    From the definition of meme at EMIT-

    "An idea or information pattern is not a meme until it causes someone to
    replicate it, to repeat it to someone else."

    Does not requiring the replication also require the thing that is
    replicated?

    Anyway, something is out there.

    What do you want to call it?
