## Definitions

### `com.cultureblocs.bead`

**Type**: `record`

An atomic cultural memory: a visit, a dwell, an encounter, a screening. Minted on-device or by hand; annotated later.

**Key**: `tid`

| Property | Type | Required | Description |
|----------|------|----------|-------------|
| `geo` | `ref` → `com.cultureblocs.defs#geo` | No |  |
| `kind` | `string` | Yes | What kind of cultural moment: bloc is the neutral default (a marked moment); read/listen/watch cover at-home culture; visit/dwell/screening/performance cover being out; encounter is a mutual mint. |
| `note` | `string` | No |  |
| `prev` | `ref` → `com.cultureblocs.defs#strongRef` | No | Previous bead in the day's chain, if any. |
| `tags` | `array` | No | Freeform tags: the CultureBloc mask worn at mint time, ad-hoc event tags (emfcamp26), etc. |
| `links` | `array` | No | Event page, venue page, etc. |
| `media` | `array` | No |  |
| `images` | `array` | No | Published images as imageRefs. Tier 0 records use `media` (local refs); the promoter uploads the bytes and maps alt + aspectRatio across at publish time. |
| `subject` | `union` | No | What the bead is about: a work, a place, or a published record (event, exhibition). |
| `createdAt` | `string` (datetime) | Yes |  |
| `provenance` | `ref` → `com.cultureblocs.defs#provenance` | No |  |
