   3 A phylomemetic network (or phylomemy) is an adaptation
   4 of the concept of the phylogenetic tree,
   5 combined with Richard Dawkins' intuition of a meme,
   6 to describe the complex dynamic structure of transformation of relations between terms.

   8 This package is a partial implementation of some
   9 noteworthy algorithms composed to compute a phylomemy,
  10 in order to understand and test them.
