A New Homostat,

Abstract

The concept of homeostasis and its relations to control and regulation is briefly discussed and the ideas leading to the concept of the ultrastable hierarchic controller are sketched. Previous electronic realizations of homeostatic controllers are discussed, and a new homeostat is described briefly. The machine, presently under construction, has a number of new and useful features and these are described, together with experiments to be performed when the machine is complete. (Author)
