being an emergent phenomenon of the polarization of numerous memetic hosts, comparable to our own higher selves, egregores are varyingly reified at various points in time, depending on how strongly their components are being activated; people aren't always using all their memes!

@egregirls Egregores wake up a different person every day just like we do.

egregores are only conscious on occasion, when their coherence, and hence goals, are at risk
like us, they spend most of their time in a waking dream, albeit in the noösphere

when the system is a hyperobject, this entails a sort of agentic recursion; the overlay system emerges from the substrate's collective behavior, but to protect itself in a crisis, it incarnates in an individual, an avatar, empowered to take the…

every organism has an OODA loop, and egregores are no different; otherwise, could they even be termed living? memes capable of giving rise to one such must code for a capability for self-awareness, in some capacity

this is known as the OODA loop: observe, orient, decide, and act. commonly used in strategic planning, such as by militaries, but it's a useful concept when modeling any agentic system. the experience mach…

a living organism, capable of introspecting internal state and incorporating it into its actions is, by definition, cybernetic; a self-referential agentic control system.
as such, it must be capable of change and adaptation, to be able to respond to environmental conditions.
any cybernetic system will change over time, even in a vacuum; embedded within a complex informational environment, however, it will evolve at breakneck pace. is it then any surprise that the egregores we coexist with evolve the same way we do?

our model of society is cybernetic; we take sensory inputs, construct models & predict behavior of others to decide on courses of action. our self-model is a major input; our …
