# Computative economics `kaal:entity:computative-economics` **Status.** derived This node is assembled mechanically from the 8 claims that carry the concept tag `computative-economics`. It is a roster of what the corpus says under this term. It is **not** an adjudicated definition: no single statement here has been ruled canonical, and no first-appearance call has been made. Read the claims and judge for yourself. ## Every claim under this term 8 claims across 3 works, 2025 to 2026. **2025** - [5886442-035](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/5886442-035) [mechanism/argued] -- Every major school of economic thought shares one unspoken premise: that the acting subject is a biological human being with finite cognition, finite lifespan, finite information processing capacity and non trivial incentives to engage in strategic deception. > shares one common, unspoken premise: the acting subject is a biological human being with finite cognition, finite lifespan, finite information-processing capacity, and non-trivial incentives to engage in strategic deception.
