are NPC's basically the fundamental, person level unit, for describing egregores?

don't think i ever verbalized it but i thought a lot about people being incapable of doing anything surprising in service of egregores and how alienating it was before the meme took off

what are the fundamental differences between a meme-driven (reified: egregore-driven) goal and an "intentionality-driven" goal?

Interestingly, the term "egregore" comes from Greek ἐγρήγορος, "awoken, wakeful", whereas it is often represented as an unconscious process.

I assume the root of "egregore" refers to the "wakefulness" of the meme itself, becoming an organism who wants to survive and win.

It seems to have been coined by Victor Hugo in his Légende des siècles as an adjective from latin egregius, literally "ex-grex" (out-of-the-herd) which means "relating to the elite" and which gives "egregious" but then he later used it as a noun coined from Greek for "watcher"...
