The other day while playing with the Mastodon unique "transfer to another server" feature I must have messed up something because I just realized that after I "returned everything to normal" there are only three followers of my account and selecting the "32 subscribers" tab returns a "Not found" response.
Well ...
Nice job Einstein🤪
#Memory. What is it & how does it work? The word is used for both minds & computers. Where else does it fit? What's its role in emergence & #complexity? 🧵🕸️ In the paper below, @gnoli.eu takes an informational approach to this #liminal stage. link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s10699-022-09883-9
Memory as the “organ” that senses time, by Robert Hooke, as quoted by GJ Whitrow (1972) in “The Nature of Time”:
Back in the days (early 2000s) I tried to "sell" to a well-known aerospace company this "three-legged stool" approach of stable continuous organizational #changemanagement, where #sixsigma stands just as one of the many different tools one can choose from in dealing with the different #products of the organization, along with tools and methods more appropriate to deal with the other two aspects of the organization #people and #process.
As one could have expected, those "black belts" on the other side of the table didn't like it 😀.
They went with a strategy where a version of six sigma was used as the "foundation" for all process improvement efforts and everything else was subordinated to it.

#Kihbernetics is the study of #Complex #Dynamical #Systems with #Memory which is quite different from other #SystemsThinking approaches. Kihbernetic theory and principles are derived primarily from these three sources:
1️⃣ #CE_Shannon's theory of #Information and his description of a #Transducer,
2️⃣ #WR_Ashby's #Cybernetics and his concept of #Transformation, and
3️⃣ #HR_Maturana's theory of #Autopoiesis and the resulting #Constructivism
Although equally applicable to any dynamical system with memory (mechanisms, organisms, or organizations) the Kihbernetic worldview originated from my helping navigate organizations through times of #change.
