First, a meme cannot be modelled in the same way a superficial data string can be so the comparison of memetic algorithms to recombination in genetic algorithms seems fanciful.
Of course, in fact culture is informational, and can thus be digitised into finite bit strings. That's how culture finds its way onto the internet - by being digitised. Thus the term: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Revolution I think the issue that you were trying to raise is that the best way to recombine memes is not by using point crossovers on serialised data. That's true - but there's still a link to recombination in the organic realm. Recombination means what its etymology suggests it means - memetic recombination just uses more sophisticated crossover techniques, that's all. -- __________ |im |yler http://timtyler.org/ [email protected] Remove lock to reply. ------------------------------------------- AGI Archives: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/303/=now RSS Feed: https://www.listbox.com/member/archive/rss/303/21088071-f452e424 Modify Your Subscription: https://www.listbox.com/member/?member_id=21088071&id_secret=21088071-58d57657 Powered by Listbox: http://www.listbox.com
