A Ternary Domanial Structure as a Basis for Cybernetics and its Place in Knowledge Available to Purchase

It is shown that there are already in the literature two theoretical discontinuities, that between energy and information and that between description and evaluation, which serve to define a set of three domains. Examination of the relationship between these discontinuities and domains leads to a special sense of the concept of “domain”, the new concept of a “tern” and a “Principle of Ternality”. A theoretical structure is built up using this principle. Because concepts relating to value, judgement, and justification have a natural place in the proposed structure, it is offered as a means by which cybernetics can relate not only to the rest of science but also to other branches of knowledge.
