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, 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 can replicate vertically or horizontally within a single biological generation.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.

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.

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

Retroviruses ( Group VI ) have a single-stranded RNA genome but are generally not considered RNA viruses because they use DNA intermediates to replicate.

Cosplay is generally considered different from Halloween and Mardi Gras costume wear as the intention is to accurately replicate a specific character, rather than to reflect the culture and symbolism of a holiday event.

Even so, efforts to replicate Grameen-style solidarity lending in developed countries have generally not succeeded.

These are used by some proprietary vendors as a form of copy protection or digital rights management, because it is generally harder to replicate a dongle than to copy the software it authenticates.

Models generally make no attempt to replicate scale weight, only size.

More generally, the steps abstract from decisions that may be made simultaneously, and it would be desirable to better replicate that in the analysis.

The process of marking up bills and resolutions in committees of the House of Representatives generally resembles, but does not perfectly replicate, the process of amending measures on the House floor.

These viruses tend to be introduced into and initially infect differentiated plant cells, via the piercing mouthparts of the vector insect: however, these cells generally lack the host enzymes necessary for DNA replication, making it difficult for the virus to replicate.

For example, many modern documents include holograms, which are difficult to replicate without expensive equipment which is not generally available.

Instantly recognisable to European football fans, the invariably shaven-headed forward has generally failed to replicate his club form when playing for the national side.

Prior to the 2000s, it was generally accepted that most home consoles were not powerful enough to accurately replicate arcade games ( such games are known as being " arcade-perfect ").

Supporters of this view believe that “ to a hypothetical outside reader, presents Christianity as enlightened, harmless, even beneficent .” Some believe that through this work, Luke intended to show the Roman Empire that the root of Christianity is within Judaism so that the Christians “ may receive the same freedom to practice their faith that the Roman Empire afforded the Jews .” Those who support the view of Luke ’ s work as political apology generally draw evidence from the facts that Christians are found innocent of committing any political crime ( Acts 25: 25 ; 19: 37 ; 19: 40 ) and that Roman officials ’ views towards Christians are generally positive.

These are generally called " jumps " and facilitate behavior like loops, conditional program execution ( through the use of a conditional jump ), and functions in programs.

A character encoding system consists of a code that pairs each character from a given repertoire with something else — such as a bit pattern, sequence of natural numbers, octets, or electrical pulses — in order to facilitate the transmission of data ( generally numbers or text ) through telecommunication networks or for data storage.

While most elements are generally viewed as stable, a small amount of natural transformation of one element to another also occurs in the present time, through decay of radioactive elements as well as other natural nuclear processes.

The number of Praetors elected varied through history, generally increasing with time.

More generally, electric current can be represented as the rate at which charge flows through a given surface as:

It is impossible to define narrowly the boundaries of this early land of Chaldea, and one may only locate it generally in the low, marshy, alluvial land about the estuaries of the Tigris and Euphrates, which then discharged their waters through separate mouths into the sea.

In a final, production quality rendering of a ray traced work, multiple rays are generally shot for each pixel, and traced not just to the first object of intersection, but rather, through a number of sequential ' bounces ', using the known laws of optics such as " angle of incidence equals angle of reflection " and more advanced laws that deal with refraction and surface roughness.

Chakras correspond to vital points in the physical body but are generally understood as being part of the " subtle body " which cannot be found through autopsy.

** The breech refers to the mass of solid metal behind the bottom of the bore extending to the base of the breech and including the base ring ; it also generally refers to the end of the cannon opposite the muzzle, i. e., the location where the explosion of the gunpowder begins as opposed to the opening through which the pressurized gas escapes.

The second through fourth of these councils are generally entitled " Christological councils ," with the latter three mainly elucidating what was taught in them and condemning incorrect interpretations.

Spectators are generally able to watch the rest of the round from multiple selectable views, although some servers disable some of these views to prevent dead players from relaying information about living players to their teammates through alternative media ( most notably voice in the case of Internet cafes and Voice over IP programs such as TeamSpeak or Ventrilo ).

Such links through neighbouring countries are generally more important for the east and south-east of the country, and are more heavily used, than surface links to the capital.

Jones however was the one who is generally credited with having gone much of the way towards a practical solution through his scheme of ' Cardinal Vowels ', a relatively simple system of reference vowels which for many years has been taught systematically to students within the British tradition.
