86. Structure Of Memes The main criticism that can be raised against the memetic approach is that memes are difficult to define. What are the elements or units that make up a meme? Does a meme correspond to a complete symphony, or to a symphonic movement, a melody, a musical phrase, or even a single note? http://pespmc1.vub.ac.be/MEMSTRUC.html

Structure of memes Modelling meme units The main criticism that can be raised against the memetic approach is that memes are difficult to define. What are the elements or units that make up a meme? Does a meme correspond to a complete symphony, or to a symphonic movement, a melody, a musical phrase, or even a single note? In order to model meme structure, we may use some concepts from cognitive science. Perhaps the most popular unit used to represent knowledge in artificial intelligence is the production rule. It has the form "if condition, then action". In symbols: If A, then B or A represents a condition that is distinguished, B represents an action that is executed or another condition that is activated. The action leads in general to the activation of another condition. In fact a production rule can be analysed as a combination of even more primitive elements: two distinctions (which discriminate between presence and absence of the condition and the action respectively) and a connection (the "then" part, which makes the first distinction entail the second one) (Heylighen, 1991d; see also Heylighen, 1990). For example, a meme like "God is omnipotent" can be modelled as "if a phenomenon is God (distinction of God from non-God), then that phenomenon is omnipotent". A similar model applies to genes. A gene corresponds to a string of DNA codons, which respond to the presence of certain activating proteins, or the absence of certain inhibiting proteins (condition) by manufacturing new proteins (action). This may in turn activate further genes, depending on the present of specific chemicals in the cell, and so on. This leads to complex networks of "if... then" productions ( Kauffmann, 1992).

87. Memetics Collection of links and essays about memes ideas and concepts viewed as living organisms. Includes sections on memetic theory, examples and applications, controversial issues, a lexicon and a brief bibliography. http://aleph.se/Trans/Cultural/Memetics/

Transhuman Page Cultural Sphere Memetics Memetics is the study of ideas and concepts viewed as "living" organisms, capable of reproduction and evolution in an " Ideosphere " (similar to the Biosphere) consisting of the collective of human minds. Memes reproduce by spreading to new hosts, who will spread them further (typical examples are jokes, catchphrases or politicial ideas). At present memetics is somewhat controversial. Partly this is due to misunderstandings about what it means, leading to claims that it excludes human free will, creativity and progress, and that it is bad science. This will likely change in time, as the field matures. Sections Memetic Theory Examples of memetics Debate Individual Memes ...

Science The Guardian Profile: Edward O Wilson Darwin's natural heir Hailed as a genius of modern science, he's also been accused of racism in a vicious debate over evolution. Ed Douglas on the former Southern Baptist who found clues to human behaviour in the ways of the humble ant and is now focusing on the battle to save the planet Tweet this Ed Douglas The Guardian Saturday 17 February 2001 The discovery that humans have only 30,000 genes has been portrayed in some sections of the press as a victory for free will. If we've got fewer genes, if there's less nature, the argument runs, then nurture must take up the slack, right? Perhaps because few of us know what a gene actually does, the debate about whether we are a product of our DNA or our environment rumbles on. The truth is that the two are intimately connected. It's not nature or nurture, it's both, together. In Proverbs, King Solomon had some advice for those rushing into print with ill-informed opinions: "Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise." This is exactly what Edward O. Wilson has done, man and boy, for more than 65 years. He more than anyone understands the relationship between genes and culture and it started with his ants.
