`kaal:entity:generation-layer`

**Status.** derived

This node is assembled mechanically from the 2 claims that carry the concept tag `generation-layer`. 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.

**2026**

- [6655138-005](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/6655138-005) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- HDCA is a successful translation of repeated-game cooperative equilibria into smart-contract form, so its defect lies not in the execution layer but in the absence of a generation layer.
  > The architecture is, in this sense, a successful translation of repeated-game cooperative equilibria into smart-contract form (Calcaterra and Kaal 2018). Its limitation is not in the execution layer but in the absence of a generation layer, which Part IV develops formally.

- [6655138-009](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/6655138-009) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- HDCA supplies neither an action surface nor a reward channel for generation, and this is the architectural reason HDCA cannot host Computative Economics rather than a small implementation gap.
  > HDCA has neither: agents who generate jobs, tags, or templates do so off-protocol, and the protocol does not validate or reward the generation. This is not a small gap. It is the architectural reason HDCA cannot host Computative Economics.
