- [3125822-036](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3125822-036) [failure/evidenced] *(failure mode)* -- Under certain restrictive assumptions it has been proven that no protocol can guarantee fair exchange with decentralized arbiters, so no design on this architecture can promise absolute certainty of fair machine arbitration.
  > Under certain restrictive assumptions, it has been proven that no protocol can be created which will guarantee fair exchange with decentralized arbiters

- [3125822-037](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3125822-037) [design/argued] -- Because absolute certainty is unavailable, the architecture substitutes a calculable probability of confidence built on verified reputation, which is enough for business to proceed even though no provably certain algorithm exists.
  > the architecture provides a means for developing a platform which can give users confidence that business can proceed through a system of verified reputation. This gives a calculable probability of confidence, even if no provably certain algorithm exists.

- [3125822-038](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3125822-038) [failure/asserted] *(failure mode)* -- There is no absolute certainty that using an expertise tag yields a fair resolution, because malicious experts can always choose an unfair algorithm to distribute the disputed assets.
  > There is no absolute certainty using the expertise tag will result in a fair resolution. Malicious experts can always choose to use an unfair algorithm to distribute the assets.
