Hi folks! I am a new kid on the block in the search into memetics.
I can't stop wondering how much the theory about morphogenetic fields coincide,
in some sense,with what we should call meme-complexes.
In my point of view they are comparable and exchangeble_the hypothesis of formative causation,(see Rupert Sheldrake),that is the hypothesis that organisms or morphic units at all levels of complexity are organized by morphic fields,which are themselves influenced and stabilized by morphic resonance from all previous simular morphic units could then easily become the hypothesis that organisms or memetic individuals at all levels of increasing complexity are organized/selected/ cumulated/regulated/structurated/...by meme-complexes,which are themselves [already imitations by which a selection-process evolves,and] influnced and stabilizes by memetic-lineges from (all) previous simular memetic-profiles.
It may be better understandeble in following clarifications_a human organism who
is a member of a culture must acquire the standards/knowlegde base and expe-
rience_these things of a particular discipline are in my opinion,then morphogenetic
fields_all what follows are memes.
In other words:-morphic resonance triggers thought-forms which boottrap in existence memes,which become meme-complexes or paradigms which in their turn form a new platform/pattern for the occurance of morphic resonance,or in some sense to selection,variation and eventually to new ideas/memes and meme-
complexes.
Is there anyone out there to discuss this further!?
