The laws of conventional economic theory, say that as supply increases, value (or demand) decreases, or vice versa. This is known in different ways under various names: supply & demand curve, marginal cost theory, the law of diminishing returns. If I have [y] units of a good and sell them for $[z] amount of dollars each, and then as I increase the supply by [y+1], [y+2], [y+...n],etc., then the amount of dollars $[z] per unit of that good will decrease, along a supply-demand curve.

Bitcoin inscriptions can present a counterexample to this, in the following way: the rule is that a "parent" inscription can be re-inscribed or copied as a "child" inscription, if and only if, the buyer pays more for the child inscription than was paid for the prior child inscription. So for each copy of the original inscription the price must be higher than for the previous. For example, if this inscription is a "parent" that I pay $[z] amount of sats to inscribe, then a subsequent reader can pay $[z+x] amount of sats to inscribe a subsequent "child" version of this. Then there is [1+d] supply of the inscriptions, where [d] is the number of subsequent "children" of the original.

And so the supply of inscriptions [1+d] necessarily increases together with the value of the inscription $[z+x+....n].

Only very specific kinds of economic goods could demonstrate this condition, where supply increases with value. Because this would prove a counterexample to marginal cost. And that would show behavior that breaks the most basic laws of economics, supply vs. demand. For the laws of economics to be broken in this way, an economic good would have to prove it has the greatest possible value proposition: it would be an economic good whose value is inherently worth more than the money paid for it.

This is a kind of economics that accurately reflects the economy of digital knowledge. Since the value of digital knowledge ought to increase, the more of it there is. We therefore need a non-algorithmic sorting mechanism to determine what knowledge is true and what is not. The market is such a sorting mechanism, but if we apply the laws of supply and demand to knowledge or digital information, they break down. Therefore we need to introduce this principle stated above, that supply can increase with value. And this can be implemented through parent-child ordinal inscriptions.
