# kaal:claim:3782203-001

**Claim.** Any set process or set of rules that can ever be designed will ultimately fail to secure a network for all time, so no static rule set can serve as the permanent foundation of a DAO.

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

**Holds when.**

- decentralized networks
- open global membership
- anonymous participation

**Source quote.**

> A core precept for the creation of DAOs is the recognition that any set process or set of rules that can ever be designed will ultimately fail to secure a network for all time.
