It is recognizeable as the selfsame meme when instructions can be
faithfully followed (transmission/reception occurring via encoding
meaning within the action/perception connections that people may
make), but there are also opportunities for mutation and selection; thus,
memes may evolve. Intentional mutation and selection occurs
internally, when modifying a received meaning before subsequent
transmission, and when deciding whether to accept or reject a received
meaning.
