This was such a great post! theadvancedapes, I like your brain. Atechnogenesis: an event in cultural evolution when cultural replication can independently occur within a substrate of its own design. Culture Code: carried in symbols (i.e, A, B, C, D, E, F, G / 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 / + – x % $ ) and structured within language. I pulled these two definitions because I feel like they are reliant on each other. Am I correct in my understanding of how the occurrence of atechnogensis would happen: Humanity would have to create a Culture Code, once humanity created a Culture Code, this Culture Code created by humanity then creates it's own Culture Code. One Culture Code then creates another Culture Code and this called Cultural Evolution. The product of this we would call Atechnogensis? With Culture Code, is there any human activity that falls outside the scope of culture code? Thanks, great post!
