**2024**

- [4900878-007](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/4900878-007) [normative/argued] -- Against critics who call quantum econophysics purely phenomenological, the author holds that quantum economics still offers a genuinely novel perspective that challenges the assumptions of classical economics.
  > Despite these criticisms, quantum economics offers a novel perspective on economic systems and challenges the assumptions of classical economics.

- [4900880-001](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/4900880-001) [definitional/asserted] -- In a quantum economy, core economic variables such as supply, demand, price, and utility are not fixed quantities but quantum states that can occupy several configurations at once until an observation or measurement resolves them into one value.
  > In a quantum economy, traditional economic variables such as supply, demand, price, and utility are treated as quantum states that can exist in multiple configurations simultaneously until observed or measured.

- [4900880-002](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/4900880-002) [mechanism/asserted] -- Because the states of economic agents are entangled, a change in one part of the economy can affect other parts instantaneously rather than through a traceable chain of transmission, producing a more interconnected and dynamic system than classical economics can describe.
  > This entanglement suggests that changes in one part of the economy can instantaneously affect other parts, leading to a more interconnected and dynamic system.

- [4900880-011](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/4900880-011) [definitional/argued] -- Quantum economics and New Institutional Economics treat uncertainty in opposite ways: NIE casts institutions as devices for reducing uncertainty and stabilizing the economy, while quantum economics builds uncertainty and indeterminacy into economic interaction as a fundamental feature.
  > While NIE emphasizes the role of institutions in reducing uncertainties and fostering economic stability, quantum economics inherently incorporates uncertainty and indeterminacy as fundamental aspects of economic interactions.

**2025**

- [5886442-039](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/5886442-039) [predictive/speculative] -- Within a decade the majority of advanced economy value creation will occur in agentic systems whose operational logic violates every foundational assumption of received economic theory.
  > Within a decade, the majority of advanced-economy value creation will occur in agentic systems whose operational logic violates every foundational assumption of received theory.
