Joe if I may,
Wade's scheme works in the way that each tree, despite the fact they
are all trees, named as pines, all grow as different individuals.
IMO, he is right, each person is not genetical unique, but also
memetical. The idea of a memetic isomorphism can take root here...
The same kind of scheme is applied in the search for wales.
Scientists take pictures of individuals to recognize them within
the species they are investigatin ' !
