Cultural selection refers to the process of reducing the number of product options as they move through cultural channels. This occurs as some products gain acceptance and become popular, while others are rejected and become obsolete. Diffusion refers to the spread of a product or idea through a population, cooptation refers to the process of absorbing an idea or product into a larger system, and cultural mapping refers to the analysis and mapping of cultural trends and consumer behavior. None of these fully capture the process of reducing product numbers.
