# Resource allocation

`kaal:entity:resource-allocation`

**Status.** derived

This node is assembled mechanically from the 3 claims that carry the concept tag `resource-allocation`. 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.

## Every claim under this term

3 claims across 3 works, 2021 to 2026.

**2021**

- [3782191-001](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3782191-001) [mechanism/asserted] -- Centralized organization achieves efficiency through hierarchy: hierarchical structures let centrally organized entities allocate resources with minimal energy loss and identify and remove waste in the system.
  > Because of hierarchical structures, centrally organized entities allocate resources with minimal loss of energy and can identify and remove waste in the system.
  Craig Calcaterra, Wulf A. Kaal, Preface to (2021). SSRN: https://ssrn.com/abstract=3782191

**2024**

- [4900878-002](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/4900878-002) [mechanism/asserted] -- Because qubits hold multiple states simultaneously, quantum computers can perform complex calculations far faster than classical machines, and in a quantum economy this computational power can be used to solve intricate economic models, optimize resource allocation, and improve decision making across sectors.
  > In the context of the quantum economy, this increased computational power can be harnessed to solve intricate economic models, optimize resource allocation, and enhance decision-making processes across various sectors.

**2026**

- [6607458-007](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/6607458-007) [mechanism/argued] -- When alternatives are generated rather than given, opportunity cost changes its referent: it becomes the foregone quality of generative capacity under a different allocation of computational resources, migrating from the good to the infrastructure that generates it.
  > It is the foregone quality of the generative capacity that would have been available if the computational resources had been allocated differently. Opportunity cost migrates from the good to the infrastructure that generates the good.
