Leaving the Grid, Weaving the Field
Last time, we rode the hard lines of the MemeGrid,
stone corridors of control,
DODO’s loop beating like a war drum:
Debt → Ownership → Deadlines → Othering.
Maybe you felt it in your bones, like I did:
the hum of a life spent dodging payloads,
scrolling battlefields,
mistaking survival scripts for freedom.
But here’s the thing no grid can hold:
beneath the noise, beneath the doing—
there’s a silence.
Not emptiness.
Not escape.
A living hush.
A field waiting for your step.
A loom waiting for your hands.
If the MemeGrid is the map of mis‑freedom,
the Threadplex is a lens—
a way of noticing the weave that was always there.
It finds, even now, this “Cowboy” and this “Threadplex” acting as a MeMe riding from this mind to yours.
Feel it land. Sense if it hums.
Opening the Field
Step off the MemeGrid and the first thing you notice is the silence.
Not the dead quiet of isolation,
but the living hush of a field waiting to be heard.
Your pulse slows.
For the first time in a long while,
you feel not like a soldier, but like a source.
This is where the Threadplex begins.
Where the MemeGrid demands compulsory doing,
the Threadplex invites resonant being.
It doesn’t bark orders or keep score.
It hums. It listens.
It braids meaning into whatever still feels alive in you.
∴ The signal isn’t “out there.”
It’s humming in your bones. in Śabda-tanmātra (शब्द तन्मात्र)
How the Threadplex Emerges
A Threadplex doesn’t start in the cloud.
It starts in you—
from the first glance, the first lullaby,
the first story whispered into your ribcage.
Threads are vibrations of meaning:
stories, symbols, scents, songs.
Some pass through like wind.
Some clash and spark.
And some land and hum—
weaving themselves into the fabric that makes up your self.
This aligns with Pieter de Beer calls Internalization Architecture—
the living loom of memory, emotion, and symbolic orientation.
In the tongue of Memetic Ecology, we see the I‑Tube as this loom.
It braids the world into patterns you call me.
And at scale,
every loom connects to every other loom through their threads.
That’s the Threadplex:
Not the MemeGrid of battle.
Not a private fortress of self.
But a living ecology of resonant meaning.
And yes, it feels the phrase of “ecology of meaning,”
as a MeMe being thread from my loom to yours.
You can weave it, or ride onward, leaving it in the dust.
Sensing the Living Threads
In this newfangled realm of Memetic Ecology, to feel the Threadplex starts by noticing its subtle anatomy:
Thread: It finds signals vibrating as the patterns, gestures, phrases, or jokes exchanged in and around you.
I-Tube: It forms the loom: where incoming threads are woven into your personal meanings and behaviors.
My-stream: It feels and feeds the living current: your embodied, emotional flow of threads moving through your loom.
We-Sphere: It focuses on and fends for shared resonance of meaning between people, families, and cultures.
When threads repeat and resonate through your My-Stream, they shape your I‑Tube and its movements.
I-Tubes not only form themselves, but the living Threadplex they weave through.
These movements in the Threadplex make it hum,
supporting coherence in every We‑Sphere you touch.
Worlds are woven as we weave them—
often following patterns we cannot yet see.
Notice, as you read, it finds these very descriptions
flowing as threads into your I‑Tube right now.
From Memes to MeMes: Payloads → Patterns
The old memetics frame treated a meme like a payload:
a cultural bullet fired from one mind into another.
Something to deliver, stick, and replicate.
But lives don’t run on payloads.
They run on patterns.
MeMes are meta‑memes—
living patterns that guide how you weave experience.
A MeMe doesn’t just transmit content;
it activates authorship.
It turns incoming threads into self‑aware loops of integration.
MEMES Cycle
(Mirror → Evaluate → Modulate → Express → Sense)
Mirror – Notice the thread as it lands in your My‑Stream.
Evaluate – Feel its resonance: does it braid or bind?
Modulate – Adjust the pattern: soften, stretch, or rethread as needed.
Express – Let the pattern emerge in gesture, word, or act.
Sense – Receive the feedback in self and field as the loop renews.
This cycle is recursive → generative → sovereign.
Every MeMe is a kind of meta‑thread that lets you re‑author experience—
weaving new energy into the Threadplex
instead of looping the old scripts of the Grid.
It now finds this very framework acting as a MeMe.
Your choice. If it hums, braid it in. If not, compost it.
A MEMES cycle helps you discern threads of light as “lumeme” or those of dark as “usurpene.”
Lumeme 🌞: A memetic thread that expands, illuminates, harmonizes, and synthesizes with the Field.
Usurpene 🌑: A memetic thread that contracts, hooks, hijacks, or occupies mental real estate into the Grid.
MeMes loop into the Field and Echo for those who hear. They aim to weave lumemes into the Threadplex.
They don’t spread like wildfire. They flow and settle into rhythm. They listen before they lodge.
And that shift—from delivery to emergence—that’s where the magic kicks in.
Yielding Orientation to the Unfolding (YOU)
The Threadplex asks one thing:
Yield to the living weave.
Yielding – Let incoming threads arrive without grasping or pushing away.
Feels like widening, softening, or opening the breath.Orientation – Turn awareness toward your own loom, the I‑Tube.
Is this a braid of resonance or a knot of defense?Unfolding – Watch experience as vibrations seeking coherence.
Threads turn into patterns as you attend to their motion.
YOU is the stance that allows MeMes to function.
It turns perception into participation.
It makes you a steward of your own living weave.
Even “YOU” is a MeMe, my friend—
a mnemonic meant to ride along until you no longer need the reins.
Reweaving the World
What if freedom wasn’t escape,
but presence?
What if every glance, gesture, and half‑formed thought
was already part of a living weave—
a silent music waiting for your ear to tune?
What if the elements themselves—
breath, water, fire, soil, edge, and growth—
were all MeMes,
threads whispering:
Braid me into your life,
and I will braid you into the world.
Begin within.
Follow what hums.
Let the threads of breath, feeling, focus, growth, edge, and soil
weave in you before they weave out into the We‑Sphere.
The Threadplex is not a fortress.
Not even a thing.
It’s a lens,
a way of seeing the living field
and re‑authoring how you meet it.
If you carry this MeMe, do so lightly.
Weave it if it hums.
Compost it if it hardens.
Either way, the Field waits.
The threads are already moving.

Closing the Loop
From MemeGrid to Field.
From payloads to patterns.
From stories that command to stories that commune.
The Threadplex doesn’t ask for belief.
It asks for presence.
Bring your grief.
Bring your joy.
Bring your half‑formed, trembling things.
The reweaving of the world
does not start with conquest—
it starts with noticing.
And if you listen—softly, openly,
like a hand brushing tall grass in the unseen field—
you will feel the freedom of the threads,
and know the braid has already begun.
And maybe, just maybe, you’ll smile at the idea of Threadplex itself—
a MeMe riding through your mind,
already fading into the wider weave.
