| | Meme - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The lack of a consistent, rigorous and precise definition of a meme remains one of the principal criticisms leveled at memetics. | | | However, the application of memes can have implications, which may result in either positive or negative results. | | | Furthermore, one can view the scientific method as a successful means of selecting those memeplexes best suited for explaining observable physical processes, through its mechanism (parallel to the evolutionary algorithm used in computer science) of providing standardized methods for creating and evaluating competing populations of solutions to a given problem. |

| | ``Memes, The New Replicators'' |
| | The computers in which memes live are human brains.(6) Time is possibly a more important limiting factor than storage space, and it is the subject of heavy competition. | | | If memes in brains are analogous to genes they must be self-replicating brain structures, actual patterns of neurological wiring-up that reconsititute themselves in one brain after another. | | | If a meme is to dominate the attention of a human brain, it must do so at the expense of `rival' memes. |

| | Meme - dKosopedia |
| | Factoids are given context by spinning them, that is, applying a trope to the factoid to relate it to a meme. | | | If something is a position that can and should be argued, or a term that has premises amenable to investigation, then it is "more than just a meme" and can be analyzed. | | | The word meme is often applied to two related, but separate, entities. |

| | fUSION Anomaly. Meme |
| | This lexicon is an (epidemiological) vector of the 'hacker subculture' meme complex; each entry might be considered a meme. | | | However, `meme' is often misused to mean `meme complex'. | | | This can be tested by observing the spread (perhaps in a controlled environment) of two memes that are similar in all respects, except that the one is simpler. |

| | The Straight Dope: What is a meme? |
| | Susan Blackmore, in The Meme Machine (1999), argues that with memes there doesn't need to be. | | | In his words: "Examples of memes are tunes, ideas, catch-phrases, clothes fashions, ways of making pots or of building arches. | | | The concept of memes is either really deep or really, really obvious. |

| | Define meme - a definition from Whatis.com |
| | Examples of memes might include the idea of God; the importance of the individual as opposed to group importance; the belief that the environment can to some extent be controlled; or that technologies can create an electronically interconnected world community. | | | A meme is an idea that is passed on from one human generation to another. | | | In addition to genetic inheritance with its possibilities and limitations, humans, said Dawkins, can pass their ideas from one generation to the next, allowing them to surmount challenges more flexibly and more quickly than through the longer process of genetic adaptation and selection. |

| | I was always open to the possibility that the meme might one day be developed into a proper hypothesis of the human mind, and I did not know how ambitious such a thesis might turn out to be. | | | One book is comprised of the first six chapters, which are preparatory in nature, reviewing the current state of memetics, alternative analyses of human cultural evolution, types of replicator (DNA, prions, computer viruses), and the physical nature of information. | | | Dawkins had little to say about just where one might look in the brain to find memes and other memeticists have been content to follow him in that. |

| | MEME represents motifs as position-dependent letter-probability matrices which describe the probability of each possible letter at each position in the pattern. | | | MEME takes as input a group of DNA or protein sequences (the training set) and outputs as many motifs as requested. | | | MEME uses statistical modeling techniques to automatically choose the best width, number of occurrences, and description for each motif. |
