Building Blocks
It seems that we require the constant validation of the simplest narrative building blocks and a recurrent reinforcement of superficial trivialities…
Semantic Drift
The extent to which errors of replication are responsible for longue durée cultural, subjective and semantic metamorphosis remains an intriguing possibility…
Attempting to keep track of the endlessly unfurling Baroque curlicues and relentlessly iterating patterned flows of information and interpreted or shifting meanings leaves little time for big-picture comprehension or analysis…

No one is coming to save us from ourselves, it looks like we’ll need to work through this together…
Global Conflict: The End of History ?
If we can’t find ways to agree, perhaps we can find less unhealthy ways to maintain the disagreements by which we seem to so vicariously define ourselves…
Methods of Cultural Replication
Cultural replication is of the various dynamic methods and adaptive, evolving rules and frameworks of replication and culturally recursive information transmission.
Cultural Recursion
We are witnessing the perpetuation of systems of rule and information transmission in which our own biological, psychological and existential biases lead us to mistakenly identify ourselves as the primary components (and purposes) of this process.
Cultural Algorithm
The dynamic activity of the methods, frameworks and algorithms of cultural encryption indicate that the nodes in any sufficiently sophisticated communications or information transmission system are secondary considerations to the primary functioning of a recursive self-replication of those same methods, frameworks and algorithms.
Cultural Propagation
Cultural self-replication occurs by way of dynamic, non-linear algorithms; shapeshifting and ambiguous under analysis…
