Speaking of initial conditions --
Though, to speak in truth, if come the day,
When do such as we, or all the likes of us,
Ever truly speak of our initial conditions,
Sensitive toward them how ever we may grow?
So let me then speak of initial conditions
In just the way I wit then I ultimately do,
In medias res, in thick midsts of the plot,
For my part there is much that begins here:
| The most fundamental concept in cybernetics is that of "difference",
| either that two things are recognisably different or that one thing
| has changed with time.
