There's 2 distinct memes in that thingy...the part involving a
wish and transmission to others, and the part involving people and
songs. Now there seems to be no direct connection in the subject of the
two. but, without both parts the meme set would undoubtedly fail;
without the wish part, transmission to other hosts would be a slow
process, without the people and song part, it would be of little
interest and credibility.
interesting...i wonder what other dual(or more) meme sets exist. cant
be a meme complex like a religion, for each of the counter parts are
interrelated unlike the wish game meme set.
the parameters mentioned would facilitate transmission...it would cut
down the max number of host infection, but a host will be more likely to
transmit when given a reasonable task.
ok...off to bed...for real this time
