so what your saying is that information, such as negative numbers, is a
meme? i do not yet have the *meme* of natural logs yet because i have
not yet discoverred how to apply euler's constant. (what is it: e = 1 +
1/1! + 1/2! + 1/3!.... 1/x!) does it extend beyond math? ask someone
if they can name what mode a song is in and if they cant it is because
they have not yet aquired the music theory meme(s)?

one of supreme court justices on what is pornography - "i cant explain
it but i know it when i see it" ... thats how memes are to me. im not
one to go searching for neural codes and call it a meme. like a virus,
a meme's only purpose is to aquire a host and replicate no matter what
effect on the host. and that is how i separate a meme from
/information/ (for lack of a better word).
