'Metasystem Transition Theory (MSTT) is the name we have given our
particular cybernetic philosophy. Its most salient concept is, of course,
the Metasystem Transition (MST), the evolutionary process by which higher
levels of complexity and control are generated. But it also includes our
views on philosophical problems, and makes predictions about the possible
future of mankind and life. Our goal is to create, on the basis of
cybernetic concepts, an integrated philosophical system, or "world view",
proposing answers to the most fundamental questions about the world,
ourselves, and our ultimate values.'
