CYBERNETIC LINEAGE
1943 // McCulloch & Pitts
“A Logical Calculus of Ideas Immanent in Nervous Activity” — Mapping thought into formal threshold switches.
1948 // Wiener & Cybernetics
Self-correcting feedback loops. Tracking fire against shifting winds: intelligence as continuous error reduction.
1950 // Grey Walter Tortoises
Elmer & Elsie: analog thermionic valves sensing light, navigating around obstacles with no pre-programmed map.
1956-1980 // Dartmouth & AI Winters
The formal logic detour: attempting to hand-code reality into static rules. Brittleness collapses against open-world drift.
2020s // Accelerating Deep Recursion
Self-reflective attention, gradient descent on continuous feedback, closing the sensorimotor loop.
