This document appears to be page 39 of a philosophical essay or manuscript found in the House Oversight files (Bates stamp 016842). The text discusses the evolution of decentralized control systems, tracing a path from the Cold War defense system SAGE to airline reservation systems (Sabre), and finally to modern social networks and data mining (implicitly Facebook and Google). The author theorizes on 'laws of artificial intelligence,' citing cybernetician W. Ross Ashby and mathematician John von Neumann to argue that complex systems cannot be reduced to simple descriptions and eventually begin to control the 'meaning' they were meant to map.
