Mario,

It is probably tangential to the discussion, but I'll point out that my
model for memes does not expect anyone to find 'recessive' memes.
Memetic replication is analogous to mitosis, so there isn't the pairing
available in meiosis which produces 'recessive trait' exhibitions in
phenotypes.

I posted the process for memetic mitosis here 9 Oct 97.
