Abstract: This study addresses the problems involving the adaptation of cybernetic models to operational realities. More precisely, three epistemological views are in turn investigated so as to determine the problems regarding information transfer between a model and the real world. Of the three epistemologies under investigation: realism, a priorism, and phenomenology, the latter demonstrates the most promise in terms of opening up operational possibilities for the model, but introduces problems involving the adaptation of the model to the reality. © 1991 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
