    Is there a Derek Gatherer in
    >the house?

    Yes, there is.

    The people you want to get in touch with, Darek, are the Wallaces, (Rodrick and RG) of The New York State Psychiatric Institute,on rdwall@ix.netcom.com They sent me a manuscript of their book
    "The New Information Theory: applications in biology, medicine and social science" a while ago. I don't know if it is published yet. This is essentialy a full-blown Shannon info treatment of memetics: Chapter titles are: The New Information Theory Biological and Cultural Evolution Psychopathology Risk Behavior and Collective Cognition Large Scale Social Phenomena

    Here are some of their recent articles:
