Very interesting....
I would only but this but-
>Also, the "complete thought" MUST be a WRITTEN one
- that I think there is something very right about the above statement,
in that culture (vs society- after all, ants have a 'society') should be
artefactual- but, I would contend that art (images, dances, rituals,
etc.) are just as valid as writing to be cultural artefacts, and thus
contain 'memes' under your refining definition.
Yes, no?
