Please recommend to me the simplest primer for understanding the meaning of circuit diagrams or schematics (I don’t even know if there is a difference.

I am learning them for a very weird reason.

Stafford Beer uses circuit diagram like notation in his management cybernetics diagrams, obviously as a kind of metaphor. I am trying to get a grounding in the reality he bases the metaphor in to better follow his logic.

The last time I worked with circuits was in shop class. I am now of the age to need reading glasses. So I probably need a light refresher on basic concepts, too.
