> Theory, not fact. Blockspace Value Theory is a living document and an untested thesis. BTP and BYTES are drafts describing things that do not exist.

The [Shared Claim Axiom](https://blockspace.wiki/glossary/shared-claim-axiom/) is a proposed refinement of Blockspace Value Theory: when several tokens claim the same consumed bytes, the kilobytes are shared equally, bytes consumed divided by n, where n counts the distinct assets claiming them. The axiom's own text calls "shared equally" a rule of thumb, not a derived result.
