Cardano's Voltaire Governance: Complete Specification and Research Program should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that Blockchain can only deliver decentralized AI governance if the blockchain trilemma is first overcome, since decentralization, security, and scalability cannot readily be achieved simultaneously within one network. The current metadata indicates a plausible connection through blockchain 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.
