Show HN: Engineering Perception with Combinatorial Memetics

1 points by alan_sass 99 days ago | 2 comments

Hello, World!

Need your help, urgently! :)

Long-time lurker, newly and hopefully valuable HN poster soon.

My X account is currently classified as "Probable Spam" after I made 1,078 posts over the last 7 days (lol).

Any chance ya'll can explore the above, then if you are delighted to please interact with my account to counter the "Probable Spam" classification?

Thank you!

P.S. "Show HN is for something you've made that other people can play with. HN users can try it out, give you feedback, and ask questions in the thread." <-- I hope this qualifies when related to Combinatorial Memetics!

Combinatorial Memetics: The process of generating novel cultural value by systematically permuting and sequencing discrete units of meaning (memes/videos) to discover high-stickiness configurations. Unlike traditional "remixing," which is often random, combinatorial memetics implies a deliberate, algorithmic approach to maximizing viral fitness through structural arrangement.

The Atomic Unit: 1 video (10s) = 1 Meme.

The Combinatorial Act: Sequencing 154 of them where the transition ($N \to N+1$) creates the meaning.

The Result: A "Macro-Meme" (the thread) that is greater than the sum of its parts.
