Synopsis: Galison, Peter - Ontology of the Enemy
During the Second World War the mathematican Norbert Wiener focused his research on the defense of airplane attacks, his method for this was a device called "antiaircraft (AA) predictor" with that he tries to forecast the future movement of a pilot/airplane for an attack of a antiaircraft. This research was the beginning for a discipline known after the war as "cybernetics" and, "... became, for Wiener, the model for a cybernetic understanding of the universe itself."
Gallison describes that in the SWW a new type of enemy emerged - a "cold-blooded, machinelike opponent" - developed in the research institution around the USA and Britian. For this development three disciplines were essential: operartion research, game theory and cybernetics.
