In general, important concepts, prime
memes, can be related to one or two colors. This is done by observing what the
meme necessarily involves. What it can't do without. In a listing of types of
TV shows, for example, one might have the category "Sports". It is
quite obvious that the one thing that a sport cannot do without is
conflict. That is, winners and losers, high scores and low scores, success and
failure. Sports might have rules (yellow)
but in extreme cases (Calvinball) they don't. Somebody might be in charge (blue) of a team or be a coach
(blue) but single players may not have one. There may be extreme interest (green) but then again some
sports are boooring. Big prizes, payoffs (orange) but maybe it's all
personal satisfaction. And a sport may reflect (purple) some other activity
(paint ball) but maybe not. And so on. But conflict there must be. (red) Whether the conflict is
social, personal, a matter or skill or luck or whatever, there's got to be
conflict or it's not a sport. And with Red comes White. Conflict exists only
where there is Distinguishability. According to Blavatsky a specific sequence
of prime concepts in a row will, if iterated previous to a particular kind of
meditation, evoke an appropriate response in the mind and body of the
meditator. If Recognition of Reality, that is, Wakefulness is what one is
aiming for then the appropriate sequence is the personal order of the
Tetractys. The Geocentric order. Hence |

| Venus | Green | Amiability | Must have Involvement Green, must have Empathy Black |
| Mercury | Orange | Learning | Must have Categorization Orange, must have Empathy Black | ||
