What this rule means
CAIN-42 must always satisfy: economic value does not create authority. It is one of 303 invariants checked for CAIN-42 Evolution 32 -- Governed Autonomy Learning Fabric. An invariant is a rule the system may never break, whatever an agent or attacker does; the test suite tries to break it across many scenarios and records the result.
