Ownership persists without possession
A rai resting on the ocean floor remains valid currency — value lives in collective memory, not in material contact.
The crossing is the worth
Each disc traveled 450 kilometres of open Pacific by outrigger canoe — the journey is inseparable from the stone's meaning.

Named, numbered, remembered across generations — no transaction is anonymous when the ledger is spoken aloud.
Consensus outlasts any account book
Ownership transfers when witnesses agree — no seal, no signature, no server required.
