The decline in money wages, also, would have to drop from
the sky since the only reason they would decline is because
of the assumption of a given real wage.

 So, do you conclude that, all other things equal, the effect of
productivity increases in this case will be real wages rising at the rate
of productivity and, accordingly, a constant rate of surplus value?
