Engineering has been undergoing a profound transformation in the last 50 years, going from a discipline which dealt primarily with matter and energy, to one which deals with knowledge processing. This change in engineering is so fundamental that it requires a new term to describe the discipline. Rhythmeering is that term.

Rhythmeering can be defined as the application of science and mathematics by which information representing reality — the properties of matter and the sources of energy in nature and complex products — is made useful to human beings. Rhythmeering is an evolving discipline intended to unify all aspects of interacting with matter, energy and information. As such it is both an artistic and a technical discipline.
