Introduction

This page collects (in reverse chronological order) some brief notices of all the events related to the Cybernetica Mesopotamica project.

Although the Cybernetica Mesopotamica project officially started in 2022, this page reports even some earlier notices, since many of the previous events are in a way related to the later project, clearly exemplifying how the main features and trajectories of the project have been deeply rooted in time.

The links below each title redirect to the relevant section(s) in this website where the specific event is described.
