The main question we intend to investigate is the following: Can we assert the existence of a theory of knowledge, an epistemology, developed by Gilbert Simondon (1924-1989) that underpins his theses on physical, vital, psychic, collective, and technical individuation? From this, we can derive two other important questions: Assuming that this epistemology exists, would it be closer to a historical interpretation of the concept of the individual or to the concepts inherent in the first cybernetics? How would it relate to the concepts of form, information, structure, and operation? The pertinence of this investigation arises from several factors, such as the recent publication of texts by Simondon dating back to the 1950s and recent historical studies on the Macy Conferences. Therefore, few comments and interpretations have addressed the relationship between a theory of knowledge based on the first cybernetics conferences, which span from 1946 to 1953, and the core concepts of Simondon's theses, which began to be developed in 1952 and culminated in the two theses in 1958.
