Originally meme was defined as an object that replicates using the
human brain as a platform, like ideas that spread through language,
cultural forms, fashions etc, like genes are replicating in
molecular level.
I'd like more to think what happens in brain when a meme replicates.
Brain consists of billions pulsing devices called neurons. When I'm
reading the idea of "meme" a certain pulsing pattern occurs in my
neural system. When I tell my friend about this nice analogy between
genetics and though system my brain replays the pattern and
codes it in language, and distributes it to a communication medium.
So, meme is a pulse pattern.
How does a pulse pattern look like?
Here is the ascii representation: - - - - - + - + - - + - -
The closest analogy is a rhythm pattern. When you put on a CD you
hear memes. You do not know what your favourite music codes but quite
likely the surface forms manifest as thoughs or emotions in certain
categories, and in a higher level all similarly incubated people start
realizing the patters in cultural movements.
Music consists also other things than just rhythms, but they (melodies,
tonalities, dynamics, compositional structures etc) can be cross-converted
into each other.
In brain a single pattern can represent the movement of a finger, a hand,
body movement, a though, emotion, depending what target the pattern
controls. So, when you receive a meme, although you do not consciously
transmit it, you may unconsciously transform it in an another form,
which you then transmit. Even in transformed form the receiver can get
the same meme. A meme is not such a simple self-replicating system as it
first appeared.
And you can process pulse patterns. If you take a negation, or reverse
the pattern you get the total of 4 patterns that all are reflections of
the same structure. What do they code in culture?
The pulse pattern memes have another interesting property. They can
be enhanced by the synaptic noise, and now information that comes from
the quantum universe can enhance human thinking. But quantum noise is
actually not noise, but highly organized information, hence reading our
senses and reacting it to a way unknown.
So, memes are represented as pulse patterns, and operated by the
brain by time-dependent logical rules (neurons), which are micro-
tuned by quantum fields that reside in 10..24 dimensional universe.
When you get a new idea it may as well come directly from there,
never know.
When you start thinking in terms of pulse coded quantum memes you never
know what is replicating, because a preserving meme replication is
only a special case. Majority of replication happens in different
surface forms. Listen closely the distorted hardcore 909 kick sound.
This sound coded by a Japan engineer 10 years ago is likely a major
catalyst for a cultural revolution - in a totally different field
than in music.
