 !!!Meme-replication 
  
 ---- 
-To be replicated, a [meme] must pass successfully through four subsequent stages: 1) [assimilation|meme-assimilation] by an individual, who thereby becomes a [host] of the [meme]; 2) [retention|meme-retention] in that individual's memory; 3) [expression|meme-expression] by the individual in language, behavior or another form that can be perceived by others; 4) [transmission|meme-transmission] of the thus created message or [meme vehicle|meme-vehicle] to one or more other individuals. This last stage is followed again by stage 1, thus closing the [replication|meme-replication] loop. At each stage there is [selection|meme-selection], meaning that some [memes|meme] will be eliminated. ([Heylighen, Francis|PersonHeylighenFrancis], 2001)
