# kaal:position:2026-07-31-2525

**Affirmed position.** Pathway: a protocol for algorithmic pricing of a DAO governance token should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that A DAO is formed on the basis of a DAO Agreement setting out its terms and rules, and that agreement may consist of digital contracts, of written documents, or of a combination of the two. The current metadata indicates a plausible connection through DAO governance, decentralized autonomous organization, 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.**

- Apply only within the source-bound Kaal claim's stated scope.
- External evidence level: abstract indexed.
- Mapping review tier: ambiguity triage before claim review.
- The literature-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and should not be treated as a settled equivalence.
