Cybernetics
is the interdisciplinary science dealing with communication and control
systems in living organisms, machines and organizations. The term
was derived from the Greek word kybernetes (“steersman”
or “governor”). It was first applied in 1948 to the theory
of control mechanisms by the American mathematician Norbert Wiener
(1894-1964). Cybernetics is founded on principles of mathematics and
logic.
Q:
What
is the Psychocybernetics?
A:

is the study of the human subject in an interdisciplinary and holistic
manner for the purpose of effectively managing the various systems.

within the human system.
Q:
Who
originally developed the theory of Psychocybernetics?
A:
The
theory of psychocybernetics was developed by Prof. Marian Mazur (1909 - 1983) of
Poland. He published his Psychocybernetical Theory of Character, “Cybernetics
Theory of Autonomous Systems” in 1966. Professor Mazur lectured
on cybernetics and psychocybernetics at many prestigious educational
institutions and industry organizations. He authored over 150 publications
during his distinguished career.
Q:
How
is stress relieved?
A:
Determine the mechanism of stress.
Diagnose the source of stress before beginning
treatment.
Treat the cause of
stress rather than its symptoms.
Q:
Is
it possible to alter your own character?
A:
No. You cannot change your own character.
Having knowledge of your own character will not
affect any changes.
It is pointless to expend energy
on determining what kind of character is most desirable to possess.
Struggling against the kind of character you
have is merely exhausting.
It is not possible
to successfully resolve to change one’s own character.
Q:
Is
it possible to alter the character of another person?
A:
No. It is not possible to change someone else’s
character through your own efforts.
It is impossible to force someone to change their
own character themselves.
It is vanity to attempt to change the character
of another person.
It is pointless to assign blame to others because
of their character.
Rebuking others for their character is fruitless
because they did nothing to acquire it. They have no power to
change it.
Acceptance is the
only action to take against another person’s character.
Q:
Is
it possible to shape a child’s character?
A:
No. Children are born possessing a character.
Children are established
persons and not potential persons. They therefore have a “character”.
Q:
Does
character change?
A:
Yes. Character changes naturally and without
any human assistance.
Changes in character cannot be prevented from
occurring.
The timing and nature
of changes in character are predictable.
Q:
Is
it possible to adjust character to suit different situations?
A:
No. It is not possible to manipulate character.
It is necessary to alter the situation in order
to avoid conflict between character and environment.
Knowledge of your
character enables you to adjust your environment most appropriately.
Q:
How
can interpersonal relations be optimized?
A:
Characters in the context of relations are considered
to be neither good nor bad but simply as compatible or incompatible.
No character is universally incompatible. A character,
which is incompatible with one partner, may be perfectly compatible
with another partner having a different character.
Character differences between two people may
wax and wane according to individual character development.
Character differences may only be completely
eliminated by finding another partner who possesses a compatible
character.
Knowledge of a partner’s character does
not eliminate character differences but facilitates gaining an
understanding of the basis for their decisions. Partners may not
be appeased but they may be at peace with their differences.
Struggling with incongruous
characters will not resolve the differences but magnify them.
Q:
How
do energetic parameters contribute to character?
A:
The balance of energy in every system is in a
constant state of flux. Every human has an overabundance of energy
at the beginning of life. This energy is utilized to maintain
the trajectory of development.
This energy is a
finite quantity. It may eventually be depleted. When the energy
of the system is exactly balanced at point zero, the individual
is expending the same amount of energy that they consume. When
the organism is experiencing an energy deficit it is possible
to recharge the system with energy from the environment without
the organism having to process it by implementing sociological
power or position.
