We welcome back Donal to the show, to talk about a paper he wrote for the new radical journal - The Black Lamp. The paper is called:

‘Viability Guided Decision Making: Modelling organisations using Viability Guided Decision Making’

It’s a very interesting paper which proposes a novel approach to fairly recent developments in cybernetic theory, and applying them to complex social systems. Donal, on top of the book project we are working on, has just completed a masters in System Engineering & Engineering Cybernetics in the Kazan National Research University over in Russia.
