Man stands at huge window in on underwater world of the Dolphin Tank. He's
smoking a cigarette as he looks at a young dolhpin. He exhales a cloud of smoke.
Young dolphin swims to mother, takes a mouthful of milk. Swims back to
window, and exhales a white cloud of milk... smoke?
Would this classify as inter-species memetic transfer?
I'm pushing this non-human memes point because I see that more implicit
barriers have been put in place:
1 Memes are a human thing
2 Memes are linguistic
I don't like conceptual boundaries being too strict, because I know that
there's an infinite number of objects between the poles "whole apple" and
"all-eaten non-apple".
And I know that any high-school chemistry equation (these reactants change
into these products, end of story) is a brutal over-simplification.
