design for the brain. book. author? pickering?

machine simulating the brain

later on machine used for psychiatric practice.


war: if you can set the dials in some specific position, the oher can adapt. who will adapt to whom in the configuration?

strange moments phased out. then machines that would seek their own purpose.. second generation cybernetics etc..

to keep this stable position it is necessary to continously dig in the unknown.


do hackerspace practices move away from the normal relation to technology? and is there a diversion from the cybernetic aim of defending modernity?


pen testing for example starts from the assumption that there is something unknown, that is out of the model.


pickering talks about in-vivo experiments. 


rossecky?, greywater, who invented the tortoise.

they both had academic positions but they became famous instead with what they were doing at home, homeostat and tortoise, by recycling materials leftover frm ww2. apparently ignoring the link between the war and methodology.. while norbert wiener's cybernetics is developed during war to hit nazi airplanes by applying statistics to the future..
