# kaal:claim:6607458-027

**Claim.** Because computative agents optimize over generated rather than pre-specified alternatives, the boundary between innovation and ordinary production dissolves and innovation becomes a continuous constitutive property of agent activity rather than an exogenous shock.

**Type.** mechanism  **Support.** argued
