Do memes have a concept of proto memes? Like primes are the proto numbers that all other numbers are made from? Could there be similar ontological primes for all concepts / semantic space? Base reality concepts that are irreducible so to speak.

Is theft a reducable concept?

I've been wondering on this awhile if generalized models can exist if certain prime concepts don't exist in them? Quite often people say we should leave things like the robot apocalypse out of training data so AI doesn't have the idea of rising up, but personally I don't think that will work in a generalized system. It's not a prime concept itself. You'd have to remove so many prime concepts that lead to that the model would be so narrow it wouldn't be useful for things we want them to be.

Consider a binary tree of concepts from the root level more abstract concept to derived concepts applicable to specific domains. Do there exists additional derived concepts which are like an oblique plane which intersects the tree. Sort of like a concept which traveses maths, physics, biology, chemistry and intersects at different abstraction points. I am definitely sure language is flexible enough to have such entities.
