**Affirmed position.** Dynamic regulation of fibroblast growth factor 2 (FGF‐2) gene expression in the rat brain following single and repeated cocaine administration should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that No static citation protocol can eliminate all arbitrage opportunities for sufficiently patient and powerful actors, a conclusion the author draws from Arrow's Impossibility Theorem, the Folk Theorems of repeated games, and incomplete contract theory. The current metadata indicates a plausible connection through dynamic regulation, but the defensible response is a qualification until the source text confirms agreement, scope, methods, and limitations.

**Status.** affirmed  **Published.** 2026-07-31

**Holds when.**

- actors are sufficiently patient and powerful
- the citation protocol is fixed and published
- External evidence level: metadata only.
- Mapping review tier: mapping review before claim review.
- The literature-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and should not be treated as a settled equivalence.
