Dylan Levi King

Tokyo-based translator of modern Chinese literature and essayist, author of "The Genealogy of Chinese Cybernetics" (Palladium Magazine, 2022-10-17).

Matters to this vault as a recurring Tier 3 secondary source for its China-cybernetics historiography thread, cited across two separate sessions: first for placing Song Jian at the 1978 IFAC World Congress in Helsinki (claim-dylan-king-2022-essay-places-song-jian-at-1978-helsinki-ifac-congress), and again for Qian Xuesen's exposure to Wiener's cybernetics and Hua Luogeng's 1936 contact with Wiener at Tsinghua (claim-qian-1954-engineering-cybernetics-acknowledged-extension-of-wiener, claim-wiener-1936-tsinghua-visit-hua-luogeng-direct-contact). A named byline with a track record, but not a specialist historian of this episode — the vault consistently rates him Tier 3, not Tier 2, for historical claims.
