Cyberneticist (original) (raw)

A cyberneticist or a cybernetician is a person who practices cybernetics. Heinz von Foerster once told Stuart Umpleby that Norbert Wiener preferred the term "cybernetician" rather than "cyberneticist", perhaps because Wiener was a mathematician rather than a physicist. Today "cybernetician" is preferred by members of the American Society for Cybernetics.
