Modern problems in biocybernetics

In 1999, V. L. Ginzburg published a seminal article on the challenges in physics and astrophysics, where he uniquely addressed the issue of totalitarianism in science. He specifically discussed Lysenkoism, which not only shaped a dominant scientific direction but also triggered strong opposition to emerging fields such as genetics and cybernetics, both of which were labeled "pseudosciences" and subjected to political persecution. A similar pattern has emerged in the case of cybernetics and biocybernetics. Today, the contributions of N. A. Bernstein, W. Weaver, and the Eskov-Zinchenko effect are often dismissed or ignored, despite their potential to advance biomedicine, psychology, and ecology beyond what genetics and cybernetics have achieved. What are these overlooked scientific facts? What new science did Weaver envision? And what is the key message of our study? We explore these questions and present our findings.
