“…Using the energy model of general systems, it can be shown that ideal closed systems are completely safe [22][23][24][25]. However, information on such systems cannot be obtained in reality, so their existence has not been proven.…”

An important problem in our world is that humanity’s energy consumption is constantly rising. Therefore, nowadays there is an increasing emphasis on the problem of reusability and efficient energy management. The present paper studies the energy sustainability of systems by developing a unique test model. Using this test model, the theoretical problems of closed systems are investigated. With a theoretical experiment, the temporal motion of rigid systems is monitored and the behavior of flexible systems is analyzed. Finally, the study of the energy interaction of the general system and its environment shows the basic condition for the system’s overall sustainability.

“…As a part of this process, we recommend that universities/HEIs apply the proposed cybernetic model of the university's/HEI's transition to sustainability. The designed model can be easily followed and the organisational development and operating processes can be easily updated due to the built-in cybernetic control system made possible by the cybernetic loop, which together with the built-in systems thinking approach, can lead to the transition of the university/HEI to sustainability [97,98].…”

As the importance of the transition to sustainable development is increasingly recognised by individuals, organisations, and society as a whole, there is a growing need to examine its impact at micro-, meso-, and macro-levels. There is an urgent imperative to ensure the sustainability of growing economic inequalities, a degraded environment, and people living in uneven conditions in different societies. The authors, therefore, highlight the strategic role and essential contribution of organisations, and universities/higher education institutions in particular, in achieving sustainable development and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Universities/higher education institutions play a key role in fostering entrepreneurship and innovation, and they form the crucial architecture of contemporary practices in national economies and beyond. Policy makers, university/higher education institution governors, managers, and professors shape students and create new social contexts, and these must be oriented towards sustainability. This paper aims to explore the strategic role of organisations, in particular, universities/higher education institutions, as a key link between personal and social responsibility and, thus, as a powerful enabler of sustainable development. The authors examine the strategic transition to sustainability of two higher education institutions, the University of Maribor and the University of Economics—Varna, and conduct a qualitative case study research to develop a cybernetic model of the university’s/higher education institution’s transition to sustainability, which reflects the organisation’s growing commitment to achieving the Sustainability Development Goals. The model includes seven successive stages: pre-awareness, awareness, focusing, implementation, reaching out, transparency and disclosure, and continuous improvement. The study shows that sustainable development, i.e., sustainability governance, management, and operations, are indispensable for implementing the strategic concept of sustainability in an organisation and for achieving the strategic transition to sustainability as explained in the proposed cybernetic model.

The former energy-wasting lifestyles of developed societies can no longer be sustained. In our age, efficiency is the key to continued sustainability. Increasing efficiency requires the use of infocommunication systems and their regulation. Regulatory modeling is based on the cybernetic loops model. The systems are not closed, so they are constantly suffering from environmental disturbances. External interference can also come from a human resource that covertly exploits the technological and psychic elements of the system to achieve its own goals. Social engineering is also such an intervention. The aims of the present study are to draw a parallel between cybernetic loops and social engineering, then to define social engineering on the cybernetic base.
