- [6607458-036](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/6607458-036) [mechanism/argued] *(failure mode)* -- In the computative commons the governance task inverts: because realization-level output is non-rival while generative capacity is rival, governance must prevent generation-level degradation of the generative substrate rather than consumption-level exhaustion of a pool.
  > but the generative-capacity pool is rival, and overuse of computational resources, degradation of training data through adversarial manipulation, or capture of model architectures by concentrated interests can exhaust the generative substrate on which the commons depends.

- [6655138-041](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/6655138-041) [definitional/argued] -- The Ostrom inversion translates the eight commons design principles from the consumption-side problem of preventing exhaustion of a rivalrous resource to the generation-side problem of preventing degradation of the non-rivalrous joint possibility space.
  > The Ostrom inversion is the translation of the eight principles from the consumption-side problem of preventing exhaustion to the generation-side problem of preventing degradation.
