Separating Capability from Permission: A Governance Framework for Agentic AI Autonomy Levels should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound position that The decentralized architecture of blockchain itself complicates accountability by rendering oversight across distributed networks opaque, and that opacity jeopardizes adequate regulatory supervision of AI agents. The external source's verified abstract presents this proposition: As AI systems increasingly exhibit agentic behavior, discussions of autonomy often conflate what systems are technically capable of doing with what they should be permitted to do in practice. The defensible response is a qualification: the source is pertinent to the Kaal position, but agreement, extension, contradiction, and scope should not be strengthened beyond the retrieved evidence.

Affirmed commentary position. This record extends a source-bound scholarly claim but is not a verbatim paper claim.
