Understanding the Cybernetic Model and Hierarchy of Roles

The GPS in cars can be seen as a cybernetic model, similar to a nested hierarchy of roles within an individual's life. The cybernetic model involves knowing where you are, where you're going, and how you'll act to reach your goals. The nested hierarchy of roles ranges from the overarching story of being a good person to specific roles like being a good parent. Each role can be broken down into more concrete actions, such as playing peek-a-boo with a baby, which involves physical interaction rather than conceptual articulation.
