Just trying to flesh out your concept of "tokenization" a bit more.
If I understand correctly you are saying that to tokenize is to reduce or distill a large concept to something small and easily manipulated, transported or"traded/exchanged.
Like the idea of tokenizing a large object into gold or silver, or tokenizing gold and silver into a dollar bill or further, "tokenizing" a dollar bill into zeros and ones in the form of bitcoin.
So I think that you said you could tokenize most anything. So, how would one tokenize:
A poem
A painting
A bag of concrete
A glass of beer?
Enquireing minds
Quoting: Hall of Mirrors Excellent points raised, here. A token is a symbol. A symbol can exist beyond the substrate of its issuance but is only a thought form in the end. Just as the token is not the poem, painting or glass of beer, the FRN is not the dollar, the Deed Trust is not the land and the map is not the territory. A token can describe the taste of the beer but it cannot communicate the "experience" of enjoying the beer. All symbols are cryptographic in nature, in that they must be encoded by the author and decoded by the receiver using a common "lexicon" or understanding, in order for the information to be transmitted. Without a common lexicon, or unifying principle of authorship, entropy prevails and the information contained in the symbol is dissipated. The principal of authorship is the essence of the distinction between order and chaos.
