Here's one: a change in the persistence rate of new meme generation can be correlated to a change in collective intelligence. IOW, less new ideas, less increase in intelligence for that particular component of collective intelligence... there may be other components. OR if that component has reached some sort of local maxima new meme persistence rate will decrease because it can only get so smart due to the incomputability of K complexity...
