Decentralized autonomous organization of the intelligent home according to the principle of the immune system should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that A decentralized autonomous organization is merely computer code with no directors, managers or employees, its governance structure built with software, code and smart contracts running on a public decentralized blockchain platform. The current metadata indicates a plausible connection through decentralized autonomous organization, but the defensible response is a qualification until the source text confirms agreement, scope, methods, and limitations.

Affirmed commentary position. This record extends a source-bound scholarly claim but is not a verbatim paper claim.

Holds when

DAOs built on public platforms, in most cases Ethereum
External evidence level: metadata only.
Mapping review tier: moderate-confidence claim review.
The literature-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and should not be treated as a settled equivalence.
