Combinatorial Memetics:
The process of generating novel cultural value by systematically permuting and sequencing discrete units of meaning (memes/videos) to discover high-stickiness configurations. Unlike traditional "remixing," which is often random, combinatorial memetics implies a deliberate, algorithmic approach to maximizing viral fitness through structural arrangement.
The Atomic Unit:
1 video (10s) = 1 Meme.
The Combinatorial Act:
Sequencing 154 of them where the transition ($N \to N+1$) creates the meaning.
The Result:
A "Macro-Meme" (the thread) that is greater than the sum of its parts.
I'm curious what everyone thinks about this approach, especially from anyone who's worked on entity resolution at scale, physics-based visualization of non-physical systems, or applying GNNs to real-world financial graph data.
I'd appreciate any and all recommendations or comments. Thank you!
