Dear Robin,

Robin:

A more important point, that only just occurred to me, is that we shouldn't really be looking for replication of *forms* because the replicators are the memes, that the forms carry in code.

Bill:

Ah, the polymorphous P-meme! <s>

If you mean "looking for" metaphorically, I am with you. But methodologically the only replication that we can verify are forms.

Best,

Bill
