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

* Memes ( by influencing behavior to favor their own spread ; see religion as a meme )

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

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 can replicate vertically or horizontally within a single biological generation.

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.

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

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.

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.

Cognitively transmitted memes depend heavily on a cluster of other ideas and cognitive traits already widely held in the population, and thus usually spread more passively than other forms of meme transmission.

A collection of new technologies are taking advantage of unlicensed spectrum including Wi-Fi, Ultra Wideband, spread spectrum, software defined radio, cognitive radio, and mesh networks.

Through the works and teachings of his pupils the philosophy of Franz Brentano has been spread far and wide and indirectly influenced many if not most of the debates in contemporary philosophy, cognitive science and philosophy of mind.

Other models have analyzed the spread of epidemics, the threat of biowarfare, biological applications including population dynamics, the growth and decline of ancient civilizations, evolution of ethnocentric behavior, forced displacement / migration, language choice dynamics, cognitive modeling, and biomedical applications including inflammation and the human immune system.

The spread of antibacterial resistance often occurs through vertical transmission of mutations during growth and by genetic recombination of DNA by horizontal genetic exchange.

The goal of a good checksum algorithm is to spread the valid corners as far from each other as possible, so as to increase the likelihood that " typical " transmission errors will end up in an invalid corner.

There are several points along the cholera transmission path at which its spread may be halted:

The fable is one of the most enduring forms of folk literature, spread abroad, modern researchers agree, less by literary anthologies than by oral transmission.

These sayings spread by oral transmission ; later the founder's disciples set them in writing, developing the thoughts of their master into a system.

Some commentators have likened the transmission of memes to the spread of contagions.

Sterilization measures had been shown to limit the outbreak and spread of disease ; however, the mechanism of transmission of disease by parasites, bacteria, viruses and other agents was unknown.

Their ability to spread efficiently enough to cause a pandemic is limited, however, as transmission of these viruses requires close contact with the infected vector, and the vector only has a short time before death or serious illness.

The disease-carrying fleas from the bodies would then infest the city, and the plague would spread allowing the city to be easily captured, although this transmission mechanism was not known at the time.

Although the mode of transmission of Hansen's disease remains uncertain, most investigators think that M. leprae is usually spread from person to person in respiratory droplets.

Measles is spread through respiration ( contact with fluids from an infected person's nose and mouth, either directly or through aerosol transmission ), and is highly contagious — 90 % of people without immunity sharing living space with an infected person will catch it.

* Horizontal transmission: Lateral spread to others in the same group and at the same time ; spread to contemporaries.

A misconception concerning the carrying / transmission of the HIV / AIDS by fleas has been debunked by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention ( CDC 2003 ), which stated that fleas cannot carry the virus and spread it to other humans.

Dawkins stresses his claim that religious beliefs do not spread as a result of evidence in their support, but typically by cultural transmission, in most cases from parents or from charismatic individuals.

It is spread by direct, close contact with an infected person and thus crowding as may be found in the military and schools increases the rate of transmission.

Preventing the spread of infectious diseases means breaking the chain of infection transmission.

* Some forms of spread spectrum transmission ( and most forms of ultra-wideband ) are mathematically defined as being devoid of carrier waves.

There are two general approaches to preventing the spread of resistance: preventing malaria infections and, preventing the transmission of resistant parasites.

The Buddhist tales cover a wide range of topics, both historical tales about the development, transmission, and spread of Buddhism, and dogmatic tales which emphasize karmic retribution.

One speculated theory that supported airborne transmission was that the virus was spread through dried up U-shaped P-traps in the plumbing and was blown by a maritime breeze to the ventilation of the estate's balcony and stairwells.

Reputation plays a crucial role in the evolution of these behaviours: reputation transmission allows socially desirable behaviour to spread.

This imposes transmission problems on systems spread out in a room or on systems that require remote measurements.
