Cybernetic Fairy ~ Frame II

The meaning of the term "cybernetics" is today somewhat different from the Greek word "Kybernetes," or helmsmen, to describe an automatic computer. In 1966 I wrote the definition:

"Cybernetics describes an intelligent activity or event which can be expressed in algorithms. Algorithms, in turn, refer to a system of instructions which describes unambiguously and accurately an interaction which is equivalent to a given type of flux of intelligence and a subsequent, controlled activity. The development of cybernetics aims, among other things, at the design and reproduction of functions which are peculiar to intelligent organisms."

T. C. Helvey, The Age of Information (1971)

& are not Fairies peculiar intelligent organisms?
