Squonk,

I get that point now ... sq latching sufficent to be a latch  to build
on, but not so "static" as to inhibit further evolution ... the  latter
being an inferior kind of sq.
 
Mark: Hello Ian. Yes, and this may require a modification of what sq  is.

Ian: BTW the increasing pace of evolution is natural to conclude in  the
"memetic" world, where ideas can circulate and mutate at the "speed  of
light" across ever more interconnected channels of communication  -
quite unlike biological "genetic" reproductive cycles. As you say  this
is a really interesting area, whether you'd choose to use the  word
meme or not. (This is related to the other Kurzweil thread.)
 
Mark: Memes are someone elses description of sq social patterns.
But we have to differentiate between sq social memes and sq intellectual  
memes. I don't think the memeticists have realised this yet?

Ian: The  internet really is better than sex :-)
Ian
 
Mark: You must be doing it wrong Ian. ;-P
Love,
Mark
