This document appears to be page 19 of a larger text (likely a book or essay) included in a House Oversight production (stamped HOUSE_OVERSIGHT_016822). The text analyzes the legacy of mathematician Norbert Wiener, discussing both his failure to predict the hardware revolution (transistors/integrated circuits) and his successful insights into Cybernetics, feedback loops, and information theory. It details his work during WWII on anti-aircraft fire, his connection to Alan Turing's ideas, and his recruitment of Warren McCulloch and Walter Pitts to MIT to work on artificial neural networks.
