The Cybernetic Foundation of the Resilience Trust Engine

The provided text explains the foundational principles of cybernetics and their application in designing a robust system called the Resilience Trust Engine (RTE). It begins by defining cybernetics as the transdisciplinary science of communication, control, and regulation in complex systems, emphasizing the concept of "steersmanship" through feedback loops (both negative for stability and positive for growth). The document then introduces Ashby's Law of Requisite Variety, stating that a control system's complexity must match that of the disturbances it aims to manage, and the Conant-Ashby Theorem, which posits that an effective regulator must contain an internal model of the system it regulates. Finally, the text demonstrates how the RTE, with its multi-stage framework and AI orchestrator, embodies these cybernetic laws to achieve organizational homeostasis and effective governance in a complex technological environment.
