Idea

A unit of information in a person's mind. Can be Explicit, Inexplicit, Conscious, or Unconscious.

Ideas are the building blocks of Knowledge. Not all ideas are memes — only those that produce copyable behavior spread from mind to mind. Ideas can conflict with each other, creating problems that drive knowledge growth.
