GENOMICS, CHAOS, AND THE TIPPING POINT
I saw a show about the Human Genome Project and learned that Genetic diseases begin
at an atomic level. I just read The Tipping Point by Malcolm Gladwell and learned that
social epidemics are created by minor tweaking of ideas. This book is discussing the
mechanics of MEME Theory, that is, ideas propagate in a similar way as genes; in both
cases many genes and memes are apparently useless or ineffectual. A successful meme or
gene is one which propagates itself.
I studied Chaos Theory and learned that initial states or starting points, slightly varied,
lead to vast differences in the emergent pattern derived from iteration.
The Tipping Point is the social aspect of what in Chaos is known as a Transition point, in
Foam Coarsening Rules, The Rearrangement Event. In each case what is happening is a
stable homogenous system or state gives way to a definitive change or pattern via a
disproportionately small change.
It is possible to associate these three systems through their THREEness.
CHAOS =
Quantum Foam -
reiterating equation -
pattern
DNA =
Amino Acids -
gene -
body
SOCIETY =
clutter problem -
meme -
social epidemic
Further when you look at the THREE within each of those, for example, in The Tipping
Point there are three aspects to how a meme becomes successful for both the meme and
its host:
PEOPLE =
Mavens
connectors
salesmen
MEME =
Law of the few
