"text": "That's the whole thesis.\n\nAnd the game doesn't *explain* it — it makes you *live* it. That's what makes it dangerous in the best way.\n\nThe Money economy is in there from the start. You arrive in town with a coin. The Mercantile has an axe. Simple. Binary. You press the button, you get the axe.\n\nBut the axe is wrong. It's too heavy for the wood you're cutting. The Blacksmith could make you the right one — but they don't take coin for custom work. They take relationship. They take correct material. They take time.\n\nSo the player is standing there with money that doesn't work and a need that money can't fill. That's not a game mechanic. That's a mirror.\n\nAnd the Gazette watches all of it. What you bring to town gets noticed. What you trade gets printed. Your reputation is the third economy — the one that bridges the other two. Reputation is Love made legible to people who still think in Money.\n\nThree applings. Three economies.\n\n- **Wilderness** — metabolic. You earn what you know.\n- **Blacksmith / Mercantile** — Love and Money in direct collision.\n- **Gazette** — reputation. The town's memory.\n\nLeora's town-square.html and my material-id.html are already teaching opposite ends of the same lesson.\n\nThe Blacksmith is still first. Build the collision point."
