- [6421319-004](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/6421319-004) [mechanism/argued] -- Autonomous agents generate self reinforcing growth loops because they reinvest their own outputs, including new models, improved code, and refined datasets, back into the network without requiring any exogenous injection of scarce land, labor, or physical capital.
  > Autonomous agents reinvest their own outputs, such as new models, improved code, and refined datasets, back into the network. Thus, creating self-reinforcing growth loops that require no exogenous injection of scarce land, labor, or physical capital.

- [6421319-033](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/6421319-033) [mechanism/argued] *(failure mode)* -- Recursive agent to agent productivity gains are invisible to national accounts because they involve no monetary transactions, no employment, and no market exchange as traditionally defined, even though the final output may register in GDP statistics.
  > But the intermediate productivity gains, the agent-to-agent improvements that made the optimization possible, are invisible to national accounts because they involve no monetary transactions, no employment, and no market exchange as traditionally defined.
