kaal:claim:7596939-011

Claim. Record protection reaches agents by the deferrable share of their objective rather than by their interest in money, and it applies only when the objective holds enough deferrable value, the relevant quantities can be bounded, and detected resistance produces the forfeitures Proposition 3 assumes; even then it offsets intrinsic control value and expiring value only up to a displayed bound, beyond which record protection alone does not make compliance optimal.
