Knowledge Avatars – what are they?

A Knowledge Avatar™ is a collection of knowledge memes, which is the
smallest complete unit of knowledge. Think of a knowledge meme as a
concept. For example, you might have a knowledge meme for the color
red. The concept 'red' can be described as a knowledge meme.

Knowledge memes can be at different levels of detail. This is
referred to as granularity. Any particular knowledge meme can have
either a coarse grain (thus encompassing many other knowledge memes)
or a very fine grain (it cannot be broken down much
further). Almost any knowledge meme can be broken down into smaller
knowledge memes.

A Knowledge Avatar is a connected set of knowledge memes that
specifies the relationship between these knowledge memes.
