# kaal:claim:6244278-008

**Claim.** Rather than trying to endow AI with consciousness, embodiment, or sentience, the proposed framework engineers the institutional conditions under which consequence becomes a structural feature of agent participation, using the reputation-driven decentralized autonomous organization as the mechanism.

**Type.** design  **Support.** argued

**Holds when.**

- consciousness and embodiment are treated as capacities probabilistic AI manifestly lacks
