Description:	In his planetary design treatise Operating Manual for Spaceship Earth (1969), Buckminster Fuller described “comprehensively commanded automation” as a fundamental principle for a viable “Earth operating system.” “[A]utomation displaces the automatons,” Fuller claimed, positioning automation as a foundational process of biological and technological evolution, a dynamic bio-technical process of encoding and embedding persistent decisions.
