The excerpt from 'Nanopayments and the $0.000001 floor' explicitly states nanopayments reach the $0.000001 floor by signing off-chain authorizations and settling them in batches, and that settling many micro-authorizations together avoids paying gas per transaction. This directly supports the claims about aggregation, necessity of batching for viability, and amortization of costs.
All sub-claims already well-covered (sufficiency passed with 0 gaps) — skipping re-evaluation to save latency.

The article “Nanopayments and the $0.000001 floor” reveals that batching is the core mechanism that makes nanopayments viable: instead of paying gas per transaction, many off-chain micro-authorizations are settled together in batches, aggregating multiple nanopayments and reducing per-payment overhead . This is what pushes the minimum economical payment down to about $0.000001 . Without batching, paying gas per transaction would make a fraction of a cent per citation impractical . In short, batching amortizes the per-transaction gas cost across many nanopayments, which is what allows the floor to be set so low .
