The mental background (or flavor) you mention for a
"religious" meme seems more important than the
*differences* postulated for verbal and/ or
spatial... that is, given that you can demonstrate
that religions are affected by left-brain and
right-brain (racial) trends; can you then turn
around and demonstrate that what you are observing
is in fact a single meme of a particular mental
background or flavor?
I ask this because I have postulated that the
memetic unit is a "concept" or "symbol" (though
possibly an object-- and maybe best defined as an
"abstract object") which acts like a "black hole"
(perhaps) in that it's balance conceptually negates
the "material expression" of it within a universal
translator "code" that is infinitely applicable to
any and all information indiscriminately but which
transmits this information via the environment (to
which it applies in a discriminate fashion, since
the environment is noticeable in its
"non-universality" by comparison-- or even, that the
complexity represented by the meme is able to reveal
its order through a complete correspondence to the
limited order of the environment thus highlighting
this order within the environment... the "species"
being this "environment" and the "individual" being
the universal translation, noted as the individual
might express the evolution of the species in a
blanket fashion; but only to the extent that the
environment can support this order within its
hardwiring).
*My* question is: HOW is the meme balanced so that
it can encode the universal "ancestral memories" (so
to speak) within an individual, such that the
environment can function as a "neural net" whose
changes can "select" which patterns are transmitted
from one individual's meme complex to a similar
complex within another individual so that the
pattern manifests in the second individual?
The distinction between a "left-brain" cultural
environment and a "right-brain" cultural environment
fails to show how the balanced meme I suggest (in a
corpus colosseum fashion) *connects* the differences
noticed into a single unit... though the male/
female differences noticed in left-brain/ right
brain studies might suggest that an androgynous
left/right connection could organize as a "meme" in
a way that it acts (in) discriminately--THE SAME--
within either the left-brain (female) or right-brain
(male) environment.
