Although opus-agnostic, tokens only collect a return at the close🔒 of the opus into which they were bought. So, for instance, buying into a 1¢ opus to play a 5¢ opus can still pay off, but only after the 1¢ opus closes🔒. Until then, the return from the 5¢ opus will not circulate (circulate=no). (see also quotient normalization, ornamentation, carrot🥕, sticker)
In UUe-speak, the input (ie. fee) would be some tablature iteration (fret), and the output is (measured in) ¢ents. To make a physics analogy, tokens mimic entropy by introducing a clock⏱.
