The Sparks Dynamo
An operable model of Circo Sparks: every interaction becomes one kind of event, every event splits into a fan value and a creator value, and the day rolls up into a summary for the post.

Views, likes, comments, shares and recircos arrive through their own chutes, each a different kind of signal.

Every interaction is reshaped into the same event model, so a view and a share can be compared and summed.

Each event carries two values: one for the fan who acted, one for the creator who earned it. Weights here are simulation rules.
The day's events roll up into one summary for the post: total sparks, a breakdown by type, unique users and engagement rate.
A clockwork dynamo. Each kind of interaction has its own hopper and chute, and each has its own token shape: views are discs, likes cubes, comments pegs, shares stacked discs, recircos rings. They meet in the unification ring, where every interaction becomes the same event model, so a view and a share can finally be compared and summed.
From the ring, two gear trains carry each event's value in two directions: to the fan who acted, at the back, and to the creator who earned it, at the front. A tally printer counts the day's events and prints its summary: total sparks, the breakdown by type, unique users and engagement rate.
The event types, the fan and creator split and the daily rollup follow Circo Sparks. The weights and the stream of events are simulation rules for the exhibit.
