===Culture as a stabilizing mechanism===
Modern cultural theory also considers the possibility that (a) culture itself is a product of stabilization tendencies inherent in evolutionary pressures toward self-similarity and self-cognition of societies as wholes, or [[tribalism]]s. See [[Stephen Wolfram]]'s ''[[A new kind of science]]'' on iterated simple algorithms from genetic unfolding, from which the concept of culture as an operating mechanism can be developed,<ref>* Wolfram, S., ''[http://www.wolframscience.com/nksonline A New Kind of Science]''.</ref> and [[Richard Dawkins]]' ''[[The Extended Phenotype]]'' for discussion of genetic and [[memetic]] stability over time, through [[negative feedback]] mechanisms.<ref>Dawkins, R. 1982. ''[[The Extended Phenotype]]''</ref>
