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 recasts the multi-agent firm's boundary as a dynamic governance policy over agent-mediated transactions, balancing permissible capability drift against appropriation risk rather than assigning a fixed governance mode once.

Scope: abstract-level transaction-cost and firm-boundary theory

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 and companion computational paper not inspected.
  • The author discloses a commercial interest in multi-agent architecture and development.
  • This record captures the stated theoretical construct and does not assess the formal model.
