Elements

Elements are the atomic building units of objects.

Several types of elements exist:

• Material: Immutable digital content such as images, audio files, or JSON data. Materials are stored on the Previous chain and referenced on universe chains via their hash.

• Information: A versatile data element that holds arbitrary information tied to an object, enabling dynamic behaviors and interactions within the protocol.

• Value: Represents fungible tokens on a universe chain. Values can be linked to predefined materials, allowing for programmability within sets and kinds.

• Artifact: Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) on a universe chain. Artifacts are linked to materials and define ownership, properties, and behavior within the protocol.

Values and Artifacts are often collectively referred to as Token Elements.
