Actions feed a circular economy of purpose.

A fan hosts a Folkic watch party for a Gilmore Girls episode. They earn KRNL by building an experience for other fans. Later they spend that earned KRNL to craft a Memento commemorating the event. That Memento is filed alongside Masslore's reference entry for that episode. The memento collectors, who also earned KRNL by attending the event, spend it to upkeep their Memento collections, which sends KRNL patronage back to the host to build more experiences.
