# kaal:claim:3441904-026

**Claim.** The complex systems that decentralized infrastructure technology will reform are interdependent, so development of the infrastructure elements alone is not enough: structural and cultural changes in legacy systems must be worked through before the technology can be applied.

**Type.** condition  **Support.** argued

**Holds when.**

- interdependent complex legacy systems

**Source quote.**

> Even if the decentralized infrastructure elements are being developed in any of the major areas of use cases for blockchain technology, complex discussions around structural and cultural changes in legacy systems are needed before the technology can be applied.
