The ideosphere , much like the noosphere , is the realm of memetic evolution, just like the biosphere is the realm of biological evolution. It is the "place" where thoughts, theories and ideasare thought to be created, evaluated  and evolved. The health of an ideosphere can be measured by its memetic diversity. The ideosphere is not considered to be a physical place by most people. It is instead " inside the minds " of all the humans in the world. It is also, sometimes, believed that the Internet, books and other media could be considered to be part of the ideosphere. Alas, as such media are not aware, it cannot process the thoughts it contains. Also ]  ,  like the biosphere, it also has niches, which serve as environments for groups or audiences. For instance,  an ideosphere is formed around a linguistic system that involves a mixture of cynicism and sentimentality as well as the violent appropriation of the other's word. Aaron Lynch claims to have co-invented this word with Douglas Hofstadter in the mid-1980s.   According to philosopher Yasuhiko Kimura, the ideosphere is in the form of a "concentricideosphere " where ideas are generated by a few people with others merely perceiving and accepting these ideas from these "external authorities."  He advocates an "omnicentric ideosphere " where all individuals create new ideas and interact as self-authorities. There is the notion that most of humanity remains the consumer instead of producer of ideas. To address this, Kimura proposed the so-called ideospheric transformation, triggered by a synergetic phenomenon produced by the emergence of a sufficient number of authentic and independent thinkers.
The ideosphere — like the noosphere (i.e., the realm of reason)—is the metaphysical 'place' where thoughts, theories , ideas, and ideation are regarded to be created, evaluated , and evolved. Analogous to the biosphere (the realm of biological evolution), the ideosphere is the realm of memetic evolution, where 'memes' take the role of biological genes.Grant, Glenn. 1990. " Memetic Lexicon. " Principia Cybernetica. (Also available in A Memetics Compendium PDF], pp. 820–25)Hofstadter, Douglas R. 1985. Metamagical Themas: Questions for the Essence of Mind and Pattern. New York: Basic Books. "ideosphere." As such, the ideosphere is an entire memetic ecology: the collective intelligence of all humans wherein memes live, reproduce, compete, and mutate.Lynch, Aaron. 1996. Thought Contagion: How Belief Spreads Through Society: The New Science Of Memes. The health of an ideosphere , in this sense, can be measured by its memetic diversity. Moreover, like the biosphere, it has ecological niches, which serve as environments for groups or audiences. For instance, some entities compete for ecological niches in the ideosphere, such as Buddha, Allah, the kami of Shinto, Satan, Jesus Christ in Christianity and in other religions, etc.Hale-Evans, Ron. 2008. "Memetics: A Systems Metabiology." Pp. 848–66 in A Memetics Compendium, edited by R. Finkelstein. Robotic Technology Inc. Another example, an ideosphere is formed around a linguistic system that involves a mixture of cynicism and sentimentality as well as the violent appropriation of the other's word. Douglas Hofstadter and Aaron Lynch are considered to have independently co-invented the term ideosphere in the mid-1980s. Lynch, Aaron. 1998. "Units, Events and Dynamics in Memetic Evolution."
