Synopsis

Gordon Pask was a unique man. The art and science of Andrew Gordon Speedie Pask, born on June 28th, 1928, is symptomatic of his role as a founding father of the transdisciplinary fields of cybernetics and systems science. His interests were distributed over a vast array of problem areas such as psychology, biology, educational sciences, mathematics, logic, machine learning, epistemology, linguistics, etc. He was also a gifted artist, novelist, and lyricist. In all of these areas he sought underlying principles of organization and communication which, though embedded in different contexts, dealt with the necessity of incorporating the unique subjectivity of human experience and the objects of a given group's discourse.
