THE QUESTION OF METHOD

"No regulator is competent to regulate anything beyond the real-world projection of the model it contains... The controls we institute are devised to regulate what we think the world is like. Since that representation must be expected to have lower variety than the world actually proliferates, the controls are often circumvented..."
"The strange thing is that people will try to do themselves those jobs that can be much better dealt with by computers, and insist on leaving to computers those responsibilities that they can discharge only by themselves."
"There exists an enormous and expensive bureaucratic triple-filtering sytem administered by international bodies (UNO, UNESCO, FAO, WHO ...). This system is manifestly incapable of detecting incipient instability: its ponderous structures filter out the alerting signals. Instead, instability is signalled in direct human terms - usually by sudden violence. The process of instant diplomacy begins. This leads to instant alliances, instant wars, instant revolutions, instant threats - in all - to the survival of humankind (so far). But all of this activity is generated wholly outside the regulatory system for world brotherhood to which everyone subscribes. It has to be, since that regulatory system refutes every cybernetic canon in the book: it does not constitute a viable system. In particular, so far as the present discussion is concerned, its triple-filtration is guaranteed to suppress all signals that alert to incipient instability. This is an analysis of information available to us all; it is confirmed in my own case by (small) work in three international agencies where (in each case) it was completely impossible to discover anything of the remotest interest about the issues alleged to be addressed. It was enough, apparently, that a group of experts should sit in a cellar in the dark and tackle the problem of what it is like to be an expert."

STAFFORD BEER, The Heart of Enterprise, pp. 72, 386 and 385.    

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin taught that "all that ascends eventually converges," and that "the greater the unity, the greater the differentiation." Stafford Beer similarly denies any incompatibility between centralized authority and local initiative. Neither author was acquainted with Vittorio Hess's significiantly relevant complementary research into superhomoeostasis and cybernetic typology and, as noted elsewhere, I find myself at present unable to share Stafford Beer's belief in NASA's accounts of several alleged lunar landings - but that is, I think, quite a different issue. Today, I sincerely believe, no political leader may safely ignore Stafford Beer's contributions to higher management studies; they are applicable in every domain. (Beer might describe such books as the WORLDWATCH INSTITUTE's Vital Signs 2003-2004 - the trends that are shaping our future, London: Earthscan Publications Ltd., 2002, as fascinatingly irrelevant - with, one suspects, good reason, since Absolutum obsoletum - even though insight is, unlike concepts and systems, essentially free from the constraints suggested by Gödel's theorem. For a summary account of Team Syntegrity, Stafford Beer's preferred mode of community consultation, see Participation Works (New Economics Foundation, ISBN 1 899407 17 0).
