mso-ansi-language:EN-US" lang="EN-US">The clear constraints
in the sociotype quantitative distributions,
to which the “econophysics” of the Planckian Distribution
Equation (PDE) may be
applied, represent an extra argument for considering our
communicative
interactions as immersed in an “attention economy”. This
seems to widely apply
to the world of culture as well. Current approaches to the
decay of scientific
and cultural items are pointing in a similar direction, and
this suggests that there
might be a universal law of decay presumably based on a
generalized competition
stemming from the optimization of individual cognitive
resources. The limited
sociotype, actually our most important cognitive reserve,
symbolizes the extent
of such individual limitation.</span></p>

style="font-size:12.0pt;mso-fareast-font-family:"Arial

mso-bidi-font-family:Calibri;mso-ansi-language:EN-US"
lang="EN-US">. The historical
differentiation of generations ultimately relates to the
imprinting of values, tastes,
and styles of thinking taking place during youth and early
adulthood along the
ontogenetic development of the individual. Mostly produced out
from two basic relational
dimensions of the sociotype – friends and colleagues – this
imprinting introduces
a strong bias in the maintenance, decay, and replacement of
cultural items. Each
cohort would be attracted towards the new vision, tastes, and
fashions upheld
by the own generation. </span><br>

lang="EN-US">The decay of cultural
elements has been accelerated, and biased, with preference for
much faster
discarding the items of the previous generations, the contents
of the received
world. Factually, “doubling generations” become “halving
generations,”
systematically pruning the previous cultural legacy which
already contains in
itself the remains of previously decimated legacies. Like
competing for writing
on a vanishing palimpsest: each ascending generation brings
its own new contents
and relegates more and more of the distant past to oblivion,
to increasingly
outdated text books, archives, museums, etc. “As the economy
grows, the past
recedes”. </span></p>

And this is compounded with dramatic changes in new
communication media and new
interconnected systems of worldwide extension. What are the
consequences? Let
us leave this as an open question—only stating the formidable
ignorance of the

included two of the paper's Concluding Comments.
Seemingly, very few authors have explored the limits
of cognition. According to Booker (2004) and Yates
(1988) it is one of the weakest points of our whole
scientific system. Factically, how do we transcend the
limits of our individual capabilities? What collective
tricks --or surrogates-- have we developed? <br

Maintenance, decay, and replacement of cultural
items are necessarily linked to forgetfulness and
to the limited cognitive capability of
individuals. As intuited by J.L. Borges (1944),
there cannot be an unlimited capability for
individual memory. The term <i style="">cognit</i>,
crafted by J. Fuster (2003), is proposed in order
to visualize an order of magnitude for such
individual capability. What could be the average
global cognits maintained by an educated
individual? What kinds of cognits are needed to
navigate in a cultural niche, or to follow a
particular way of life? How could this cognitive
limitation relate to the evolution and renewal of
cultures?</span></div>

industrial revolution, a threshold was crossed
regarding the “adjacent possible” and an
exponential course was ignited for the economy,
creating a higher number of new material and
mental structures that have continued multiplying
on an exponential basis. Each passing generation
has been able to substantially and systematically
increase the whole contents of its material world,
adding up an entire new world to the received one.
But the sheer amount of new habits necessary for
social life in industrial and postindustrial
societies has forced individuals to generationally
absorb an almost duplicate amount of cultural
presences, of cognits, in their inner mental
spaces. <br clear="none">

<div>Dear FIS Friends,</div>
<div>Jorge Navarro and me have just published a
paper entitled "SOCIOTYPE AND CULTURAL
EVOLUTION : The acceleration of cultural
change alongside industrial revolutions" <br
clear="none">
</div>
<div>The link is this: <a rel="nofollow"

moz-do-not-send="true">https://doi.org/10.1016/j.biosystems.2020.104170</a></div>
<div>And the Abstract is below.</div>
<div>It contains a series of hypothesis that can
be useful for our discussions. I will post
some of them in next days. Also Howard Bloom
has published in the same Special Issue of
BioSystems (Evolutionary Dynamics of Social
Systems) a very intriguing essay on
"biopolitics", about the bacterial roots of
the new autocracies. More will follow...<br

<div class="yiv3969426027MsoNormal"
style="MARGIN-BOTTOM:6pt;TEXT-ALIGN:justify;LINE-HEIGHT:16pt;"><i><b>Abstract:
</b>The present work explores, from the
vantage point of the sociotype, the dramatic
acceleration of cultural change alongside
the successive industrial revolutions,
particularly in the ongoing information</i><i>
era. </i><i>Developed within the </i><i>genotype-phenotype-sociotype</i><i>
</i><i>conceptual triad, the sociotype</i><i>
means the average social environment that is
adaptively demanded by the “social brain” of
each individual.</i><i> For there is a
regularity of social interaction, centered
on social bonding and talking time, which
has been developed as an adaptive trait,
evolutionarily rooted, related to the
substantial size increase of human groups. A
quantitative approach to the sociotype basic
traits shows fundamental competitive
interrelationships taking place within an
overall “attention economy.” Approaching
these figures via the Planckian Distribution
Equation, they can be connected with many
other competitive processes taking place in
the biological, economic, and cultural
realms. Concerning culture, the cognitive
limits of the individual, which we consider
commensurate with the sociotype general
limitations, impose by themselves a strict
boundary on the cultural items effectively
handled by each individual, fostering the
overall competition and decay. Further, the
emergence of differentiated generations with
ample discrepancy in styles of life, social
aspirations, and dominant technologies would
represent a systematic bias in the
competition and replacement of cultural
items. Intriguingly, the cultural
acceleration detected in modern societies
alongside the successive industrial
revolutions, with an ostensible climax in
the ongoing fourth industrial revolution
–the information era– might be itself a
paradoxical consequence of the sociotype’s
dynamic constancy.</i></div>
