# kaal:claim:3441904-033

**Claim.** Rulemaking via code is not itself a cure for static regulation, because coded solutions are subject to natural flaws such as bugs and cannot evolutionarily change protocols, making them another stable and presumptively optimal attempt.

**Type.** failure  **Support.** argued

**Holds when.**

- decentralized rulemaking via code without dynamic elements
