BRENT SILBY Presents Persistence of Memes Understanding the science of memetics What is a Meme? Meme talk is becoming common, but many people do not really know what a meme is. This short article offers a tangible definition, and predicts where future research might take us. Evolution of Technology: Exposing the Myth of Creative Design In this e-paper, I use the evolutionary algorithm to account for the existence of technology. In doing so, I call into question the idea of human creativity and claim that it is an illusion. Memecosystems: Are Animal Minds Suitable Habitats for Memes? Milk-bottle opening behavior in a species of bird known as the British tit has been put forward as an example of a meme in a non-human animal. In this e-paper I argue that milk-bottle opening behavior in the British tit is not memetic and is better explained by appealing to its innate behavioral repertoire.

Benzon of ``The Electric Meme: A New Theory of How We Think'' by Robert Aunger, The Free Press, 2002, ISBN 0743201507. Dawkins had little to say about just where one might look in the brain to find memes and other memeticists have been content to follow him in that. Robert Aunger, an anthropologist at the University of Cambridge, believes that it is time memeticists end their agnosticism on this matter. To that purpose he has written The Electric Meme. It is best viewed as two books. One book is comprised of the first six chapters, which are preparatory in nature, reviewing the current state of memetics, alternative analyses of human cultural evolution, types of replicator (DNA, prions, computer viruses), and the physical nature of information. This book is competent, interesting, and thought provoking. The second book sets forth Aunger's new theory of neuromemetics. It differs from the first as night from day. For reasons that I cannot fathom, when Aunger begins constructing his neural model he sheds the discipline of Dr. Jekyll in favor of the random muttering of Mr. Hyde. This second book is a failure. Aunger's ideas are vague, incoherent, and contradictory. Trying to infuse his phrases and sentences with meaning made me feel like Hercules fighting the many-headed Hydra. Every time Hercules cut one head off, two or three others sprung up to replace it. Every time I've tried to patch one of Aunger's coherence-leaks I've had to entertain a handful of improbable assertions to make the one patch plausible. I cannot recommend this second book to anyone for any purpose.

47. What Is A Meme Idea Replication Systems Thought Virus Marketing Communications memetics is vital to the understanding of cults, ideologies, and marketing The new science of marketing is all about memetics, memetic engineering, http://intelegen.com/meme/meme.htm

A meme (pronounced "meem") I s an idea that replicates by symbiotically infecting human minds and altering their behavior, causing them to propagate the meme similar to the way a t-phage virus reproduces by hijacking the DNA of a bacterium. Unlike a virus, which is encoded in DNA molecules, a meme is nothing more than a pattern of information, one that happens to have evolved a form which induces people to repeat that pattern. The information pattern is held in an individual's memory, which is capable of being copied to another individual's memory. Individual slogans, ideas, catch-phrases, melodies, icons, inventions, and fashion are typical memes. W hether memes can be considered true life forms or not is a topic of some debate, but this is irrelevant: they behave in a way similar to life forms, allowing us to combine the analytical techniques of epidemiology, evolutionary science, immunology, linguistics, and semiotics, into an extremely effective system known as "memetics". Rather than debate the inherent "truth" or lack of "truth" in an idea, memetics is largely concerned with how that idea itself gets replicated. Memetics is vital to the understanding of cults, ideologies, and marketing campaigns of all kinds, and it provides the best immunity from dangerous information-contagions. It is also about protecting yourself from bad ones.

About Current Issue Past Issues History ... Submissions Note: this website is still under construction! Refer to the old JoM-EMIT site for more details. The Journal of Memetics-Evolutionary Models of Information Transmission (JoM-EMIT) is an international, peer-refereed, scientific journal. It is intended as a forum for academics and professionals to discuss their research on the spread of information from an evolutionary point of view. The journal is published on the web without subscription fee, proposing two issues per year since 1997 (see the history . Since 2005, the journal is edited by Francis Heylighen, assisted by the managing editor Klaas Chielens. The general policy is determined by the editorial and advisory boards , including many of the experts in the domain. Subject Domain: Memetics In the words of of its inventor, Richard Dawkins, the word "meme" refers to "a unit of cultural transmission, or a unit of imitation". More precisely, a meme can be defined as an information pattern, held in an individual's memory or in an outside artefact (e.g. book, record or tool), which is likely to be communicated or copied to another individual's memory. Examples of memes are ideas, technologies, theories, songs, fashions, and traditions. This covers all forms of beliefs, values and behaviors that are normally taken over from others rather than discovered independently. Memetics is the theoretical and empirical science that studies the replication, spread and evolution of memes. It core idea is that memes differ in their degree of "fitness", i.e. adaptation to the socio-cultural environment in which they propagate. Because of natural selection, fitter memes will be more successful in being communicated, "infecting" a larger number of individuals and/or surviving for a longer time within the population. Memetics tries to understand what characterizes fit memes, and how they affect individuals, organizations, cultures and society at large.

49. How Can We Die If We Do Not Exist? Explanation of memetics by analogy of computers. http://home.ntelos.net/~write/memes.html

HOW CAN WE DIE If We Are Not Alive A new word is in our language... The word 'meme' (pronounced 'meem') has been added to the Oxford English Dictionary, with the definition: 'A self-replicating element of culture, passed on by imitation'. The term was first used in 1976 by Professor Richard Dawkins, Animal Behaviorist at the University of Oxford. But, how is that of special interest to us? Let's continue... The following discussion is meant to be explanatory rather than step-by-step rigorous. It draws on ideas from computer technology and artificial intelligence as widely understood by the general public, now that personal computers are sold at Walmart. Before the software pattern of instructions is added to the hardware, a computer is just an inert piece of junk, good only as a doorstop. The added software provides the operational patterns, but has no physical existence. The uneducated human brain without life experience at birth is capable only of instinctive reaction to environmental stress. Otherwise, it is comparable to the computer doorstop just mentioned. The dynamic, interactive program which processes input to and creates output from the human brain is the human mind, which exists only in virtual reality.

Your browser does not support script, this website is javascript dependant, you'll be able to view the paper using the page links, but that is all. A Novel Approach Toward A Comprehensive Theory of Genetics And Memetics. Authorship by: Tyler Jordan What is neobiology and ethetics? The neobiological model is an analysis of existing biological and memetic theory and presents a new way of looking at living systems and even consciousness itself. It indicates that all living systems, genetic and memetic belong to the realm of biology. The neobiologic model streamlines and simplifies many research and educational models by allowing the social sciences (psychology, sociology, politics, etc.) to be folded into biology and the redundancies and communication barriers between fields can be eliminated as this neo-biological model is further developed and fleshed out. Those that study this new model will advantage themselves by learning many other fields concurrently due to neobiology's ability to unify scientific fields, thus enabling them to comprehend the nature of the entire forest as opposed to a single patch of trees at a time, as allowed by the contemporary 'tower of babel' approach. When one can see the rows between the trees, one can more easily navigate their way through the forest.
