3 claims across 3 works, 2025 to 2026.

**2025**

- [5886442-014](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/5886442-014) [mechanism/argued] -- Contesting the continuity view, the author argues that AI2AI is not a case of technological progress shifting the production possibility frontier outward as steam, electricity and the internet did, because those earlier shifts expanded the feasible set while preserving scarcity as the defining condition.
  > This is not simply a case of technological progress shifting the production-possibility frontier outward, as occurred with steam, electricity, or the internet. Those earlier shifts expanded the feasible set while preserving scarcity as the defining condition.

**2026**

- [6421319-007](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/6421319-007) [mechanism/argued] -- Price collapse under AI abundance is structurally different from cyclical deflation: conventional deflation reflects demand contraction or supply shocks inside scarcity frameworks, whereas abundance driven price implosion reflects production possibility frontiers shifting toward infinity.
  > Conventional deflation reflects demand contraction or supply shocks within scarcity frameworks. The price "implosion" that AI-driven production generates reflects production possibility frontiers shifting toward infinity.

- [6607458-014](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/6607458-014) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- The First Welfare Theorem requires a fixed production possibility frontier, so when the frontier is endogenous to generative activity Pareto optimality becomes path-dependent and the theorem's existence proof fails in the computative domain.
  > The First Welfare Theorem requires a fixed production possibility frontier. When the frontier is endogenous to generative activity, Pareto optimality becomes path-dependent, and the theorem's existence proof fails.
