Just as a general line of thought, specifically what is involved in memetic
engineering? What are the steps and procedures involved?
On a macroscopic level historical memes seem to follow some very basic
patterns and models. Can this be applied on a microscopic level to
influence specific targets?
Would it be possible to build a piece of software that could simulate and
predict the evolution of a meme? Would it be possible to build a piece of
software that could aid in the design of complex memes? Or a piece of
software that could model memes?
A memetic modelling tool could have some very interesting applications. If
a "good" modelling/engineering tool was designed, couldn't this give small
organizations enormously disproportionate amounts of influence?
Comments?
