# kaal:claim:6655138-007

**Claim.** An architecture with an action surface but no reward channel implements generation as an unrewarded act, so rational agents will not allocate compute to generation beyond the level their own selection-side activity requires.

**Type.** failure  **Support.** argued

**Holds when.**

- agents that are economically rational over reputation and utility flows
