Cyberneticist

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

A cyberneticist or an cybernetician is a person who practices cybernetics.

Heinz von Foerster once told Stuart Umpleby that Norbert Wiener preferred the term "cybernetician" rather than "cyberneticist," perhaps because Wiener was a mathematician rather than a physicist.
