A metaprime example is something that IS an example of itself in a self-referential way. Metaprime examples can be words themselves, or names, or names of things, or things themselves. Metaprime examples can be ideas or objects, abstract or literal, metalanguage or existential. They can be intentional or un. Sometimes they make you laugh, and usually they make you dizzy if you think about them too long!

At a museum today, I saw a photo exhibit of a float "Art is..." from a 1983 parade. The float was a mammoth picture frame, so that the scenes of the parade would be art. Additionally, there were people from the float carrying picture frames so that art could be created at the parade.
While at the museum, I saw someone taking a picture of a picture of a framed picture from the parade!
Thanks, Ducky!
