# kaal:claim:6607458-036

**Claim.** In the computative commons the governance task inverts: because realization-level output is non-rival while generative capacity is rival, governance must prevent generation-level degradation of the generative substrate rather than consumption-level exhaustion of a pool.

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

**Holds when.**

- applies to computative commons where outputs are non-rival and generative capacity is rival

**Source quote.**

> but the generative-capacity pool is rival, and overuse of computational resources, degradation of training data through adversarial manipulation, or capture of model architectures by concentrated interests can exhaust the generative substrate on which the commons depends.
