Individual game pieces may be associated with real-world commodities or cryptocurrency, with value determined externally.

Summary

The boundary is consistent across the record

Across all six areas the reviewed material establishes the game, the analysis and the broadcast, but not the economic determination that follows them. That boundary is the subject matter of the Miner's Gambit claim set, and it is the same boundary in every domain examined in this review.
