Cultural Entanglement

Canonical definition

Entanglement is the mutual shaping of Individuals' valuations by one another wherever imitation is at work, and Cultural Entanglement is Entanglement within a culture. Cultural Entanglement locates a domain's Collective Fixed Point: a population coupled within itself and weakly coupled to its neighbours settles at a value that is a property of the population rather than of the subject matter, and the coupling does not tighten the distribution around that value.
