Memory-Currency Alien Civilizations

Memory-currency alien civilizations imagine societies in which value is not held primarily in coins, commodities, or even abstract code, but in remembered obligations, authenticated histories, experiential records, and socially trusted recall. Drawing on monetary theory, economic anthropology, collective-memory studies, and fiction about traded experiences and controlled remembrance, the framework explores how memory itself might become a medium of exchange.
