Yes, this is better.

How about this:

Physics <-----> Genes <-----> Memes
^----------------------------^

BTW, the line going from Memes to Genes is the Baldwin Effect.

The Child takes the place of The Father, not the Son; similar to Horus
taking the place of Osiris. Also, The Child is the child of the Void,
not of God. Also, we are now in the third "Metaphysical Eon"; the first
being The Mother, the second being The Father, the third being The Child.
For examples that our times are ruled by the Child, see recent postings
on this list, or observe nearly any social intercourse.
METAPHYSICS OFF
