Heart pacemakers are probably the closest we have to an actual prevalent electronic alteration of body

Yeah, but it keeps a failing part of it from failing even earlier. If you mean the word as a complete body change that keeps you immortal, that's not ever gonna happen. Obsolecence comes much faster than death.

True but the measure of complexity for a given structure is not just robustness, but also generative entrenchment. The more a structure evolves, the more the past and existing constraints are entrenched, to the point that sometimes change in the colloquial sense becomes untenable

Think of a very simplistic example. Building a wall, so you lay the first layer of the bricks, then next and next. Now as you move upward you realize how the bricks are structured, and the way you are limited to only a certain kinds of actions or architectural configurations.

No I wasn't talking about the development of cybernetics but the claims that positive feedback loops can suddenly change something. Cybernetics is a subset of complexity and computational sciences. It used to be regarded as the inter-science paradigm but that's no longer the case

Not really cybernetics to be honest. But if you want complexity sciences, I have some suggestions.
