Brinkmann et al., Machine Culture, arXiv:2311.11388; DOI 10.1038/s41562-023-01742-2.Treat intelligent systems as possible mediators or generators of cultural variation, transmission, and selection.AI agents, recommenders, platforms, or toolchains are only external aids.MediationSystemOrArchitectureRefs, recognition and selection regimes, transmission, memory, and canon refs stay visible in CulturalEvolutionCaseCard@Context.
Czaplicka, Baumann, and Rahwan, algorithmic mediation and cumulative culture, arXiv:2410.00780; DOI 10.1098/rsif.2024.0686.Recover platform or algorithmic mediation by identifying the mediating System or architecture, any local system-role classification or direct participation relation, the recognition or selection relation, the measurement or visibility relation, and the actual scope or model-use boundary.platform regime becomes a root ontology or a mere publication label.MediationSystemOrArchitectureRefs, SelectionOrRecognitionRegimeRefs, and ApplicablePatternRefs identify the needed rule before platform wording is used.
Yaman, Tian, and Lindstrom, semantic knowledge and cultural evolution, arXiv:2510.12837; DOI 10.1073/pnas.2530750123.Keep method families, work families, characteristic spaces, canon or memory epistemes, and recognition regimes explicit.Culture is shared vocabulary, random variation alone, or a genre tree.MethodFamilyRefs, WorkFamilyRefs, CanonOrMemoryEpistemeRefs, and CharacteristicSpaceRefs are required when semantic knowledge is the live claim.
Tchernichovski et al., editing constraints in cultural evolution, arXiv:2502.16694.Treat editing constraints as constraints on variant sets, characteristic spaces, and effect measurement.Style engineering is unconstrained idea generation or one scalar taste score.VariantSetRefs, CharacteristicSpaceRefs, and measurement or refresh exits must be named when a style intervention targets constraints; any claim that constraints actually changed still cites its exact A.3.4 and Work-to-change basis.
Marjieh et al., cultural-evolution mechanisms in experimental social networks, arXiv:2502.12847.Keep topology, selection, reproduction, social-learning, and mediation relations recoverable.Cultural evolution is one isolated innovation channel.CollectiveHolonRefs, local-kind and separate classification refs, any assignment-species and assignment-occurrence refs, SelectionOrRecognitionRegimeRefs, and mediation refs are kept together in the case card.
Lee et al., melody and rhythm coevolution, arXiv:2605.05982.Allow several feature-specific characteristic spaces inside one style or tradition case.A style label proves one monolithic trajectory.CharacteristicSpaceRefs may carry several feature spaces before selected-set or bridge claims rely on the label.
Gautheron et al., popularity feedback in cultural markets, arXiv:2602.09997.Keep popularity feedback, visibility, recognition, selection, and measurement relations explicit.Popularity or platform metrics are neutral evidence of value.SelectionOrRecognitionRegimeRefs, measurement refs, and ApplicablePatternRefs identify whether to use C.36, C.18, G.5, G.11, or an evidence pattern.
Current QD and open-ended-engineering rows, including the 2026 Quality-Diversity survey DOI 10.1016/j.swevo.2025.102240.Keep archives, fronts, current pools, selected-set result declaration, evaluator relations, generalization pressure, and refresh distinct from the cultural-evolution case. When publication is current, also keep the source-backed face and source return distinct from the publication occurrence and audience availability.C.36 absorbs archive, front, pool, selected-set, publication, or refresh semantics.Use C.18 for archive and front relations, C.19 for current-pool treatment, G.5 for selected-set result declaration, G.11 for currentness and refresh, E.17 for a source-backed publication face and return to source, and E.24.PUB for the publication occurrence, form, carrier, audience, bounded use, and availability. Use C.36 only for the cultural-evolution case.

Source-use currentness. One row’s adopted move, rejected overread, and named field or boundary form the smallest source-use decision and stay current only until its cited edition changes, a materially newer cultural-evolution or algorithmic-mediation result challenges that transfer, the current QD/OEE line changes its archive, front, pool, selection, or refresh account, or a directly consumed FPF interface changes. At that trigger, recheck only the affected row and exact field or boundary; revise or withdraw an unsupported transfer and leave unrelated rows current.
