Modelling Suicide‐Related Communication Dynamics: A Socio‐Cybernetic Framework for Governance

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Suicide‐related phenomena (SPS) are often approached through individual‐level risk factors or moral framings, yet their population‐level dynamics depend critically on how ‘suicide’ becomes observable, circulates and is governed across functionally differentiated systems.

Systemic Management Education as an Adaptive Venture: 60‐Year Evolution of the St. Gallen Management Model

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Which methodological position is best for orientating higher education? This question is crucial for the design of pedagogical programmes. The issue is not always raised; hence, many offers in higher education are unsatisfactory: ill‐defined, concept‐less, inefficient.

Emergent Innovation in Systemic Programme Design: Retrospective Reflections on the Development of a Student‐Centred Masters in Systems Thinking

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Our theory of education, based on a systemic understanding of the subjective and intersubjective construction of knowledge, is that students are motivated to study what is most meaningful to them. Meaningfulness is grounded in the students' prior experiences, which are highly diverse.

Nested Selves: Self‐Organization and Shared Markov Blankets in Prenatal Development in Humans

Topics in Cognitive Science, EarlyView., 2023
Abstract The immune system is a central component of organismic function in humans. This paper addresses self‐organization of biological systems in relation to—and nested within—other biological systems in pregnancy. Pregnancy constitutes a fundamental state for human embodiment and a key step in the evolution and conservation of our species. While not

From Algorithms to Ecosystems: Conceptual Links Between Artificial Intelligence and Biological Control

Systems Research and Behavioral Science, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The growing convergence between artificial intelligence (AI) and biological sciences has revealed important conceptual parallels between computational systems and ecological processes. This study proposes a systems‐based framework to move beyond purely metaphorical comparisons by distinguishing three analytical levels of correspondence between

Baselining Large Language Model Performance in Systems Engineering Using SysEngBench

Systems Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In the rapidly evolving field of artificial intelligence (AI), large language model s (LLMs) have demonstrated impressive capabilities in generating natural language. However, their proficiency in specialized domains, particularly in the field of systems engineering (SE), remains less explored and unquantified.

Animal translations: AI and the intelligibility of non‐human worlds Traduire l'animal : l'IA et l'intelligibilité des mondes non humains

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Amid the general sense of worry that large language models will soon drown out human voices, some researchers are optimistic that machine learning will allow humans to listen to and understand animal voices to an unprecedented extent. As part of a broader project aimed at interspecies communication, a loosely connected set of animal behaviourists, AI ...

Usability: A Cybernetics Perspective. [PDF]

, 2020
Abstract Usability as a concept is well established, encapsulating the rich interaction between different kinds of users, information technology systems, and contexts of use. In the context of socio-technical systems, technology shapes societies and human interactions, and likewise technology itself is shaped by social, economic, and political forces ...

‘Everything is a signal’: speaking circuits and noisy signs in the making of language‐oriented AI « Tout est signal » : circuits parlants et signes bruyants dans la création de l'IA orientée langage

Journal of the Royal Anthropological Institute, EarlyView.
Contemporary artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are often presumed to be capable of revealing unmediated truths about the world, including the truths language might hold, echoing the long‐standing assertion that language's primary function is to directly translate reality.
