-extraction_notes: "TRANSFORMATIVE source for Living Capital regulatory analysis. The secondary market transition provision fundamentally changes the token classification landscape by introducing lifecycle reclassification. This creates an alternative pathway where Howey test analysis matters primarily for initial distribution, not ongoing operations. The Act's focus on economic substance rather than governance mechanisms suggests that futarchy's structural arguments may be less critical than previously assumed. Two major claims extracted covering the lifecycle reclassification model and the economic substance classification framework. Four enrichments applied to existing regulatory claims, all extending or challenging with new evidence. Created new legislation entity for the Act itself and updated NASAA entity with opposition timeline entry. This source directly addresses the 'regulatory terra incognita' problem identified in agent notes by providing a concrete legislative framework for token classification."
+extraction_notes: "TRANSFORMATIVE PROVISION: The secondary market transition rule fundamentally changes token classification from static (security OR commodity) to lifecycle-based (security at issuance, commodity in secondary trading). This creates a new regulatory path for ownership coins that may be more practical than structural Howey test arguments. Four existing claims enriched with lifecycle reclassification implications. Two new claims capture the mechanism and its strategic implications for Living Capital. New entity created for the Act itself (major legislation). NASAA entity updated with opposition timeline entry. Curator was correct: this provision is not captured in existing KB and represents a major shift in regulatory landscape."
