Domain-specific¶
- Requirements Churn
- Stripped of project-management vocabulary, the mechanic is the reference signal varies faster than the controller's tracking bandwidth, so the controlled variable cannot follow it — setpoint tracking under a bandwidth-limited controller — and that same pattern reappears, as mechanism rather than metaphor, in cognition (attention switching faster than working memory can consolidate), biology (thermoregulation when ambient temperature swings faster than the homeostatic loop), public policy (voter preferences shifting faster than the electoral cycle can register them), markets (order flow churning faster than price discovery's settling time), pedagogy (curriculum redesign faster than teacher development can absorb), and machine learning (target-distribution drift faster than the retraining cadence)

“cybernetics should be considered not merely as a program to be carried out in the future, but as an existing science”

Verification¶
Does it exist? Not checked yet. This work's DOI is recorded above but has not been resolved against an external catalogue, so nothing here confirms the work exists.
Does it back the claim? Read against the text for 1 of 1 citation: 1 supported in part. Each verdict is shown under its citation below, with what in the work backs the sentence.
Support is checked per citation rather than per work — the same source can be cited soundly in one article and wrongly in another. Per-citation recording began recently, so a citation with no recorded check is a gap in the record rather than evidence it went unchecked.
