One of your precepts is flawed. f is not a meme any more than the word “all” is a meme in “all your base are belong to us”. f is defined by text within the overall meme, but while it is part of the meme, it is not the meme itself, as it lacks the context of the remainder of the meme. Your precept is like saying “9 is prime, because it is the prime number ‘19’”.
9 is not prime. It is part of the representation of the number 19.
f is not the meme. It is part of the context which defines the meme.
I could be wrong, but I’m fairly sure that, while ‘f’ is a function, ‘f(x)’ is the function’s output, not the function itself. So f(x) is a meme (as.long as x is a meme), because function f’s output is a meme. The function itself is a mathematical operation, not its output.
f and F are not memes, but functions which output memes.

What? No, the image explicitly says f is a meme.
It does not.

Yep. Just read it again. You’re absolutely correct.
