I'm thinking these days, that to my mind, any good definition of a meme
should begin with: "A meme is a pattern of stimulus that effects a mind (or
cognating device) such that..."
As in:
A meme is a pattern of stimulus that effects a mind such that... (it
causes) that subspace of A{m} (which contains the replication meme, as well
as it's related meme-complex) to be mapped from A{m} to I{n} (n is the new
host).
