things to fight off infections.

It creates custom anti-bodies to attack foreign microbes.
Custom living cells created through a system of feedback to spot that
there was a problem, analysis of the problem, action on the problem.

This is a life-sustaining feedback 'homeostatic' loop.

[bracket comments are mine]
When Stafford Beer says Cyberstride needed to filter 'homeostatic loops':

*   "The Human Use of Human Beings - Cybernetics and Society"
*   by Norbert Wiener, 1954, pre-ISBN
*  
*   The process [such as that employed by our nervous system] by which we
*   living beings resist the general stream of corruption and decay is
*   known as homeostasis.

Stayin' alive, stayin' alive...

So, "statistical filtration for all homeostatic loops" means one is checking
on the health of the monitored system.

The cybernetician uses the same language for feedback of weapons systems
(picking out a submarine from the background noise of the ocean) as they
do for describing human life, as they do for the political organization
of a country.

Like I said, an awesome scope.

Norbert Wiener even came up with a physics-based
description of how life is formed by information.

Check it out. Hang in there too, it's worth it.

*   "Platform for Change", by Stafford Beer, 1978, ISBN 0 471 06189 1
*  
*   The term 'entropy' began life as a subtle measure of energy flow.
*  
*   When something hotter is systemically bound to something cooler, the
*   greater energy of the hotter stuff migrates---inexorably migrates---
*   into the cooler stuff. This is one manifestation of the Second Law of
*   Thermodynamics, which everyone of education has encountered.
*
*   This is sometimes referred to as 'the universe is running down'.

Okay, '
