the square

The square of the sum is not the sum of the squares.

The desk is this square, shared. Twelve rings, each three pixels thick. Everyone looking at it sees the same picture, because the pool is the brush.

Σ a²

what you can point at

A seat holds a number, a. Square it and that piece is yours. Add every seat’s square and you still do not have the board.

2 Σ ab

the part nobody owns

The board is the square of everyone together. The gap between that and the sum of the squares only exists because two seats share a room. That gap is the pool.

(Σa)² = Σa² + 2Σab

ordinary buy

black

Heats one pixel in the open ring. The pool paid $SQPOWER out.

large buy

red

Above the top fifth of buys in the window, the whole ring closes. That wallet takes the seat. The number is read from the tape, not chosen.

sell

grey

Cools the last hot pixel. The cell stays. A sell never erases the square.

twelve

an epoch

Twelve rings and the square is full. It holds. The next print opens a blank one.

ping · spark

glow

They touch the square contract. They do not paint. 0.0001 ETH on a spark is glow, not yield.

buy

GME$SQPOWER

The pool takes GME and pays the token out. On the square that is a black pixel, or a red ring if the buy is large.

sell

$SQPOWERGME

The token goes back into the pool and GME comes out. On the square that only cools a pixel.
