A meme is a mental gene, controlling the thought process. This effects behaviour, and propagates a pattern. All knowledge that is handed down is comprised of memes. Memes can be slogans, melodies, icons or inventions, but they only become memes when someone begins to reproduce them and pass them on. Religious and political dogmas, social movements and styles, traditions and customs, paradigms and languages are meme complexes.
