Cybernetica Web

Principia Cybernetica tries to tackle
age-old philosophical questions with the help of the
most recent cybernetic theories and technologies.

This is the website of the Principia
Cybernetica Project (PCP), an international organization.
The Project aims to develop a complete philosophy or "world-view",
