From: Entropy and complexity unveil the landscape of memes evolution

Mutation rate of memes. Left column: distribution of instances’ inter-arrival times (\(\Delta t\)); central column: lifetime distribution of memes; right column: exemplary growth curve of meme adoption. Each row correspond to a typical size of meme cluster. Interestingly, the larger the cluster size the longer the lifetime. However, long lasting memes template shows skewed distributions for the inter-arrival times (\(\Delta t\)). This highlights the tendency of long lasting memes to undergo strong early adoption.
