Anticipatory Systems Philosophical, Mathematical and Methodological Foundations By: Robert Rosen Publisher: Pergamon Print ISBN: 9780080311586, 008031158X eText ISBN: 9781483286273, 1483286274 Copyright year: 1985 Format: PDF Available from $ 72.95 USD SKU: 9781483286273 The first detailed study of this most important class of systems which contain internal predictive models of themselves and/or of their environments and whose predictions are utilized for purposes of present control. This book develops the basic concept of a predictive model, and shows how it can be embedded into a system of feedforward control. Includes many examples and stresses analogies between wired-in anticipatory control and processes of learning and adaption, at both individual and social levels. Shows how the basic theory of such systems throws a new light both on analytic problems (understanding what is going on in an organism or a social system) and synthetic ones (developing forecasting methods for making individual or collective decisions).
