That's what you get for sending email off before you're fully awake in the
morning -- I should have added at the end of that message, which I hope will
immediately precede this one in your incoming email folder:
Just as one meme is differently encoded in different brains, but encoded
nevertheless, so meaning is not uniformly, syntactically encoded in language,
but is surely encoded there even so. And the main (only?) key to decoding it,
once the syntax has been handled, is context. We might surmise that context,
in some sense, is also the key for memes.
