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

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.

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

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

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

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

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

See also Stephen Downes, Hacking Memes ( First Monday, volume 4, issue 11 ) for a detailed description of meme hacks.

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

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, 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.

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.

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.

Relativistic quantum field theory requires interactions to propagate at speeds less than or equal to the speed of light, so " quantum entanglement " cannot be used for faster-than-light-speed propagation of matter, energy, or information.

They propagate at high speed over a wide area and are more or less unnoticeable in deep water, only becoming dangerous as they approach the shoreline and the ocean floor becomes shallower.

While referred to less often in recent years, Project 2010 did propagate two programs still in use today by U. S. Soccer to help produce world-class talent: Generation Adidas ( previously called Project-40 when sponsored by Nike ) and U. S. Soccer's U-17 residency camp in Bradenton, Florida.

These photons would propagate at less than the speed of light defined by special relativity and have three directions of polarization.

Very large articles are frequently dropped, and tend to propagate less well than smaller ones.

The compressor either experiences conditions which exceed the limit of its pressure rise capabilities or is highly loaded such that it does not have the capacity to absorb a momentary disturbance, creating a rotational stall which can propagate in less than a second to include the entire compressor.

The result is that radio waves can propagate well beyond their intended service area with less than normal attenuation.

Rice hulls are a class A insulating material because they are difficult to burn and less likely to allow moisture to propagate mold or fungi.

The addition of two 1-digit inputs < var > A </ var > and < var > B </ var > is said to propagate if the addition will carry whenever there is an input carry ( equivalently, when the next less significant digit in the sum carries ).

The crack may propagate in the center of the layer or near an interface.

The process may extends to huge sparks — streamers in lightning discharges propagate by formation of electron avalanches created in the high potential gradient ahead of the streamers ' advancing tips.

Since the cracking is likely due to a brittle neck, the cases should be annealed before attempting to reform them, or the crack may propagate and ruin the newly formed shorter case as well.

A different ontology arises if we need to attend to the electrodynamics in the device: Here signals propagate at finite speed and an object ( like a resistor ) that was previously viewed as a single component with an I / O behavior may now have to be thought of as an extended medium through which an electromagnetic wave flows.

There can be many purposes for such a record, such as recording evidence to verify the effectiveness of specific procedures ( per the scientific method that Aleister Crowley claimed should be applied to the practice of magick ) or to ensure that data may propagate beyond the lifetime of the magician.

In their controversial Orch-OR theory of consciousness, Roger Penrose and Stuart Hameroff postulate that microtubules in neurons conduct quantum-level manipulations of matter, which produces consciousness, based partially on some observations of Gamma Synchrony that indicate that information may propagate through the brain much faster than a chemically mediated neural network would physically permit.

This may be motivated by biotic ethics that values, and seeks to propagate, the basic patterns of our organic gene / protein life-form.

Waves that are sinusoidal in time but propagate through a medium whose properties vary with position ( an inhomogeneous medium ) may propagate at a velocity that varies with position, and as a result may not be sinusoidal in space.

The bandlimiting can also be due to the physical properties of the medium-for instance, the cable being used in a wired system may have a cutoff frequency above which practically none of the transmitted signal will propagate.

Self-synchronizing codes also allow recovery from uncorrected errors in the stream ; with most prefix codes, an uncorrected error in a single bit may propagate errors further in the stream and make the subsequent data unreadable.

It is usually undesirable to transmit signals above the cutoff frequency, since it may cause multiple modes with different phase velocities to propagate, interfering with each other.

A second shock wave, the reverse shock, may propagate back into the ejected matter.

Signaling NaNs, or sNaNs, are special forms of a NaN that when consumed by most operations should raise an invalid exception and then, if appropriate, be " quieted " into a qNaN that may then propagate.

Radio signals in the UHF band ( 300 MHz to 3 GHz ) will propagate through a disturbed ionosphere but a receiver may not be able to keep locked to the carrier frequency.

The core is placed on a hard surface or " anvil " and is struck above by a hammer, thus the fracture may propagate from both ends simultaneously.

The brain consists of a " bundle of semi-independent agencies "; when " content-fixation " takes place in one of these, its effects may propagate so that it leads to the utterance of one of the sentences that make up the story in which the central character is one's " self ".

In ordinary laboratory experience, using common units and methods of measurement, it may seem that we look at the present, but in fact there is always a delay time for light to propagate.

The production of cultivars generally entails considerable human involvement although in a few cases it may be as little as simply selecting variation from plants growing in the wild ( whether by collecting growing tissue to propagate from or by gathering seed ).

A type of electromagnetic signal propagating in the Earth – ionosphere waveguide, known as a radio atmospheric signal or sferic, may escape the ionosphere and propagate outward into the magnetosphere.

Veneer grafting, shield ( T or inverted T ) budding, and air layering may be used to propagate desirable selections.
