**2013**

- [2267560-041](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/2267560-041) [condition/argued] -- Contracting parties need to postpone the specification of obligations only if the feedback process in the dynamic framework did not generate sufficient information; where sufficient information is available, contractual incompleteness can be lowered.
  > Contracting parties in the incomplete contract model only postpone the specification of obligations if the feedback process in the dynamic framework did not generate sufficient information.

- [2267560-042](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/2267560-042) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- Assessing the sufficiency of information by rulemakers alone can lead to suboptimal results because path dependencies may lead decision-makers to believe they control sufficient information for rulemaking when in fact they do not.
  > The sufficiency of information in this model, if assessed by rulemakers alone, could lead to suboptimal results. Path dependencies may lead decision-makers to believe they control sufficient information for rulemaking when they in fact do not.

- [2267560-047](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/2267560-047) [condition/argued] -- The broad scope for contractual incompleteness and delayed decision-making stipulated by the incomplete contract model are necessary only if the feedback effect did not produce sufficient information for rulemaking.
  > The broad scope for contractual incompleteness and delayed decision- making as stipulated by the incomplete contract model are necessary only if the feedback effect did not produce sufficient information for rulemaking.

**2014**

- [kaal-2014-dynamicregulationviagove-007](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/kaal-2014-dynamicregulationviagove-007) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- A core tenet of incomplete contract theory, that rulemakers should act only when sufficient information becomes available, is often politically, economically, and practically undesirable or impossible.
  > a core tenet of incomplete contract theory – rulemakers should act when sufficient information becomes available – is often political- ly, economically, and practically undesirable or impossible

- [kaal-2014-dynamicregulationviagove-010](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/kaal-2014-dynamicregulationviagove-010) [failure/asserted] *(failure mode)* -- In the current model of stable rulemaking, path dependencies lead rulemakers to act on a boundedly rational assumption that they already control sufficient information for rulemaking.
  > In the current model of stable rulemaking, path dependencies may lead rulemakers to act based on a bound- edly rational assumption of control over sufficient information for rulemak- ing.
