The framework of social exchange is mimetic. The generation of images in this space contains an intuition of genres which amount to social contracts between those who produce and a specific public whose function is to specify the artifacts contextual use. Their creations are dependent on these fissures and claims of territory which impose interpretation.

These Phylactery totems are the identifiers of contract transaction. They render it difficult to discover and appreciate original uniqueness.

This experience conditions how we interact with digital media and its value.

Unlike facsimiles which photography and digitization enables, digital creations maintain 1:1 their created 'physicality'.

Without the inequalities produced along the trajectory of replication the distinction between original and reproduction is abolished.

Walter Benjiman's aura nullified. What remains of the numinous awe?

Through digitization there is nothing for us to grasp. Just fleeting ideas. Ideas are processes throughout time, where meaning and appreciation are transient. Dissemination of images expand idea and fixate their social context. We look for physicality to fixate the passage of time as something which declares we have participated.

As we digitize our identities, value is created through the 'activities' we filter and process within the digital realm. Individual posts fix the moment for us, allowing us to extrapolate from time, value.

The NFT is the 'status' of the original, proclaimed upon the minting of it's creator. NFT fixates this decision and social context in time.
