Combinatorial Memetics: The process of generating novel cultural value by systematically permuting and sequencing discrete units of meaning (memes/videos) to discover high-stickiness configurations. Unlike traditional "remixing," which is often random, combinatorial memetics implies a deliberate, algorithmic approach to maximizing viral fitness through structural arrangement.

The Atomic Unit: 1 video (10s) = 1 Meme.

The Combinatorial Act: Sequencing 154 of them where the transition ($N \to N+1$) creates the meaning.

The Result: A "Macro-Meme" (the thread) that is greater than the sum of its parts.
