Summary/Abstract: The aim of the text is to interpret Witold Wirpsza’s experimental novel Wagary, with particular emphasis on science inspirations that have been overlooked in previous analyses. Reading selected fragments of the novel in the context of the author’s self-referential statements regarding concepts such as noise, information and word energy, makes it possible to see that the terms borrowed from cybernetics can describe the tension between the organising and disorganising properties of Witold Wirpsza’s work.
