Recorded claims

Each claim states what the inspected source says, at the recorded location—bounded by its scope and graded by its confidence. Nothing here is a synthesis across works.

The abstract defines an Atomic Agent Company as a machine-verifiable single-agent entity with bounded capital, liability, and lifecycle, and places compositions of such entities between market exchange and monolithic hierarchy.

Boundaries

Limitations & independence

Recorded at coding time, carried with the work forever. A claim without its limits is not evidence.

Recorded limitations

  • Abstract-level evidence only; full text not inspected.
  • The abstract reports model and simulation results without sufficient design detail or denominators for independent assessment; this record is limited to the stated construct and organizational positioning.

Source independence
