Limitations of trust and legitimacy in blockchain: exploring the effectiveness of decentralisation, immutability and consensus mechanisms in blockchain governance should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that The absence of clearly defined technology features for blockchain, distributed ledger, and associated terms propagates outward, producing knock-on definitional problems in other parts of the blockchain ecosystem. 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.
