Then you think of the sender (tx) and the receiver (tx) and the channel its sent over (culture, personal, nation, language etc) and you need stories and memes that are universal enough to survive the signal noise / packet loss / data loss - and it makes sense why universally understandable stories spread (thanks Shannon)
