And each and every performance is just the same- a unique solution to the
problem of what step to take, or word to use, or turn to take, or smile, or
frown, or dance, or....
Wade
The following from:
An Exploration In
Mesoscopic Brain Dynamics
Professor Walter J Freeman
University of California, Berkeley, USA
representations - intentional gestures, words, numbers, and constructed
objects that elicit meaning in the process of communication, but which
themselves have no meaning
thought - a process by which Neuroactivity constructs meaning, modifies
intentional structure, and makes representations for purposes of
communication among humans and animals
-----------------
It would seem that what Wade calls memes Freeman calls "representations."
What I call memes are what Freeman calls thought. I would suspect that
Freeman has little or nothing to say on the subject of memes. But at least
what we are giving names to is common to the lexicons of all of us.
