Memetics are concerned with the transfer of ideas and are intentionally analogous to Genetics. They are then intentionally used to transpose or transplants ideas between individuals. This can be done with direct interpretation by involving more explanation by the use of text or by the use of symbolic or popular culture references to allow for the individuals own interpretation to themselves by association to the idea.
In essence then the symbolic process actually allows for the transfer of ideas more readily as it can explore ideas more generalised to the users own experiences with a new interpretation applied to it. This is why Memes generally have recognised protagonists (e.g. Bad Luck Brian) as their symbolic reference with a minimal amount of explanation to actually convey a interpretive "meaning".
As such Memetics is not literally about factual transference as this only represents one potentially occasion of a potential experience from one persons experience of the same idea, though it can be used for such and can translate well if a logical expression is used of course.
With the idea then that ideas are transferred through Memetics like Genetics it also allows for the social growth and evolution of those ideas by the very success of the Memetic process and people taking on board their own interpretation of those ideas. As such sometimes you have to also accept that it may then also grow or dynamically change through interaction as more interpretation is applied to it. Such that in some cases the originally seed idea can evolve into something completely different. This is what Memetics is actually about and not simply the recording of historical events, they are designed to install a social dialouge and to transpose ideas that can grow beyond their original parameters.
This is why social culture references are so inherantly involved with the Memetic process historically, as it is more a process of social interaction.
Thus constraining the content of Memes to just the factually understood content about MWO does not allow for creativity, imagination or ideas to be explored beyond the boundaries of current theory. It also as an extra limitation then that it reduces the amount of dialogue a community can have about its subject material which if anything is counterproductive to a social mechanism being effective.
So sorry Roland, not only are you miss-understanding Memetics, but I think your "request" is attempting to place unnecessary limitations to Memesters being able to have an effective social dialogue.
