# kaal:claim:6655138-011

**Claim.** Without a representation of the possibility space distinct from the current mempool of pending instances, no quality metric can be computed, and without quality metrics generation can be rewarded only for quantity and not for quality.

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

**Holds when.**

- architectures whose only action-space representation is pending or executing instances

**Source quote.**

> Without that representation, no quality metric can be computed, and without quality metrics, generation cannot be rewarded for quality, only for quantity.
