Right!
A meme is a unit of information in the mind whose existence influences the
behavior of the host such that more copies of itself get created in other
minds.
A virus of the mind is a collection of memes, artifacts, and minds that by
its nature tends to replicate to other minds.
Behavior is the expression of a mind influenced by memes.
