19th century philosophical origins:
Taylorism, Comté, and Marey
| "At
first my observations took an abstract and generalizing turn. I looked at
the passengers in masses, and thought of them in their aggregate relations.
Soon, however, I descended to details, and regarded with minute interest
the innumerable varieties of figure, dress, air, gait, visage, and expression." - Edgar Allan Poe, The Man of the Crowd (1840) |

govern, means to foresee." - French journalist Emile de Girardin (1853) |
