If we can express the behavior of ideas in memetic shorthand, then they
might bypass the intentionality of the reader and replicate themselves
according to the host's "meme-set" (the reader's OWN experience and
knowledge as these relate to the content of the meme; though which might
surely and otherwise be expressed in a well-presented "package" of the
writer's own-- I would say *genetic*-- packaging... the writer's "egg"
[shell, albumen, yolk, and all]).
*I assume there will be argument about my use of the word "concise" to
refer to my own posts. While "concise" might be interpreted "to the
point" ("the point" being what someone ELSE might get out of the post),
or "short but UNDERSTANDABLE"; I know that my posts often neither speak
to the position of the reader nor to their comprehension. Nonetheless,
"concise"-- to me-- implies that there is an arrangement of words which
best speaks to the IDEAL (yes, this assumes that there are ideals
expressed by words rather than they be expressed solely through social
agreement of the participants as to their meaning-- that is, I assert
that there is meaning in certain concise arrangements of ideas even if
no one "understands" that meaning).
