Richard Dawkins notes ( in Blackmore 2000: The Meme machine, page 13 ), that Memes can be copied in a Lamarckian way ( copying of the product ) or in a Weismann-type evolutionary way ( copying of the instruction ) which is much more resistant against changes.

Memes that replicate most effectively enjoy more success, and some may replicate effectively even when they prove to be detrimental to the welfare of their hosts.

Memes generally replicate through exposure to humans, who have evolved as efficient copiers of information and behaviour.

Memes, analogously to genes, vary in their aptitude to replicate ; memes that are good at getting themselves copied tend to spread and remain, whereas the less good ones have a higher probability of being ignored and forgotten.

Memes that fit within a successful memeplex may gain acceptance by " piggybacking " on the success of the memeplex.

Memes do this through the processes of variation, mutation, competition and inheritance, each of which influence a meme's reproductive success.

Memes spread through the behaviors that they generate in their hosts.

Memes that propagate less prolifically may become extinct, while others may survive, spread and ( for better or for worse ) mutate.

Memes spread by the behaviors that they generate in their hosts.

Memes spread in cognitive transmission do not count as self-replicating.

Memes play a comparable role in understanding the evolution of imitated behaviors.

Memes, in this sense, are a philosophical method ; they aren't a scientific object.

Memes require only small amounts of material, and therefore have theoretical similarities to viruses and are often described as viral.

According to Beck and Cowan, these conceptual models are organized around so-called < sup > v </ sup > Memes: systems of core values or collective intelligences, applicable to both individuals and entire cultures.

However, Spiral Dynamics does explicitly define a category of people labeled " Spiral Wizards " who have attained equilibrium around " higher level " Memes.

Memes are possibly the best example of viral patterns.

The company's website, Cracked. com, continued on and has become known for its humorous lists and compilations, for example, " The 9 Most Obnoxious Memes to Ever Escape the Web ", " 6 Bizarre Forms of Discrimination That Can Lose You a Job " A book collection in that vein, You Might be a Zombie, and Other Bad News, was published in 2010.

In the 2010s, the Organization abandoned Joshua, who then joined the Reconstruction after the Eurowar and worked in Quito, Ecuador on the GeoSync Cable and saw with Alice the beginning of the development of memes that would unify all countries and religions, leading to the War of the Memes ( referred to in some of Barnes ' other books ) that culminated in the takeover of Earth by One True.

Alice runs away, and the Organization finds and rehires Joshua to fight in the War of the Memes, for One True.

From Sadi, whom Joshua had met as a woman after the Eurowar and was partnered with when Sadi was male during the War of the Memes, Joshua learns that it's possible to go through the singularity to 1988, when the technology to construct it was first built and put into orbit by the Soviets.

Ideas that encourage the proselytism of a meme, as seen in many religious or political movements, can replicate memes horizontally through a given generation, spreading more rapidly than parent-to-child meme-transmissions do.

Finally, cells that replicate prove that molecular systems can assemble every system found in a cell.

This is because under exponential growth conditions the cells are able to replicate their DNA faster than they can divide.

In microbiology and genetics, a plasmid is a DNA molecule that is separate from, and can replicate independently of, the chromosomal DNA.

Peroxisomes can be derived from the endoplasmic reticulum and replicate by fission.

NMDA receptor antagonists, such as ketamine, can replicate a similar psychosis to that experienced in schizophrenia.

Physicist John G. Cramer at the University of Washington is attempting to replicate one of these experiments and demonstrate whether or not it can produce superluminal communication.

Harmful prion proteins can replicate by converting normal prions into rogue forms.

Viruses reach the stomach of the mosquito, and if the virus concentration is high enough, the virions can infect epithelial cells and replicate there.

* Self-replicating machines, a class of machines that can replicate themselves

In particular, phenomena such as kin selection and eusociality, where organisms act altruistically, against their individual interests ( in the sense of health, safety or personal reproduction ) to help related organisms reproduce, can be explained as gene sets " helping " copies of themselves ( or sequences with the same phenotypic effect ) in other bodies to replicate.

Both sides agree that very favourable genes are likely to prosper and replicate if they arise and both sides agree that living in groups can be an advantage to the group members.

The sample can be better preserved and the results are much easier to replicate.

RAID is now used as an umbrella term for computer data storage schemes that can divide and replicate data among multiple physical drives.

( see Morphogenetic field ) However, the failure to replicate his findings and the fact that, though cell growth can be stimulated and directed by radiation this is possible only at much higher amplitudes, evoked a general skepticism about Gurwitsch's work.

They further suggested a mechanism by which the molecule can replicate itself and serve to transmit genetic information.

* 1974 — Leslie Orgel showd that RNA can replicate without RNA-replicase and that zinc aids this replication.

The results from replicate samples can often be averaged, or if one of the replicates is obviously inconsistent with the results from the other samples, it can be discarded as being the result of an experimental error ( some step of the test procedure may have been mistakenly omitted for that sample ).

Developing algorithms to replicate this human ability can often be a difficult task, as is further exemplified by the implicit equivocation between " bass ( sound )" and " bass " ( musical instrument ).

During the beginning, we see the city where Kal-El was born ( including the famous white dome that housed the trial of General Zod, Ursa, and Non ), then as to replicate the lift-off, other cities can be seen on the night side and then finally the planet's destruction by a supernova of its red supergiant sun Rao.

In the late 1990s, she developed a talking stick, a six-foot-long baton-like MIDI controller that can access and replicate sounds.

Another game, Los Huevos de Ron Magill ( named after him ), has audience members attempt to replicate an animal's sound which, if one is done successfully, then that person can reach their hand in a oversized egg for a chance to win up to $ 1500 USD.

In effect, using the principles of autocatalysis, a small metabolism can replicate itself with very little high level organization.
