Abstract
This text serves as a very short description of the main points of my theory of cybernetics as a new organon, a new "schema of intelligibility" and not a discipline that started in the 1940s and practically died out in the 1970s. Here I outline the birth of cybernetics in the 19th century with the synchronization of clocks in train-stations; the details of its logic and the characteristics of the cybernetic devices. Next I lay down, in brief, the philosophical tenets of the network model I have developed to analyze the appropriation of the cybernetic logic by capitalism and its use in planetary control.
