- [6607458-007](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/6607458-007) [mechanism/argued] -- When alternatives are generated rather than given, opportunity cost changes its referent: it becomes the foregone quality of generative capacity under a different allocation of computational resources, migrating from the good to the infrastructure that generates it.
  > It is the foregone quality of the generative capacity that would have been available if the computational resources had been allocated differently. Opportunity cost migrates from the good to the infrastructure that generates the good.

- [6607458-026](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/6607458-026) [predictive/argued] -- Because supply of any specific realization is unbounded while the quality of the generative distribution is bounded, markets for computative outputs will organize around access to generative capacity, pricing will be access-based rather than per-unit, and antitrust analysis should attach to generative capacity rather than downstream outputs.
  > This implies that markets for computative outputs will organize around access to generative capacity rather than around the exchange of specific outputs, that pricing will be access-based rather than per-unit, and that competition and antitrust analysis should attach to generative capacity
