`kaal:entity:post-scarcity`

**Status.** derived

This node is assembled mechanically from the 4 claims that carry the concept tag `post-scarcity`. 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.

- [5886442-001](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/5886442-001) [mechanism/argued] -- AI-to-AI systems instantiate continuous, recursive Walrasian equilibria and at the same time eliminate the five foundational constraints that have defined economic science for over a century.
  > AI2AI systems instantiate continuous, recursive Walrasian equilibria while simultaneously eliminating the five foundational constraints that have defined economic science for over a century.

- [5886442-011](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/5886442-011) [mechanism/argued] -- Exponential improvement in compute efficiency combined with recursive self improvement of AI systems drives the marginal cost of additional intelligence and digital goods toward zero.

- [5886442-012](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/5886442-012) [mechanism/argued] -- Value in the AI-to-AI economy compounds endogenously because agents reinvest their own outputs, that is new models, improved code and refined datasets, back into the network, creating self reinforcing growth loops that require no exogenous injection of scarce land, labor or physical capital.
  > More radically, value in the AI2AI economy compounds endogenously: agents reinvest their own outputs (new models, improved code, refined datasets) back into the network, creating self-reinforcing growth loops that require no exogenous injection of scarce land, labor, or physical capital

**2026**

- [6607458-037](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/6607458-037) [definitional/argued] -- Computative Economics does not assert abundance simpliciter: it asserts abundance in the realization-level supply of generative outputs while retaining scarcity in computational capacity, domain expertise, and governance capacity, and it applies only to specific domains.
  > It does not assert abundance simpliciter. It asserts abundance in the realization-level supply of generative outputs while retaining scarcity in computational capacity, domain expertise, and governance capacity.
