has links to a couple of memetic simulation scripts.
The first one does horizontal replication. The user can enter values for
population size, number of initial 'demonstrators', number of successful
demonstration/conversion events per demonstrator, and the number of cultural
generations over which to run the simulation. Output is dumped to screen.
The second script does simulations of gene-meme interaction, specifically it
simulates the interaction of memetic taboos with a (hypothesised) recessive
genetic homosexuality. Heterozygote advantage can be added and varied, and
the level of the taboo can be varied, as well as the number of genetic
generations over which the simulation runs. Output is dumped to an Excel
spreadsheet.
Please do have a go with these and let me know if there are any bugs etc.
Derek
