http://members.aol.com/ifprice/orgmem.html

Extractions: Companies are not only systems created and controlled by those who manage them but also self-organising entities that evolve through learning. Whereas an organism is a creation of natural replicators, genes, an organisation can be seen as a product of an alternative replicator, the meme or mental model, acting, like a gene, to preserve itself in an Evolutionary Stable System. The result is an organisation which self organises around a set of unspoken and unwritten rules and assumptions. Successful organic strains possess a genetic capability for adaptation. Organisations which wish to foster learning can develop an equivalent, mental capability. Unlike their biological counterparts they can exert conscious choice and puncture the memetic codes that seek to keep them stable; the mental models of individuals, and the strategies, paradigms and unwritten rules at the company level.

Extractions: AUTO-TOXIC : Dangerous to itself. Highly auto-toxic memes are usually self-limiting because they promote the destruction of their hosts (such as the Jim Jones meme; any military indoctrination meme-complex; any "martyrdom" meme). (GMG) (See exo-toxic BAIT : The part of a meme-complex that promises to benefit the host (usually in return for replicating the complex). The bait usually justifies, but does not explicitly urge, the replication of a meme-complex. (Donald Going, quoted by Hofstadter.) Also called the reward co-meme . (In many religions, "Salvation" is the bait, or promised reward; "Spread the Word" is the hook. Other common bait co-memes are "Eternal Bliss", "Security", "Prosperity", "Freedom".) (See hook threat infection strategy BELIEF-SPACE : Since a person can only be infected with and transmit a finite number of memes, there is a limit to their belief space (Henson). Memes evolve in competition for niches in the belief-space of individuals and societies.

Extractions: [Interplanetary Age Social Engineer, Avalon Orbital] Ideas have power, they insinuate themselves, pereptuate, reproduce, subvert, mutate. How much more so those ideas deliberately seeded in order to engineer social trends and both mass and individual opinion? Were it not for the memetic engineering of the superbrights and hyperturings over the mass of society, the galaxy would schism into warring factions, chaos, intolerance, bigotry, and superstition. Applied Memetics is what holds interstellar civilization together over vast distances. It is also (along with the Distributed Information Net) one of the most important inventions of the information age Memes are socially inherited ideas that determine what people think and believe; memetics is the social and cultural sphere what genetics is to the biological. Sophont beings adopt a conception of God or deity, or social biases and prejudices, or particular fashions, because their peers and the media do or their parents and society did, and so on back through the generations. Prior to the first singularity memes were selected via Darwinian processes of "natural selection"; some religions, fashions, ideologies, fads, cultures, and languages proved stronger than others and hence flourished. The rise of superbrights and hyperturings and Artilect Gods saw the domestication of the meme, and the memetic engineering replacing cheap propaganda or advertising or political or military power as the ultimate instrument of persuasion and subversion. Thus the superbrights and transapients - either on their own or working through the medium of or as an instrument for religions, noetics, polities, and megacorporations - manipulate the consciousness of sentient beings under them, and are in turn manipulated by higher transingularity AIs above them, in a noospheric ecology of great complexity.

Extractions: Milk-bottle opening behavior in a species of bird known as the British tit has been put forward as an example of a meme in a non-human animal. In this e-paper I argue that milk-bottle opening behavior in the British tit is not memetic and is better explained by appealing to its innate behavioral repertoire.

Extractions: KNOWLEDGE MANAGEMENT WITH MEMES Latest News: November 6th - new release v0.31b available Memento is a lightweight knowledge management system based on the principles of memetics, the theory of memes. Use it to store what you've learnt, and publish what you know - just like a weblog. And naturally, to facilitate distribution of the Memento meme this project is entirely open source.

Hofstadter's Metamagical Themas (New York Basic Books, 1983) explored memeticsfrom the perspective of abstract mathematics and linguistics.
http://www.disinfo.com/pages/dossier/id133/pg1/

Extractions: Coined by zoologist Richard Dawkins in his controversial book The Selfish GeneK (New York: Oxford University Press, 1976), the 'meme' is the study of ideas, behaviours, and skills which replicate and transmit themselves via imitation (using the human mind similarly to the way that a virus does in a biological host). Memes are 'replicators' that compete to get themselves copied into as many minds as possible. Dawkins' original examples included catchphrases, clothes fashions, and new ways of building arches. By implication, the mind can be fashioned, manipulated, and controlled just as the physical body is by genes. Important early scientific studies were conducted by Daniel C. Dennett

http://www.disinfo.com/pages/article/id1919/pg1/

Extractions: Throughout 1996-1997 I researched Richard Dawkins' meme (a cultural unit of information that propagates across our ecologies of mind) and considered specific applications within advertising, cults and postmodern 'designer religious viruses' ( Richard Brodie ). My research trajectory was influenced by my fascination with the late Gnosis Magazine and the science fiction author Philip K. Dick . I was freelancing for the Australian science/culture magazine 21.C and considering the initiatory/philosophical implications of Cyberpunk while in the Temple of Set . In mid-1997 I discovered Clare W. Graves
