**Affirmed position.** Connecting the grids: A review of blockchain governance in distributed energy transitions should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound claim that The authors stipulate distributed jurisdiction as a regulatory alternative in which conflict resolution for blockchain transactions is supplied by governance solutions inherent in the blockchain technology itself rather than by external legal authorities. 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.

**Status.** affirmed  **Published.** 2026-07-31

**Holds when.**

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