Right now we create claims based on contributions and calculated using value equation rules. These are needed to run a distribution. The claims are related to the contribution events and the distribution events through a claim-event entity. From walk discussion: a cleaner model could be to create an agreed upon credit or kind of internal currency instead. So the "payment" for contributions would be credits. When a distribution is run, it would run against credits, and decrement those. This puts this part of the model squarely in sync with the core of the model, instead of an add-on. Also makes it more aligned with mutual credit systems. Details TBD...
