Speed of meme spread is directly proportional to the population size and spread methodology effectivity

There is an unknown factor which affects the validity of our measurements, something that we don't seem to be taking into account.

We call it dank matter / dank energy.

In addition, the the speed is largely affected by disturbances in the environment in which the memes propagate, such as influence from other societies and even the local climate, which may lead to changes in lifestyles and, consequently, cultural practices.

>Speed of meme spread is directly proportional to the population size

But inversely proportional to IQ. The lower the IQ the faster meme spreads. In fact negative IQ means the meme will travel back in time.

Recent studies in theoretical memeology suggests that traditional dankness is a conserved quantity and obeys the following properties that dankness equals meme times shitposting squared.

But dank matter and the fact that the spread of memes tends to be increasing rather than decreasing is still a mystery to memeology.

what is a mem

> site:.edu 4chan

not much work had been done on memetic propagation, but there was an MIT study on shitposting. the sample size is too small imo.

desu cybernetics is probly ur best bet, memetics is very much like a feedback system.

Is there a unit to define the spread of a meme. Would it be Aware population / Population / Time ? Similar to acceleration.

Meme propagation would best be modeled by a parabolic partial differential equation (solutions are similar to heat propagation rather than wave propagation.) So the propagation speed is, in a definite sense, infinite. In particular, any disturbance in one community would be felt elsewhere to a small amount instantaneously. This matches the instantaneous communication of the internet and that most people use multiple internet communities rather than one.

>Memes travel fast, yes.
A lie travels from Damascus to Istanbul before the truth can put on its sandals.

Arab proverb, I have been told.

Not all Arab proverbs are reliable.
