It can only be re-performed if it is internally stored between the first and
second performances, and since replication may begin with a single
individual and an audience, the communication of that which is
internally stored from transmitter to receiver is the replication of the
meme - which means that the meme itself is the encoded semantic
content which is thus transmitted, and the performance is just a medium
by which transmission occurs. Performance is the television; the meme
is the program.
