Images, words, and processes are all able to be digitised. This includes the process of evolution . Digital evolution is more than electronic pets and a-life .

Like poetry, source code comprises structured lines on a page. Also like poetry, there are many forms of source code, in a variety of languages.

Software is a better memetic carrier than the human imagination because within the digital realm lies the potential for RoboMemes.
