Hi Ray Recchia -
>How do you know whether someone has a meme or not? You ask them.
And their response is a behavior.

As there are a number of memes possibe to perform from the knowledges and
descriptions of any of the planets and systems of planets and
astronomical interactions.
What is performed is the meme. The rest is prologue.
In the same way you are not the romantic candlelit dinner on the night of
your conception.
