I have no idea. I'll forward this to some gooroos I know and see if any
of them have an idea... we all could use a thousand good-karma points...

When a meme catches on, it may crystallize whole schools of thought.
Take the "black hole" meme, for instance. As physicist Brandon Carter
has commented in Stephen Hawkings's _A Brief History of Time - A
Reader's Companion_: "Things changed dramatically when John Wheeler
invented the term [black hole]... Everybody adopted it, and from then
on, people around the world, in Moscow, in America, in England, and
elsewhere, could know they were speaking about the same thing." Once
the "black hole" meme became commonplace, it became a handy source of
metaphors for everything from illiteracy to the deficit.
