a fnord is an antimeme, and infects any other meme it comes in contact with

enough repeated association w: fnords taints any meme; people don't like feeling bad, & try to avoid things which make them feel that way. should that something be an idea, it will quickly get tabooed.

unPC wrongspeak is an example of this effect; while most don't really care, repeated association of the ideas w/ fnords by the activist class has instrumentalized people's ugh fields to censor certain topics in a robust decentralized way. it's no one's fault, but also everyone's

fnord-injection is a kind of frame control; do so early enough and you will determine the narrative structure thru antimimesis

a black hole is not an antimeme, but it has antimemetic properties; its boundary is a information diode. bits that cross the Schwartzchild radius do not make it back out

similarly, secret-keepers are not antimemes, but possess antimemetic properties, albeit less binary ones

a perfect secret-keeper's information flux boundary is also a memetic diode; memes go in but don't go out, besides under very specific conditions

mostly nothing is a perfect secret-keeper, the diode being probabilistic. this applies to people, organizations, and deathtraps

antimemesis is a property describing a system's ability to restrict the memetic flow across its information boundary

antimemes are memes which induce this property in memetic hosts they reside in, to a varying degree depending on their antivirality

their R-naught is negative
