10 Mar confidence
Confidence in cybernetics is a measure of belief or credibility. Confidence factors constitute a continuum of possible answers that provide more robust processing possibilities than the “yes or no” dichotomy. By using confidence factors, answers that may fall within a gray area can be achieved where a dichotomous approach would actually provide wrong answers as often as not.
