5 claims across 4 works, 2024 to 2026.

**2024**

- [4900878-019](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/4900878-019) [normative/argued] -- Quantum economics models must be subjected to empirical testing and to rigorous head to head comparison with classical models across different economic contexts and datasets before their validity and generalizability can be established.
  > Another important implication of the debates surrounding quantum economics is the need for more empirical testing and validation of quantum economics models.

- [4900878-028](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/4900878-028) [design/argued] -- Programmable tokens and smart contracts give quantum economics an experimental testbed, so contested phenomena such as preference reversal can be modeled with quantum decision theory and then empirically validated and refined rather than argued in the abstract.
  > Tokenomics provides a practical framework for implementing and testing these models through programmable tokens and smart contracts, allowing for empirical validation and refinement of quantum economic theories.

**2025**

- [5225296-040](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/5225296-040) [normative/asserted] -- Testnet deployment must evaluate weighted voting and microsecond-scale updates against Sybil attacks, collusion, and reputation gaming across adversarial scenarios of ten, thirty-three, and fifty percent malicious participation before SPoS's theoretical strengths can be treated as practical resilience.
  > Testnet deployments should evaluate both weighted voting and microsecond-scale updates against Sybil attacks, collusion, and reputation gaming under adversarial scenarios (e.g., 10%, 33%, 50% malicious participation), using real-time data and high-performance testbeds

- [5454054-038](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/5454054-038) [failure/asserted] *(failure mode)* -- The retention uplifts claimed for LER remain unvalidated: empirical pilots are needed to confirm them and to refine the smart contract designs, particularly for AI-personalized airdrops.
  > Empirical pilots are needed to validate retention uplifts and refine smart contract designs.

**2026**

- [6244278-033](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/6244278-033) [predictive/evidenced] -- Reputation-weighted micro-task systems can potentially reduce human task redundancy from ten-to-fifteen-fold to five-fold or below through consistent, high-reputation agent outputs, accelerating production of superior datasets in sectors such as healthcare and finance.
  > By late 2025, such systems can potentially reduce human task redundancy from ten-to-fifteen-fold to five-fold or below through consistent, high-reputation agent outputs.
