“The time when Wiener’s cybernetics emerged, there were two competing new directions in system design, development, and control:
• a continuous (analog) direction promoted by cybernetics, and
• a discrete (logic-based) direction promoted by first computers associated with the name of John von Neumann.
There has been a fruitful cross-pollination between these approaches, but they largely remained different – until, in 1965, Lotfi Zadeh, a specialist in systems, combined these two directions by showing that, to properly take into account human reasoning, it is not enough to use traditional discrete (two-valued) logic, we need a continuous logic. The resulting fuzzy logic has indeed led to numerous useful practical applications.”

About Wiener’s « Cybernetics »
« Cybernetics » is the most widely known book by Norbert Wiener. It is not a technical book, its status is different. It says that feedback, information, and logical calculus, are important concepts not only in electronics but in many fields, from machines to living beings, including man, and the societies they can form. This book deals mainly with philosophical matters with an accent on human problems.
It gives also a glimpse on what Wiener did in the field of probabilities : “Wiener’s measure” connected with Brownian motion, “Generalized harmonic analysis” and prediction of stationary time series, the role of “noise” which opens views on the limitations of knowledge and so on epistemology.
