A meme is basically a thought and superficial explained in analogy to genes. They can be created, copied, altered, deleted and can experience some kind of evolution within individuals and societies. If you keep comparing memes with genes, many children get their knowledge and believe from their parents, teachers and other, older authorial and/or charismatic persons which resembles vertical gene transfer while adapting memes from friends or "brothers in mind" ("Brüder im Geiste") resemble horizontal gene transfer. Since not all memes are passed from one person to another and don't keep the same, they can be seen to be evolve through selection and mutation. | |||
The Damocles sword within: Information of ERVs and other viral elements can cause damage but also help immune responses. Viral meme (in sense of not agreeing with but occupying space within the host) are more successful in spreading than their biological counterpart but also get less expressed. Their analysis can be used e.g. within a discussion to formulate arguments that stand against the hostile-felt meme standing in analogy to a biological immune response. | |||
Bad memes replicate as long as they don't kill their host. The survival of the fittest is an outdated view as also organisms with inherited disease create offspring. A "sufficient" survival rate is enough. And so, also genes and memes can stand in conflict with their own kind get passed on. Opposing memes are easier to occur since their use depends on the situation which results often in double standards and are criticized by other persons as unfair. The usefulness of a meme depends on its context and perspective. "One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter." | |||
In natural, biological lifeforms memes and genes can interact to a limited point. | |||
* Gene affects meme: Your genome determines your starting condition, e.g. you are probably going to hate what causes your allergy. | |||
* Meme affects gene: For example, you have a strong determination and decide to change your lifestyle and hence the epigenetic layer to fight obesity. | |||
In Omega-Chimeras the memes can fully determine genetic information or any other nature of physical blueprints. - The body can be transformed into whatever the mind seems needed. | |||
Any person is to be seen as a connected system of its metal and physical parts. | |||
Biocracy's defines lower life as: all life is running code within at least one unit whereby matter and energy is consumed for self-preservation. | |||
Biocracy's defines higher life as: any system - may it be an multicellular individual or a single-cellular collective - that by emergence has a mental memory and self-awareness. The requirements for lower life are met as well. | |||
A digitalized mind is not alive and doesn't hold the right to become reanimated unless there is one proponent willing to share his resources. | |||

As any computer system can be hacked and hijacked, so are biological lifeforms with human-like level of intellect vulnerable to meme injection, therefore reprogramming of neuronal pattern. In the early years, lobbyism was identified as major danger of self-preservation for Biocracies and hence prohibited. Also, all advertisements must contain true information. | As any computer system can be hacked and hijacked, so are biological lifeforms with human-like level of intellect vulnerable to meme injection, therefore reprogramming of neuronal pattern.

Willful committed crimes are not longer punished by physical imprisonment. Instead, the crime causing memes are either altered or deleted. These fundamental interventions are often seen critical by non-biocracy societies and cause rejection and political tensions if a guilty member caught on the other's territory. | Willful committed crimes are not longer punished by physical imprisonment.

A person found to have removed his own memes can be sentenced to remove his underlying motivations as well. In extreme cases memes are added to take away the pleasure gained from successful crimes in which removing any other memes comes too late and cause feeling of inequality in other persons. For example: a person destroyed properties of another person. Removing the delinquent's motivation doesn't necessary takes away his joy for the damage done. | A person found to have removed his own memes can be sentenced to remove his underlying motivations as well.

If one split-person died, the remaining split-person is altered so that he can never develop such meme again. | ||
