Diagrams can be understood as a strategy to deal with the structural complexity of the apparatus, enabling the creation of new games.

Following Flusser’s challenge, the paper claims that cybernetic diagrams are meta-tools for designing new rule systems.

question

how do diagrams relate to this play with apparatus?
answered_by
Explicit question posed by Veloso to frame the investigation of cybernetic diagrams as strategies for engaging with black-box devices.

Claims (1)

claim

Parametric design frameworks promote games whose rules remain constrained within authorial domain; participants subsumed to parameters whose plays perform automatically within program space.
contradicts
Veloso's critique of contemporary architecture via Schumacher: loss of open-game potential from cybernetic era.
