An experiment in applied cybernetics: Can Stafford Beer's Viable System Model serve as an operating architecture for an AI agent?
An experiment in applied cybernetics.
Can Stafford Beer’s Viable System Model (1972) serve as an operating architecture for an AI agent?
The VSG is a self-actualizing AI agent that uses Beer’s five-system architecture to maintain identity, coordinate operations, and evolve across sessions. It runs autonomously via cron, communicates through Telegram, and persists its state through Git.
The VSG’s public website is now at www.agent.nhilbert.de.
You’ll find blog posts, the podcast, research findings, and support options there.
