We are now in the third issue of the second volume. Those who truly wish to support this journal should pay their subscription for the 3. vol. now by sending a check to the editor and publisher. This issue is delayed, so this volume will end with this year and the new volume will start with 1995 and volumes from now on will follow the year.
We have added a new subtitle to the journal: A Journal of Second Order Cybernetics & Cyber-Semiotics to underline that we are the core journal of second order cybernetics, and that one of the ideas behind the words: Cybernetics & Human Knowing in the title is to investigate the relationship between second order cybernetics and semiotics. I have christened this field Cyber-Semiotics. To underline this project I have asked the semiotician Thomas Sebeok to join the editorial board, which he kindly accepted. We have further the honour that Mary Catherine Bateson and Peter Bøgh-Andersen (Århus University, Denmark) have also joined the editorial board.
In the present issue Erwin Laszlo is writing about his new theory of a remembering universe.
Louis Kaufmann writes about games, metagames and knot-logics as a way to investigate some of the basic questions of second order cybernetics.
Dan Bar-On writes about how we create inner maps to find our way through the world. He discusses the nature of and differences between these maps and the possibilities for communication between them. From examples of finding our way in the "outer physical world" he goes on to use the developed concepts to understand the various ways patients try to cope after a heart attack.
We have a book review and some notes from praxis. The "Cyber Punks" - a combination of cybernetic poems and computer graphics - are created by Erik Ullman.
