meme experiments

by paul bambury at 06:39PM (EST) on December 5, 2006 | Permanent Link | Cosmos

This interesting Wired article describes some experiments around meme transmission.

Networks are the medium of meme transmission, this much seems obvious, but not much else is well understood about meme formation and transmission, except perhaps by advertisers, and they aren't telling.

It's good to see experimental memology, being practiced on the web. Maybe the methodology needs to be clarified. Double blind experiments would be difficult on the public network, but there's a good chance we'll learn something useful from meme experimentation.

Perceptric Forum

According to Wikipedia a perceptron is a type of artificial neural network.

Ergo a “Perceptric” is a person who creates or uses a neural network.

The Perceptric Blog is where Chris Gilbey posts thoughts, ideas, and links intended to stimulate thought and accelerate the transfer of ideas.

Chris is available for consulting work with the premise that it is not technologies that are disruptive so much as the people that use them.

The Perceptric mission is to help companies and people reach their goals and exceed their expectations. This will often mean offering counterintuitive conclusions.

Our view? The shortest distance between two points is not necessarily a straight line. It's the number of people needed to be present in a human network to influence and deliver positive decision making.
