    > Lamarckian evolution etc etc...

    You don't need Lamarck if you consider a shorter timebase where the meme
    you 'see' is not an entity but a succession of copies of itself (quick
    manifestation: the way ideas change in your mind over time). New
    'mutants'/'hybrids' occur on a short timescale - I could really push it
    and use the analogy of animation blurring many things into one...
