trying to describe hyperinflation through the galaxybrain take of "money is a paper representation of people's promises to each other". What happens to the promises when inflation happens? One eg is that too much money has been printed, so the promises are... "stretched"...?

that can also kinda be framed as promises, right? I'm forcing it yea but just for fun– "we the representatives of the people of Poopmojistan promise keep the
flag flying high and mighty. Would you like to buy some bonds?" -
It creates room for complexities like QE that allow distortion that breaks the metaphor too much. Like in the US inflation is low but stocks are booming because QE allows the “inflation” to be focused like a laser where they profit from it.
