8.4 Memetic mechanisms


The expression that controls what the agent says can be of any form allowed in the designated formal language. In determining the causes of utterances in order to compile figure 9, I designated as memetic any expression whose evaluation could possibly be effected by the utterance of another agent. For example if there were no `saidByLast' nodes in the chosen talk expression, one could safely say it was not memetic.
