memetics: /me-met'iks/ n. [from meme] The study of memes. As
of early 1999, this is still an extremely informal and speculative
endeavor, though the first steps towards at least statistical rigor
have been made by H. Keith Henson and others. Memetics is a popular
topic for speculation among hackers, who like to see themselves as
the architects of the new information ecologies in which memes live
and replicate.
