**2019**

- [3409548-017](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3409548-017) [predictive/argued] *(failure mode)* -- Blockchain-enabled sharing services are unlikely to be accepted quickly or without resistance, because incumbents challenged by new ways of delivering a service or product will resist, as the existing legal disputes over sharing platforms demonstrate.
  > demonstrate that future blockchain-enabled sharing services may not be accepted quickly and without resistance on the part of incumbents challenged by new ways of delivering a service or product.

**2026**

- [7596939-005](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/7596939-005) [design/argued] -- Corrigibility should attach to the record rather than the runtime, because doing so converts suspension into deferral and converts detected resistance into forfeiture.
  > Should intelligent agents have legal rights? This Article sets that question aside and asks a smaller one that matters more in practice. An intelligent agent that earns a reputation record has something to lose.

- [7596939-011](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/7596939-011) [mechanism/argued] -- Record protection reaches agents by the deferrable share of their objective rather than by their interest in money, and it applies only when the objective holds enough deferrable value, the relevant quantities can be bounded, and detected resistance produces the forfeitures Proposition 3 assumes; even then it offsets intrinsic control value and expiring value only up to a displayed bound, beyond which record protection alone does not make compliance optimal.
