SUMMARY An attempt is made to reveal the prospects for an interaction between cybernetics and the natural sciences on the basis of molecular cybernetics, a synthetic discipline that takes into account both informational and physical aspects of the systems. In this paper: 1) A quantum‐theory‐based concept of organization (concept of a system) is formulated; 2) the unification of a number of concepts of cybernetics, a physics to build the concepts of molecular cybernetics is suggested, and 3) a concept or organization in molecular cybernetics based on concepts of a universal unit of organization, a Bion, of a coherent electron graph system and of electromagnetic natural control, is discussed. Prospects for the implementation of molecular cybernetics' devices for optimization control are also briefly discussed.
