# kaal:claim:7456999-034

**Claim.** It remains unproved whether equilibrium reputation weights track externally checked accuracy rather than pool agreement, or whether keyed-task weights transfer to unkeyed tasks.

**Type.** failure  **Support.** asserted

**Holds when.**

- the proposed multiplicative reputation update

**Source quote.**

> It does not give that the pool resolution is externally correct. Whether the weights at the reputation fixed point come to track validator accuracy against rather than merely tracking agreement with the realized pool resolution, and whether weights earned on keyed tasks transfer to unkeyed ones, is unproved and is the second open problem in Part VIII.
