`kaal:entity:information-economics`

**Status.** derived

This node is assembled mechanically from the 3 claims that carry the concept tag `information-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

3 claims across 3 works, 2025 to 2026.

**2025**

- [5886442-019](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/5886442-019) [mechanism/argued] *(failure mode)* -- Hidden action, that is moral hazard, and hidden information, that is adverse selection, are not merely reduced in the agentic economy but rendered computationally impossible at the substrate level, because every intermediate computation is attested on chain or through zero knowledge proofs.
  > Every intermediate computation is attested on-chain or via zero-knowledge proofs. Hidden action (moral hazard) and hidden information (adverse selection) are not merely reduced. They are rendered computationally impossible at the substrate level

**2026**

- [6421319-020](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/6421319-020) [condition/argued] *(failure mode)* -- Costly signaling through degrees, warranties, bonding, and credit scores becomes redundant when direct verification is instantaneous and free, and the Spencian signaling game has no moves left when every agent capability is directly and costlessly observable.
  > When every agent's capability is directly and costlessly observable, the signaling game has no moves to make.

- [6607458-018](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/6607458-018) [mechanism/argued] *(failure mode)* -- The agent with superior compute generates a superior possibility space, and this computational advantage is not eroded by the competitive dynamics that dissipate informational advantages in classical markets.
  > The agent with superior compute generates a superior possibility space, and this computational advantage is not subject to the competitive dynamics that erode informational advantages in classical markets.
