Good point, Selil, and that jibes with my recollection of Wiener. However, I think that some of Batesons' latter work in the area (e.g. Angels Fear), gives a good idea of how Wiener's original model should be expanded along biological analog lines (Wiener was way too mechanistic IMO). In some ways, Gibson's version of "cyber" takes this line and runs with it....

Part of teh reason why I consider disambigulation so important is that it lets us get to the underlying analogs more easily and, from there, to the underlying perceptual topology.
