Abstract
It is not always given to human beings to live, as we do today, in an era of transition, trembling on the threshhold of an unknown Tomorrow. Nor is it an altogether comfortable feeling. From time to time a Huxley foretells A Brave New World or a George Orwell gives us his Nineteen Eighty-Four. Certain recent and not unrelated developments in mathematics may well furnish a clue to the future. I refer to the contributions of Nicolas Rashevsky and others to the creation of a mathematical sociology; to the work of von Neumann and Morgenstern; and to the science of cybernetics, heralded by Nor bert Wiener, and more widely known as communication processes in animals and machines.
