  Since you keep setting this back to a question, I'm just going to say: No, they are not physical things.  You cannot pull them out, show them off, interact with them (aside from custom-built emotes) or anything- the only place where they are actually "active" is when on a stage (where they "come to life").  A gestalt isn't really physical either, it's more of a combination of things that give you some protection against ego loss when influencing.
  
  They're basically Lusternia's equivalent of real-world e-goods; objects that exist only as little bits of 1's and 0's but can still be transferred.  Real Life Player:Lusternian Curios::Lusternian Character:Ikons

  Ikons are just images of things. They aren't physical objects, just a sort of picture. Gestalts are just the mental place you store your in-use ikon images.
  
  This is how I think of ikons:
