Anticipatory Systems : Philosophical, Mathematical and Methodological Foundations PDF
by Robert Rosen
Edited by G. Klir
Part of the IFSR International Series on Systems Science and Engineering series
Description
The first detailed study of this most important class of systems which contain internal predictive models of themselves and/or of their environments and whose predictions are utilized for purposes of present control.
This book develops the basic concept of a predictive model, and shows how it can be embedded into a system of feedforward control.
Includes many examples and stresses analogies between wired-in anticipatory control and processes of learning and adaption, at both individual and social levels.
Shows how the basic theory of such systems throws a new light both on analytic problems (understanding what is going on in an organism or a social system) and synthetic ones (developing forecasting methods for making individual or collective decisions).
