Surely, since memetic reproduction of information exists, an ecology must
also exist there. It's a well-greased surface on which information can
slide around and interact with other information, at least as compared to
genetics.
But what does this creature eat? Hmmn... It must secrete waste products,
also. I think it eats plants, since meat is grown from plants... But it
put the plants (farms) there as part of its own system. It also eats land
(mining, building, etc). So, it runs on sunlight and eats land.
It's a plant! Plants are smarter than humans after all!
I think it secretes television as a waste product.
