That intent goes beyond what Agora's culture of Platonism seems likely
to accept any time soon. One aspect you mention (contract-backed
currencies) is explicitly rule-supported; the other (e.g. dependent
actions) should be, e.g.
For the purpose of performing a contract-authorized dependent
action whose effects are limited to affecting that contract and/or
entities and attributes defined by it, the contract is treated as
a rule that allows only parties to support or object to that
action.
or, more radically,
A contract is generally treated as a set of one or more rules that
bind only its parties.
