      Maybe this 'difference/sameness' is the difference between

      'The word' and ' The act' - two strains of memetic traits. linked perhaps by the trail of the lizard over sand 'telling it's story' with a beginning/middle/end and dinner.
      (or the word & the deed)

      an unusual compulsion to interrupt made me write- honest!?

        - 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?
