Inspired by cybernetic ecology + distributed control mechanisms, the internet’s architects believed interconnection would lead to harmonious self-organization. 

50 years later, the internet is a monoculture.

In the meantime, the cybernetic paradigm has been overturned by non-mechanistic views of nature. How might these inform the cultivation of a 
healthier internet?
