I'd like to solve the `hard AI' problem, too, but a man's got to know
his limitations. :) I don't expect Memetics to be any harder field

of the topic, the science has to be similarly fluid.

I think it might be the process of /accessing/ memory where the actual
mechanisms of memetics rear. Its only when you're considering
information, reviewing it, etc, that memes interact.
