A model of evolution and cultural development proposing that intelligence, civilization, and technological aptitude are not inevitable outcomes of natural selection, but were "seeded" or catalyzed by an external, informational intervention (named after the Sumerian god of wisdom, water, and civilization who gave humans me—the divine rules of society and art). This hypothesis doesn't necessarily imply aliens, but rather a fundamental "leak" of complex information or a quantum of negentropy into early terrestrial systems—a punctured event in our evolutionary timeline that accelerated cognitive and cultural complexity beyond standard Darwinian gradualism.
