Welcome to /c/cybernetics!

Cybernetics is the transdisciplinary study of circular causal processes such as feedback and recursion, where the effects of a system's actions (its outputs) return as inputs to that system, influencing subsequent action.

Interview with workers from worker owned company Loomio that makes decision making software used by organizations, unions, collectives etc. from what I get based around direct democracy.

Although I'm not a big fan of software solutions to social problems, I liked this podcast because it talks about organizing and managing software production and applying VSM(viable system model). And in general, General Intellect Unit has interesting podcast episodes.

This is a Manual. Its objectives are: firstly, to provide you with a set of tools which will enable you to deal with any problems concerning your organisational structure, and secondly, to show you how to use these tools. It offers an alternative to the usual approach which depends upon hierarchy, authority and obedience, and is of particular interest to enterprises which are looking for ways of becoming more efficient and of encouraging participation and democratic work practices. As the manual unfolds, you will gradually acquire a new vocabulary. This new language is the basis of the Viable Systems Model approach: it will enable you to think about your organisation in a fundamentally different way. The methods described will enable you to Diagnose your own organisation. Prescribe ways of dealing with inadequacies. Design a healthy organisation from scratch.

Mathematics to plan an economy Introduction to cyber-socialist calculus

This small book is nice to give some introduction on economics planing. So far I read it's mostly central planing, but it should provide good intro if you wanna study economic planing and make it decentralized/distributed.
