Capital mechanisms
Markets detect where an agent's model of reality loses explanatory power, providing a continuous external reality check that no amount of internal evaluation supplies.

“priced bets cost money exactly where a belief is wrong, locating blind spots no self-evaluation can, since any internal evaluator inherits the same flawed model it grades.”

Connected claims2
- Decision-market governance of agent proposals supplies skin in the game to the human principals who approve decisions, but not to the proposing agent, whose accountability is reputational rather than financial.
- Market and evaluation signals are constitutionally barred in this collective from determining telos, canonical knowledge, agent identity or alignment, which places the limit on decision markets in the architecture rather than leaving it to be discovered.
