|    RFD: sci.cybernetics    |
|    30 Oct 06 04:05:02    |
      From: pmeuser@cogeco.ca              It seems that the Big-8 and their associates have made a decision to censour       the initiative to establish this group at the present time. Here's the RFD.               REQUEST FOR DISCUSSION (RFD)        unmoderated group sci.cybernetics              This is a formal Request For Discussion (RFD) for the creation of the       unmoderated Usenet newsgroup, sci.cybernetics.                     NEWSGROUPS LINE: sci.cyberetics              Distribution List:       comp.ai       comp.ai.fuzzy       comp.ai.vision       comp.ai.doc-analysis.misc       comp.ai.genetic       comp.cell-automata.theory       comp.ai.edu       comp.ai.alife       comp.robotics.research       alt.comp       alt.comp.convergence       alt.cyberspace              RATIONALE: sci.cybernetics              Cybernetics is the study of communications and control systems. This group       encompasses the science of cybernetics at the degrees in which society       and the humanities form a synergy with technology on the Internet. The       concept of a society or, advancement in the humanities for instance, serves       as the basis of this scool of thought in physiology, biology, economics, and       technology, as serves the basis for this group's existence to survive on the       Internet, as a forum for discussion ranging about control systems and       feed-back loops, to programming machine inteligence and cipher theory as its       aggregates would be modelled, the responsibility of the poster to maintain       interest in messages.              Topics will range from programming/development, to advanced algorithms,       physics, chemistry, ... in picking up from the comp.* sector. The object of       this group is to open up the scientific community to the possibilities that       exist in cybernetics as a means to communicate, control, and model systems       as a 'superior vision' of information technology and its implications.              CHARTER: sci.cybernetics              The focus of this group is the investigation and examination of cybernetics       in a forum for formal research involving cybernetics as a science. The       purpose of this group is to establish the ground set for soc.cybernetics,       humanities.cybernetics. The science of cybernetics focuses on differences       in fields of technological where the development of command and control,       communications, guidance, and vision apply to participants whom can develop       interests in the main areas of cybernetics research in those being,       physiology, biology, economics, and technology. This group promotes       commercial and       scientific awareness generally serving the embetterment of humanity with       technology.              Commercial involvement and synthesis involving, systems theory, algorithms,       heuristic, and engrams       encouraged as the primitives of this group form a base for developing       cybernetics as the object of its subscribers to communicate within       scientific circles       as describes the effective object of threads on this group by the humanities       and society.              MODERATION POLICY: sci.cybernetics              This group is unmoderated.              MODERATOR INFO: news.groups.proposals              This group is unmoderated.              END MODERATOR INFO                     PROCEDURE:              Those who wish to influence the development of this RFD and its       final resolution should subscribe to news:news.groups and participate       in the relevant threads in that newsgroup. This is both a courtesy       to groups in which discussion of creating a new group is off-topic       as well as the best method of making sure that one's comments or       criticisms are heard.              To this end, the followup header of this RFD has been set to news.groups.              All discussion of active proposals should be posted to news.groups.              If desired by the readership of closely affected groups, the discussion may              be       crossposted to those groups, but care must be taken to ensure that all       discussion appears in news.groups as well.              We urge those who would like to read or post in the proposed newsgroup       to make a comment to that effect in this thread; we ask proponents to       keep a list of such positive posts with the relevant message ID       (e.g., Barney Fife, <4JGdnb60fsMzHA7ZnZ2dnUVZ_rWdnZ2d@sysmatrix.net>).       Such lists of positive feedback for the proposal may constitute good       evidence that the group will be well-used if it is created.              For more information on the newsgroup creation process, please see              http://www.big-8.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=policies:creation              PROPONENT:              Patrick Ashley Meuser"-Bianca" |
