摘要

Medicine is a science of control and should, therefore, be a subject that is particularly open to cybernetic investigation and enlightenment, for cybernetics is concerned with control and communication. Yet, in previous columns, I have reported cases that originate in the cybernetic literature and with the grand old men (yes, I'm afraid, men) of cybernetics, who have discussed systems that are in essence uncontrollable. In this paper, my main interest lies in uncontrollability and its effect on our understanding of one particular medical condition—addiction. It may seem rather strange for a cybernetician, writing in a cybernetics journal, to write about the uncontrollable. After all, cybernetics is explicitly concerned with control. But to understand the range of a concept is as important as to accept and use it. And if I appear to preach a sort of anti-cybernetics, then so be it! God needs the Devil. Before I approach addiction, however, let me recapitulate. In an earlier column (Glanville, 1998) I wrote about one advantage of a system that was in principle uncontrollable (where the variety exceeded Ashby's delimitation of things material, based on Bremermann's constant). This advantage derives, as always, not from the system per se (what on earth is that?) but from the way we use this understanding to approach the system, imagining a benefit we can gain from a way of looking that derives from the analysis of uncontrollability (unmanageability). That is, from the situation.
