Subject: Re: Re i-memes and m-memes
Dear Paul,
Thanks for the clarification. <s>
Paul:
Specifically, according to Cloak, i-culture is a behaviour (m-culture) plus an environmental cue, which may be *understood* as an instruction. i.e. the interneural instruction is developed as a heuristic device
for behaviour+cue.
Bill:
So behavior plus environmental cue seems to fall into what I have been calling a strategic meme, yes?
Paul:
This is very different to the thinking that has been developed in this thread on i-memes and m-memes, and should not be confused with it.
Bill:
I think that the source of this usage is Dawkins: "A meme should be regarded as unit of information residing in a brain (Cloak's i-culture)." ("The Extended Phenotype" p. 109)
Many thanks,
Bill
