I guess its just myself (and the tattered remnants of the Zanderian
Heresy) that want a certain accuracy in terminology when it comes to
this particular subset of the memetic lexicon. I have no problem with
"communication" as the organic term, because it implies that there is
more behind-the-scenes things going on.

I suppose I'm ahead of the tech curve in putting forth the possibility
that the signal is the part of the pattern responsible for
errors/variants of this limited nature. Maybe I'm an unbelievable
egoist, to put Rottie and Brodie to shame, but I like to fancy that
I'm making some headway in at least tackling and understanding the
form if not the function of the mechanisms.
