The sentence
Sophont philosophy and cultures were formed, reformed, and remade as sophisticated memetic tools performed their work.
is ambiguous. I suspect it is meant "as ... tools manipulated people's actions." but it could also be taken as "as ... tools labored on people's behalf."
I've adjusted the sentence as follows:
Sophont philosophies and cultures were formed, reformed, and remade as sophisticated memetic tools performed their work upon them.
Does this work better?
