**2013**

- [2267560-016](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/2267560-016) [mechanism/argued] -- Because feedback effects increase the availability of relevant, decentralized, and timely information, rulemakers can predict unforeseen contingencies and adjust their actions ex-ante to avoid complex reforms and unwanted consequences.
  > Because the feedback effects in dynamic regulation allow rulemakers to increase the availability of relevant, decentralized, and timely information for rulemaking, rulemakers can predict unforeseen contingencies and adjust their actions ex-ante to avoid complex reforms.

- [2267560-044](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/2267560-044) [failure/argued] *(failure mode)* -- Parties in the incomplete contract model cannot adapt to unforeseen contingencies because they cannot specify ex-ante how those contingencies will be met, and transactions may be foregone or become too expensive if participants cannot rely on efficient and equitable adaptation.
  > At the same time, parties in the incomplete contract model cannot adapt to unforeseen contingencies because they cannot specify ex-ante how those contingencies will be met (Kreps 1990, 93).

**2016**

- [2831040-034](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/2831040-034) [mechanism/argued] -- Dynamic regulatory tools lower unforeseen contingencies in innovation related rulemaking because their feedback effects supply relevant, timely, decentralized, and institution specific information ex ante, which also helps maintain certainty in the rulemaking process.
  > By increasing the availability of information ex-ante, dynamic regulatory tools help lower unforeseen contingencies in the rulemaking process pertaining to innovation. Improved information for rulemaking also helps maintaining certainty in the rulemaking process.

- [2831040-038](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/2831040-038) [design/argued] -- Dynamic regulation optimizes anticipatory governance for innovation by emphasizing adaptation to and anticipation of the unforeseen contingencies associated with innovation.
  > Dynamic regulation can help optimize anticipatory governance for innovation by emphasizing the adaptation to and anticipation of unforeseen contingencies associated with innovation.
