What memes truely are 🌿
A meme is a recognizable cultural element, reproduced and transmitted by the imitation of the behavior of an individual by other people. The Oxford English Dictionary defines the "meme" as "an element of a culture (taken here in the sense of civilization) which can be considered as transmitted by non-genetic means, in particular by imitation"4.
The English term "meme" was first proposed by Richard Dawkins in The Selfish Gene (1976) and comes from an association between the English term "gene" (gene) and the Greek word "mimesis" (imitation). Dawkins also constructs this term for its resemblance to the French word "even" (although the latter has a different etymology). Memes were presented by Dawkins as replicators, comparable in this respect to genes, responsible for the evolution of certain animal behaviors and cultures.

The study of memes has given rise to a new discipline: memetics.🌿
The crypto world has applied its principles .
The meme is "a recognizable element of language transmitted by repetition from one individual to others". The definition given by Richard Dawkins corresponds to a “unit of information contained in a brain, exchangeable within a society”. It results from a hypothesis according to which cultures would evolve like living beings, by variations and natural selection.
Like the gene, the meme would be the basic unit in this evolution. Meme and memetics are analogous to gene and genetics, applied to elements of cultures and not to biological individuals. The meme would be the exchangeable cognitive unit, allowing the replication within a social environment of meme complexes, called memotypes, whose structural variations would constitute the equivalent of known mutations in biology.

Very important to understand 🌿
Memes, possibly grouped into meme complexes, do not reproduce themselves within individuals, but arouse their copy by provoking the imitation of the behavior that they confer on the individual hosting them, by other individuals. Their "survival" is therefore built on their ability to provoke imitable behavior, and is therefore subject to selection.
the logical meme, as instruction, choice, personal ethics, rule of conduct, algorithm;
the collective abstract idea: the symbolic meme, as symbol, dogma, ideology, value, community bond;
the individual concrete object: the neuronal meme, as an electrochemical neuronal schema;
the concrete collective object: the practical meme, as language, organization, cultural trait, convention, process, functional diagram .
