Piero Mella Bücher

Focusing on Gregory Bateson's Constructivist method of cognition, this book explores how the mind perceives and categorizes differences to form perceptions of objects. It delves into the process of constructing concepts from these distinctions and how they inform the meanings of signs in language. By providing a structured interpretation of cognitive processes, the text aims to clarify human cognition and establish foundational principles applicable to artificial intelligence. The approach seeks to bridge the gap between perception and the understanding of reality.

Focusing on the fundamental operations of control systems, this book emphasizes the importance of recognizing and improving these systems across various fields. It advocates for a "control-oriented thinking" approach, utilizing straightforward models from systems thinking to manage complexity effectively. Over thirteen chapters, Piero Mella illustrates how simple control systems can be more beneficial than complex ones, highlighting their essential role in everyday life and the necessity of developing a true "discipline of control."
