The Beginning of Heaven and Earth Has No Name


Book Description

Heinz von Foerster was the inventor of second-order cybernetics, which recognizes the investigator as part of the system he is investigating. The Beginning of Heaven and Earth Has No Name provides an accessible, nonmathematical, and comprehensive overview of von Foerster’s cybernetic ideas and of the philosophy latent within them. It distills concepts scattered across the lifework of this scientific polymath and influential interdisciplinarian. At the same time, as a book-length interview, it does justice to von Foerster’s élan as a speaker and improviser, his skill as a raconteur. Developed from a week-long conversation between the editors and von Foerster near the end of his life, this work playfully engages von Foerster in developing the difference his notion of second-order cybernetics makes for topics ranging from emergence, life, order, and thermodynamics to observation, recursion, cognition, perception, memory, and communication. The book gives an English-speaking audience a new ease of access to the rich thought and generous spirit of this remarkable and protean thinker.

In the Beginning!


Book Description

My name is Ed Pal and I am a Bible believer. I am a believer because the Bible is the only Word that reveals the Truth of the Creator in relation to His creatures. I wrote this book to exhort the readers to be aware of the importance of acknowledging the Truth of the Bible. I know! The Truth and the lie have become so mixed up these days that we cannot distinguish which is which anymore! We got so used to the lie that it became part of our daily life. We like so much to lie that we fell in love with it! We love so much to lie that if we don’t lie, we feel uncomfortable. We love so much to lie that we even lie to ourselves! We love so much to lie, that we lie even if it is not convenient. And to lie is always not convenient, because it causes only troubles. Even though we love to lie to others, we hate that others are lying to us. Even so, we don’t like to hear the Truth, either! But contrary to all this confusion, The Truth of the Bible will free us from the woes to come. (Rev. 8: 13) I believe that there is no creation without the Creator, and no Truth without the Truth of the Bible! And the Truth reveals that intelligent life can only proceed from intelligent life! And so, since the intelligent creation reveals the Intelligent Creator, whoever neglects or ignores the revelation of the Word, on the Judgement Day, will have no justification before the Throne of God! God Bless Us All!
