"Cybersyn appears to have enabled limited reallocations of transport capacity and modestly reduced coordination frictions in connected enterprises during the October 1972 strike."
Edwards uses historical industrial production data and counterfactual modelling to investigate whether Cybersyn helped mitigate the strike's economic disruption. The analysis finds suggestive evidence of selective mitigation in government-prioritized sectors, particularly where existing organizational structures and logistics made coordinated intervention feasible, supporting the argument that Cybernet delivered practical benefits during the crisis.
