TransMeme

A "transmeme" is a special kind of nomadic "gene" (gyn) fertilizing symbiopoyeticaly different fields of knowledge.

One research-group may be considered a memetic organism.

After years of systemic "invasion" of systemic-thinking-and-practise in more and more societal spaces, we can defend that "systems-thinking has won".

At non-university education, different reforms have produced "a fresh air" of systemic thinking and learning.

At entrepreneurial level, systems science is also well extended. Corporations are networking organism interrelated with other population of networks.

But it is at university level where hiperspecialization seemed to habe obscured the good systemic records we have from the other societal levels.

What happens in universities? Ous (systemic) opinion is that universities actualy offers "the two faces of the coin". It is evident, when we criticaly approach to the static and hierarchical structure of the conventional classroom, that system thinking is not very extended in universities. But universities are organisms very diverse among themselves. The same we could say about the "invasion" of Information and Communication Technologies. According to the university "x" or "y", we will find a different level of university "invasion".

The point here, independently of these argument, it is that the extended development of many systemic theories in many fields of knowledge, has produced according to our opinion a critical mass of systemic theories.

These systemic theories are a kind of "gyn" or "transmeme", because their mere existence augures a high-speed contagion among many other "distant" disciplines.

We must take in account the native digital revolution that is increasing every year. Nowadays life of Native-Digital is marked by a literal embodiment in these new technologies. In that way our results were predictable because all these technologies function as networks. By this reason, all these Native Digital generations modulates their life to the system thinking and action approach embeded in all these technologies.

By this reason we have no problem at all with the Inmigrant Digital population that, susprisingly, are still in the process of partial incorporation to these technologies. Among these Inmigrant Digital are many university teacher whose research is closest to lineal-thinking than system-thinking.

So, this systemic revolution has been produced, in symbiosis, by different societal grups of actors/actress. In the "archipelago" of today scientific tribal endeavour, we assist to a significant sprouting of systemic theories.

By their integrative character, systemic theories may be applied to many other fields of knowledge. The sucessive interaction within different systemic theories increase mutually their power "to jump" or "surfing" accross many fields of knowledge. This contagion among disciplines by systemic theories act as "reticular-bossoms".
