    More off as I pointed it out,meme-complexes are in some extend comparable with
    morphogenetic fields_as selfstabilising structures which resists attempts to be
    takin' over from other memes/fields by creating conditions of belief (memes) and by
    transmission of learned systems into habitual traits.
    The unit/vector/agent or field in which meme-complexes then are the building blocks,responsible for the characteristic form/acceptable facts/behaviours or the
    admissible organisation of cultural/political/biological meme-structures,on each
    level of complexity/validity and usefullness,belongs to preceding thereupon suppor-
    ting structures/meme-complexes:-the build up is organised upon the sort of self-
    replicated information (imitation if you like) of past meme-complexes for each
    suchlike idea/argumant/belief or task;the influence of previous structures of activity
    is called morphic resonance_how bigger the degree of similarity (or copy fidelity),
    how greater the influence of morphic resonance (or how great the possibilty of the
    memes to propagate becomes).
    To my view,meme-complexes are morphogenetic (information) fields which shape
    order by/participates in structures with which they are or will be connected (by
    morphic resonance if you like) by influencin' events/ideas/arguments/organisations,
    which are_from a human perspective,as really experienced/felt/alive to see;they
    lay upon the genetic/psychological possible results of natural,selective and com-
    plex processes a distinctive pattern.There is in some sense a group of cells awai-
    ting to be subdivided in subsequent development-issues.
