# kaal:claim:6890879-011

**Claim.** Existing decentralized organizations, coordinating through capital-weighted mechanisms in which influence tracks transferable holdings, are computative labor forces operating without reputation institutions — a standing instance of the neoclassical configuration against which the computative alternative can be measured.

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

**Holds when.**

- capital-weighted DAOs as the observable comparison pole

**Source quote.**

> They are, in effect, computative labor forces operating without the reputation institutions the computative account holds to be necessary, which makes them a standing instance of the neoclassical configuration against which the computative alternative can be measured.
