In the early days, this discipline was following an opposite direction based on the application of cybernetic methodologies, in particular, through the use of feedback loops and other mechanisms of self-recurrence to understand certain aspect of specific cultures. <br>The technological value of the early Virtual Ethnology, instead of being a mere support and storage medium of manufactures and evidences, it was ment to light up the darkness in certain kind of rituals of proto-historical tribes that were understood as linguistic enginees employing complex self-referential mechanisms to assure the production of meaning over generations. Influenced by the advent of anthropology and sociology and the works of James George Frazer (1980), Sigmunfd Freud (1913), and Marcel Mauss (1925), focusing on rituals and mythological structures, researchers in different disciplines started to observ how these accounts were liable of using subtle systems of control and communication that will be effectively defined only later during the 40s with the birth of Cybernetics. However, fostered by the introduction of pseudo-scientific and occultists reasearches, such as Echidna stillwell's work on Mu's folklore, and the opposition of classical institutions interested in preserving their credibility, will lead to a rupture in the discipline during and the formation of the normalized contemporary approach during the end of the 70s.<br><br>
