The island measures one thing: held time. Real people, staying.
Every token the island measures adds to your heat. The longer it stays, the warmer it reads.
Buying big today proves nothing by tomorrow. A fresh bag reads near zero and warms by staying.
No purchase warms you overnight. Nothing else is the number.
Heat opens doors on the island.
II · THE INSTRUMENT
The ruler itself
One curve, read per token, summed across everything you hold. The ruler cannot be argued with.
heat = 100 · ( 1 − e−60 · TWAB / supply )

TWAB is your time-weighted average balance: your share of a token's supply, averaged over your whole held time. Each measured token reads zero to one hundred degrees. Your island heat is the sum, and the tier words bind the sum. Price never enters the number, and trading speed cannot move it.

Held time cannot be faked.
III · THE ARITHMETIC
Honest examples
Steady holdings, plain numbers. Toward, never instantly: the average is taken over your whole held time, so every figure below is earned in days of staying, not in a single trade.
A first emberHold 0.5% of a measured token's supply, steadily, and that token's heat climbs toward 26°.
The Observer lineAbout 0.66%, held steadily, carries a single token past 30°: Observer. The island starts answering to your address.
The Resident line1% in each of two measured tokens, held steadily, sums past 90°: Resident, with room. Two warm bags beat one hot day.
One deep bagOr the single-token road: about 2.75% of one supply, held steadily, reads 80° on its own.
The rampBuy 1% today and the door reads near zero tonight. Hold, and the number climbs as held days stack, settling toward 45° the longer it stays. Time is the only accelerant.
Selling an element lets its warmth go; a fresh buy starts a fresh clock. The instrument keeps no grudge and grants no shortcuts.
Every token the island measures warms its holder. The registry is the truth, and it speaks for itself:
The registry speaks at the door.
Jungle Bay Apes anchor the scale. And the family collections beside them: Junglets · Seeds from the Memetic Garden · Bojungles · Rare Towelie Cards · Jungle Bay Gold Cards · The Memes x mfers artists, joining the measured set. Every one of them warms further the longer it stays.
New tokens and collections join as their scans go true; the island names no reading before the instrument takes it.
V · THE PATH
Growing your heat
I
Arrive. The door answers any address.
Give the island an address and it answers with what you held: your degrees, your tier word, your held days. Your time here already counts.
II
Settle in.
Pick the communities you believe in from the measured set, and hold. Small and steady beats big and brief. Breadth warms too: several tokens, each read on its own curve, all summing to your name.
III
Stay.
The number follows held time and nothing else. Check the door as the seasons pass and watch it climb. The island remembers everything you stayed for.
No token buys its way in. A community lives its way in.
VI · RESIDENT AND UP
Bringing your own project
At 80° the island calls you Resident. Residents carry weight, and weight opens the builder's doors.
Your standingThe counts that certify a community are people, and at Resident you are one of them. A hundred warm hands, twenty five of them Resident or better: that is how a bungalow raises. Your own heat is never wasted; it is what certifies the village.
Bring a token that livesA token arriving from outside anchors at the Harbor: half a year old before the harbor opens, then a full season of measurement before any judgment. Bring your community to the island's account and the harbor answers. Settle together, never one by one.
Born hereA maker at Resident or better can grow a new token through the memetics.finance gate when it opens: the gate reads the maker's wallet at create, and locks and plates publish at birth. Born here, measured from birth. Arrivals prove half a year. Births don't.
The land itselfSurveyed ground on the island holds lots where qualifying heat builds. Certification is kept, not won: cold quarters sunset with notice, exits are always free, and a community that warms again re-enters at Harbor.
