from peter jones
in response to david's message i would say that i'm not sure i understand
the question! or maybe, for me, too many questions are begged.
'internalization' is not tokenization, eg the replacement of gold by paper
money. on the more general mechanism of internalization, i don't know!

mostly directed to peter jones, but answerable by any:
What is the mechanism or process by which people in a
system internalize (and therefore tokenize) relations
and humans?
