## Every claim under this term

4 claims across 3 works, 2020 to 2021.

**2020**

- [3652481-006](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3652481-006) [condition/argued] -- DAOs require values shared by their members in order to unify the membership and guarantee stability of cooperation while the structure remains decentralized.
  > DAOs need values shared by the DAO members to unify them and to guarantee stability of cooperation while maintaining a decentralized structure.
  Wulf A. Kaal, Decentralized Autonomous Organizations – Internal Governance and External Legal Design (2020). SSRN: https://ssrn.com/abstract=3652481

**2021**

- [3782192-002](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3782192-002) [definitional/asserted] -- At the decentralized stage the individual nodes remain autonomous and the network assigns no fixed roles; coordination comes from alignment on a shared transcendental goal rather than from formal position, so that, as the authors put it, the values are the organization.
  > The individual nodes remain autonomous; the network does not have fixed roles for each member. But they are all responding to a higher calling as they unite in purpose.
  Craig Calcaterra, Wulf A. Kaal, Introduction to Decentralization (2021). SSRN: https://ssrn.com/abstract=3782192
- [3782192-026](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3782192-026) [condition/asserted] -- Nothing external can destroy a decentralized organization: such organizations are invincible unless every single member loses adherence to the values that organized it in the first place.
  > What can destroy a decentralized organization? Nothing. Decentralized organiza- tions are invincible unless every single member loses their adherence to the values that organized it in the first place

- [3782220-037](https://wulfkaal.github.io/claims/3782220-037) [mechanism/argued] -- Because a decentralized organization does not coerce its members as centralized organizations do, its power is determined by how devoted its members are to its values, and its power is its power to unite in service to the goal of shared values.
  > The power of a DAO is its power to unite in service to the goal of shared values. In a decentralized organization, which doesn't coerce its mem- bers like centralized organizations, its power is determined by how devoted its mem- bers are to its values.
