Abstract
A two-currency reciprocity platform integrates peer-to-peer money gifts with non-transferable, expiring pledges of personal time, under one user identity, one bounded AI recommendation agent and one shared participation indicator. An earlier posting disclosed that platform. This revision adds a section on a junction of the two currencies: a shop publishes an unpriced invitation of a place and an hour, offered to two people who already know each other and accepted by the one receiving the gift of time. Three properties are disclosed. The invitation is not a gift code: nobody buys it and it carries no purchase price, so conversion to shop credit is undefined by its type. The time is not priced by the money: no minimum spend or purchase requirement, no use as a discount instrument, no metering of the hour, and no ordering or drawing of invitations by spend. The invitation has no price of its own: no per-publish fee, featured placement or per-match fee. The revision also updates the participation indicator's current form: money or time reaches it only through the thank that carries it, so neither enters as a quantity. Only the composition is claimed. A pre-registered census of 4 November 2026, across the English-language web, non-commercial practice and keyword patent search, found most parts public and names the nearest neighbor; its null on the whole composition is weak evidence, not a finding of novelty. The design is unbuilt and unscheduled, so the section is a framing, not evidence that the junction works.
