Lucifer has programmed two new types of objects for TheIdeosphere, belief systems and memes. To host memes you have to be carrying a belief system (which might be named "bs" or "mind" or something similar). If you look at a belief system it will tell you which memes it contains. While you are carrying the belief system you can use the following commands:

adopt

Syntax: adopt <meme>

Moves a object named <meme> that you are carrying into your belief system. If successful it will say "You now believe in <meme>." Only meme objects may be adopted. A meme object is any object with a .actions property and/or a .thoughts property.


reject

Syntax: reject <meme>

Moves a meme object from your belief system into your inventory. If successful it will say "You no longer believe in <meme>."


infect

Syntax: infect <who> with <meme>

This will copy the meme and transfer it to <who>, who must be another user. The meme must be in your belief system in order to infect someone else.


engage <bs>

This will activate your belief system, which causes it to periodically pick a random meme from you belief system and make you do or say something according to that meme.


disengage <bs>

This will deactivate your belief system so that you regain total control of your actions.
