An unstated conclusion.

A counterpart to enthymeme: an unstated premise.
My phone's battery is almost dead. I have a meeting in an hour.
The metameme is the unstated conclusion that I should find a charger for my phone.

Sometimes the conclusion is an unpleasant or unflattering conclusion that the speaker doesn't wish to convey directly:
You've lost weight! You look so much better now.
Metameme: you were overweight and unattractive before.

Metamemetic Theory

The study of the higher-order rules and conditions that govern which memes spread and how meme ecosystems evolve. It doesn't look at individual memes, but at the "physics" of the memetic environment: platform algorithms that boost outrage, cognitive biases that make us susceptible to certain ideas, network structures that accelerate virality, and the evolution of anti-memes (ideas designed to suppress other ideas). It’s the ecology and epidemiology of thought itself.
Example: A Metamemetic Theory analysis of a political election wouldn't focus on a specific campaign slogan (a meme). Instead, it would model how the algorithmic amplification of anger on social media creates a fitness landscape where simplistic, divisive memes outperform complex, nuanced ones, systematically shaping the entire informational environment in which the election occurs.
