The study of form and function as contrapositive with respect to each other. An attempt to schematize design from form.
The study of skeumorphs (memes).
The study of skeumorphs (memes).
Memetics proffers the tenet that function and form are contra-functional.
Memetics isolates design from form by arguing that there is no duality that is not design.
This is the obverse of the postmodern mantra that "form follows function" and the genesis of Hypermodernism.

The energy formed with the creation of memes. Specifically, when a meme is formed, a certain amount of neutral energy is split into equal parts memetic energy and normie energy.
Memetic Energy also follows the Three Laws of Memetic Energy which go as follows:
The Law of Memetic Energy's Neutralization states that Memetic Energy, when not contained within a vessel we know as a 'meme' or a 'memer', will eventually combine with free normie particles to form neutral particles.
Memetic Energy can only come from Memetic Energy, it cannot be create or destroyed, only transferred or converted
The Law of Memetic Energy Origination states that Memetic Energy cannot be created from nothing, however, it can be separated from neutral particles, creating equal amounts of normie energy and Memetic Energy.

Aesthetic contra-reference that contains decidable information.
An augmented-reality attribute in hyper-reality that serves a functional purpose.
A virtual attribute made of a functional (homoiconic) computer language.
Contains attributes of aesthetic self-reference.
Direct technological precursor to conscious self-reference.

Get the memetic fuel mug.
Basically cultural appropriation but specifically regarding memes. Memetic appropriation is when somebody says a meme reference but they don't actually understand the context behind the meme and have no idea where the meme originated from. They only say it because everybody else is saying it.
User 1: This joke ain't even funny
User 2: r/wooosh
User 1: Stop memetic appropriating, you didn't even spell the sub right
