How is it self-replicating you dumb shit? That would imply that memes are either sentient beings or have the inert ability to divide when certain conditions are met, like cells. None of which is true of course. Memes are created and shared by people. Do your even brain?

something that gains cultural popularity

There's mathematical applications to relatively precise definition of memetics. Check out Parallel Processing and Applied Mathematics: 10th International .conference.pg 355 for a vague overview.

Specifically in the realm of utility and optimization functions in Genetic Learning and NN algorithms. Considering specific portions of an idea are quantized (a qualitative facet quantized for optimization checks -- i.e. Amazon's Mechanical Turk) and iterated or randomly walked (In random walk GL strategies) then selected genetically.

If anything there's a rather definite and rigid definition of memetics at this point. But then again the average /b/rainlet like you wouldn't understand. .

Also look to Meta-Lamarckian Learning in Memetic Algorithms, Yew Soon Ong & Andy Keane.

so why do YOU need help describing a meme, fgt.
anyways, a meme is -a repeating, themed internet joke. but now most people say any joke is a meme. retards autisticly bastardized something already incredibly autistic, with autisms.
