# kaal:claim:6244278-039

**Claim.** The evolutionary arc from consequence to care is not guaranteed: it depends on correct institutional design at each phase, including appropriate slashing parameters, robust Sybil resistance, calibrated reputation portability, and maintained human oversight.

**Type.** condition  **Support.** argued

**Holds when.**

- requires empirical validation through longitudinal observation of agent behavior under deepening stake
