Reading: Morozov, Evgeny (2014), “The Planning Machine: Project Cybersyn… Big Data…” https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2014/10/13/planning-machine Create sketch notes or a concept map of the key ideas and models. Exercise: Identify a system that includes automatic feedback. - The system should automatically close the feedback loop (without human input). - Do not use a thermostat as your example. Create a realistic illustration of the system and its operation, e.g, a photo. - Identify the specific components of the system (the mechanism) and their functions (e.g., lever, height indicator). - Label the components in cybernetic terms (e.g., significant variable, goal, sensor, comparator, actuator, disturbances).
