What makes cyber egregores unique is they can be parasitic to one substrate while mutualistic to another.
I wonder if this is really unique? It seems like a normal egregore could probably also have this feature. For example could it make sense to say that a religion was parasitic to its humans, but mutualistic to its material culture (because the humans spend all their energy building churches/printing bibles)? Or that some horse worshipping nomadic mongol empire was parasitic to its horses but mutualistic to its humans (or vice versa)?
Yeah. I agree with this. This is an important aspect of what I’m pointing to when I mention “densely venn” and “preference independent” in this comment.
