You are building an SQL in disguise.

First, you need to encode "memes" and relations between them at scale. This is not a language problem, it is data handling problem.

Second, at some point of time you will need to query memes and relations between them, again, at scale. While expression of queries is a language problem, an implementation will heavily use what SQL engines does use.

And you need to look at Cyc: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyc

It does what you are toing do for 40 (forty) years now.

The PHP implementation works by converting it to SQL, so I'm sure they're aware.
