But viral epidemiology is more accurate. Each individual mind represents a unique decision point and a unique evolutionary vector. Each person’s memeplex is unique. Each person adapts and uses their own version of a meme. No one shares identical copies of any meme.

I am just worried about a misleading idea that the memes themselves are an identical network between human node-endpoints. In reality humans are the creative force that modify, update, and propagate new and better memes.
