All organisms are already cybernetic, making ‘cyborg’ redundant

Evidence

If cyborgianism is oriented towards a maintenance and reproduction of the organism and its homeostatic control circuitries, Cyberpunk or k-punk (one of the motivations for the “k” btw is the origin of the word “cyber” in the Greek “kuber’) flees towards a cybernetics of organic disassembly. … You don’t disassemble the human organism by replacing its parts with metal or silicon components. (That’s why the term “cyborg” — or “cybernetic organism” is misleadingly redundant. All organisms are already cybernetic). What matters is the overall organisation of the parts. Do the parts operate as hierarchically organised and functionally-specified “organs” within a cybernegatively construed interiority or do they operate as deterritorialised potentials pulling from/towards the Outside? — Mark Fisher (edited by Darren Ambrose), K-Punk, 2329

Categorization

• DEFINE: Redefines cyberpunk’s disassembly as reorganizational rather than prosthetic, and exposes ‘cybernetic organism’ as tautological.
• QUESTION: By what measure does Fisher distinguish hierarchical ‘organs’ from deterritorialized potentials without collapsing back into description of arrangement alone?
• corroborated: 2 independent passages support this claim — Mark Fisher (edited by Darren Ambrose), K-Punk: The Collected and Unpublished…, 2329
