From Technical Constraints to Institutional Choices: Navigating the Governance Trilemma of Blockchain in Green Trade should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that If a small number of hyperscale firms control electricity contracts, GPU supply chains, and data center locations, the collapse of cognitive scarcity produces digital feudalism in which abundance accrues to the controllers of the compute substrate while the rest of the economy faces artificial scarcity imposed through infrastructure gatekeeping. 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.
