++ Wikipedia:Cybernetics :Κυβερνήτης
Redefine Cybernetics as the flow of Information as a substance, much like matter or energy.
"The most recent definition has been proposed by Louis Kauffman, President of the American Society for Cybernetics, 'Cybernetics is the study of systems and processes that interact with themselves and produce themselves from themselves.'"
Autopoesis is a property, emergent in matter and energy, which arises because of the information of which they are constituted at a more fundamental level.
Information has properties which make it an integral part of our view of the material and phenomenal world, linking Matter (and Energy) to Mind. In the study of material phenomena, there are aspects which cannot be properly explained, or cannot be explained elegantly, without treating Information as a substance.
Information is the substance by which forms arise in matter and energy; matter and energy can be trans-formed, and there are rules (stipulations and conditions) by which these transformations take place, or can be made to take place. The existence of these rules point beyond the two substances themselves, to a new (third) substance entirely. This third substance, governing (Κυβερνήτης) the forms and transformations of matter and energy, is Information.
