Towards Secure and Trustworthy DAOs for Cross-Chain Governance should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that 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. The current metadata indicates a plausible connection through DAO governance, 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.
