"Memetica is an ‘ecology’ extending out from evolutionary biology in all its manifold diversity toward the limits of our scientific knowledge in both astro- and quantum physics. Among humans, this ‘ecology’ includes symbolic exchanges of value we find between individuals (even within an individual), in local human communities, and through global financial and trade markets. Calling what’s ‘out there’ and ‘what’s happening’ an ‘ecology’ points to a diverse, complex system – really systems of systems – that involves virtually infinite relationships and interactions that are what we call a ‘cause’ as we end up with an ‘effect.’"
