not from their institutional affiliations. Brockman, on the strength of his trilogy, was summoned at the last minute to replace the keynote speaker Richard Feynman, who had been hospitalized. Later, in New York, on a visit to Brockman in New York, Bateson told him, ficeThe cybernetic idea is the most important
rminacy, and the third investigates the limits of words as tools for understanding. When Heinz von Foerster, an architect of cybernetics, along with Warren McCulloch, Norbert Wiener, and John von Neumann, reviewed the trilogy in 1973, he commented: Brockman takes the mystery of language and puts it right back in
