Re: general public contract, I found parts of Legal Systems Very Different From Ours interesting for exactly this topic. Religious legal systems, for example, are mostly implemented on top of more general legal systems in today’s first world.
Among those having it, it will be zero-sum of course—and tricky, because fixed-point algorithms will need to be developed.
I had in mind it being used to compete for limited resources. But I like the idea that it could be used for improved collaboration. What did you have in mind?
Tools allowing a group to intentionally choose their memes sound like they could be useful in much the same way as genetic engineering. Like genetic engineering of group culture. I imagine it would be especially useful as group size increases, potentially making large group cooperation less inherently unstable.

Why would this necessarily be zero sum?
