The variety of intended meanings and hence implicit entailments was examined from the perspective of implicit domains...

The result of this will be a self-organization that evolves naturally between theory and practice of cybernetics, leading to better learning of cybernetics, and in the process, sustaining it through continued...

... – In the 1970s, the first author implemented a computer program model of the cognitive processes involved in learning and skill acquisition, based on a series of empirical investigations. Recently, with assistance from the second author, the model has been reviewed, updated and re-implemented. The paper sets...

By rallying around the concept of “eduction”, second-order cybernetics plays a role in both syntheses. Practical implications...
