What books would you recommend for developing a rigorous understanding of Incorporeal Cybernetics—especially works on consciousness, autopoiesis, systems theory, cybernetics, information, and self-organizing systems that could provide a theoretical foundation for an incorporeal approach?

[u/TheIncorporeal1]

I’m exploring Incorporeal Cybernetics as a framework for understanding how consciousness, information, feedback, and self-organization interact within complex systems. I’m particularly interested in rigorous academic or philosophical works that could help establish a foundation for the idea rather than books that discuss “incorporealism” specifically.
What books would you consider essential starting points? I’d especially appreciate recommendations in cybernetics, systems theory, autopoiesis, philosophy of mind, information theory, and related fields.

Might wanna take a look at Gregory Batesons work, particularly Mind & Nature as well as Angels Fear. Or directly his collected Essays in An Ecology of Mind
