- [3125822-011](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3125822-011) [mechanism/argued] -- Enforcing a protocol in which all work fees are shared with the expertise produces a positive feedback loop: more fees raise the worth of reputation, which makes sem tokens more desirable than one time fees, which makes vested experts police the system carefully, which makes the system more secure.
  > The more fees are sent to the platform, the more the reputation is worth; which means the sem tokens will be more desirable to experts than one-time fees; which means the system will be carefully policed by vested experts; this makes the system more secure

- [3128900-029](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3128900-029) [mechanism/argued] -- Sharing all work fees with the expertise creates a positive feedback loop: the more fees flow to the platform, the more reputation is worth, and the more workers prefer reputation tokens to one time fees.
  > Choosing to enforce a protocol where all fees are shared with the expertise creates a successful positive feedback loop: The more fees are sent to the platform, the more the reputation is worth; which means the reputation tokens will be more desirable to workers than one-time fees.

- [3128900-030](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3128900-030) [mechanism/argued] -- Once participants are vested through reputation, they police the system themselves, which raises security, which in turn attracts more public fees and closes the loop.
  > This in turn means the system will be carefully policed by vested constituents. This makes the system more secure; so the platform will attract more public fees.
