“…Joke by the Author Now that some basic terms about cybernetic systems have been put down, let's try to add some other concepts and move into the concept of interface. Interface is a largely multidimensional (and applied to multiple layers, for an intuition of multilayer systems [49,16,31,30]) concept, possibly the most selfsimilar (fractal) concept that emerged from scientific research and applied science in the Information Era. This is its most common usage: "interface (n.) 1874, "a plane surface regarded as the common boundary of two bodies," from inter-+ face (n.).…”

Human activities are progressively defined by interactions with products that embed increasingly higher levels of immaterial component (software, patents, design principles and patterns). After presenting the continuity between seminal concepts in Cybernetics, Information Theory, Network Analysis, AI practices on one side and cognitive behaviour by leveraging a minimalist approach to cybernetic systems based on the concept of capacity of network; the text tries to establish continuity between networks represented as graphs, pattern recognition/decision-making and the concept of interface to define logical rule-based automata like: a rule-based descriptive construct for an 'economy of information exchange' between systems (or an 'economy of time'), a rule-based framework for approaching the hard problem of consciousness. These are critical waypoints in navigating fast-growing knowledge-intensive landscapes. This review into patterns of growing complexity is concluded with an hypothesis that aims to extend Ashby's definition of machine to include interfaces.

“…The concept of interface can be understood well by reading the contribution to complex systems in terms of boundaries of a system as defined in [7]. Interface is a largely multidimensional (and applied to multiple layers, for an intuition of multilayer systems [50,17,32,31]) concept, possibly the most self-similar (fractal) concept that emerged from scientific research and applied science in the Information Era. This is its most common usage: "interface (n.) 1874, "a plane surface regarded as the common boundary of two bodies," from inter-+ face (n.).…”

Review of concepts and related elaborations based on historical research and experience working with Internet-based services. Independently lead research on different interpretations around the philosophical background for global communication networks and related phenomena such as changes in practices and techniques related to adoption of Artificial Neural Networks at scale in research and industry. In particular, after presenting a minimalist approach to cybernetic systems based on the concept of capacity of network, the text tries to establish continuity between networks represented as graphs, pattern recognition/decision-making, the concept of Interface and its applications in different disciplines. Finally, hypothesis are presented for a descriptive ’economy of information exchange’ between systems (or an ’economy of time’) and its role in navigating fast-growing knowledge-intensive landscapes.
