    Raymond,

    There have been many descriptions on the list; meme seed, meme husk, symbolized
    meme, meme representation, etc., etc., etc., take your pick or make up a new
    one. I kind of like meme seed, myself, although I started off with husk...

    Inactive meme, nascent meme, idle meme, incomplete meme, and we can go on
    forever, I believe, and we do need some kind of standard nomenclature for it, I
    think. I'm sure that there is one we haven't thought of in the past...

    How about some suggestions, folks...

    Cordially,

    Bob
