Nice use of the word ‘infused’. Makes me think one way to explain the current idea of ‘uploaders pay for PUT and farmers are rewarded for GET’ is to say ‘puts are infused with their future gets’. You pay the network for PUT not so much to store it (although that’s part of it) but mainly you pay for PUT so that the network can service the future GET of that data. PUT is like prepaying for the GETs.
I know this doesn’t address your original point but anyways…
