Abstract

Helping the senile patient is not easy, and treatment today is largely palliative. Recent cybernetic work (Ashby, 2), however, offered a suggestion that some alleviation might be possible. This paper describes briefly the underlying theory and how we investigated the matter clinically. (Only an outline of the theory can be given here.)
