Cybernetics is an interdisciplinary field that studies the structure, constraints, and possibilities of complex systems, particularly focusing on communication and control in animals and machines. It combines elements of engineering, mathematics, biology, and social sciences to understand how systems self-regulate and adapt through feedback loops. The term was coined by Norbert Wiener in the 1940s, deriving from the Greek word “kybern?t?s,” meaning “steersman” or “governor.”
