+== Drawing Homeostats ==
+=== About ===
+In this class we will learn about the homeostat and the mobile homeostat, and how to implement them
+* '''The Homeostat''' — in the 1st part we recreate the homeostat by Ross Ashby in code.
+* '''The Mobile Homeostat'''  — in the 2nd part  we create a drawing machine based on Ashby's Homeostat.
+=== Goals ===
+* Basics of oscillators, synchronisation, and homeostasis
+* Basics of modelling complex systems
+* Programming a drawing-agent based on the ideas of homeostasis and meta-stability
+=== Literature ===
+* William Ross Ashby: [https://archive.org/details/designforbrain00ashb Design for a Brain, 1st edition] (1954)
