If a meme is a pattern, and behavior is a stream of information; then,
"Behavior refers to a meme if and only if the behavior can be simplified and
complexified without loss of information; in this way, the meme represents
the most simple form of a predictable behavior and thus replicates itself
through more complex expressions of itself."
