memetic evolution is so fast, every brain to brain transfer includes mutatio=
n.
If not in the brain to expression step, then in the decoding, expression to
brain.
(the two usual models of memetic evolution beeing; changes in the expression
state; or memes figthing and consilidating memes, code partially overwriting
or merging with other code)
