Mazur attained a professorship in 1954 and later worked on standardizing terminology related to electrical engineering and wrote numerous articles and a book on the subject.

In 1977 Mazur acted as a consultant in the field of artificial intelligence at Rice University.

Mazur became interested in subjects related to control theory and what would later be called cybernetics during World War II.

He also introduced a terminology sufficiently general to describe all such systems and their interactions with their environment.

[3] Mazur's theory of autonomous systems included a formula that described the reactivity of a culture as a ratio of internal reaction to external stimulus where "the value of reactivity is a function of the system's power to transform stimuli into reactions".
