was not to give opinions on the pros and cons of this highly controversial and huge project to build a huge new rail network across Britain. Instead, we will try to achieve a cybernetic steer, analyzing cybernetics itself. It was hosted and moderated by Angus Jenkinson, FCybS, the Secretary of the Society

In what way does cybernetics help us to make decisions on such projects?
Decisions about whether to do it. And about design questions, how it should be done. From planning to delivery. Consider goals, consequences, contexts, observers, ecologies,

The Cybernetics Society promotes and offers education and research opportunities in the rich field of cybernetics. It is a specially authorised learned society regulated by the FSA and established by a 1974 Act of Parliament. To join visit our membership system or pick the Join ticket. We give MCybS and FCybS postnomal awards.
Cybernetics and the Society seek understanding of the vast domain of active causation, internally controlled behaviour towards outcomes of value in living organisms, people, ecosystems, societies and firms, and non-living machines. We cultivate the principles and praxis required to design policies, interventions, and innovations for social and ecological weal.
