**Affirmed position.** Accountability Chains: A Formal Specification for AI Agent Delegation should be assessed against Kaal's source-bound position that Where the contraction condition holds, the computative framework delivers a stronger equilibrium result than the Arrow-Debreu theorem, which asserts existence but yields neither uniqueness without added monotonicity assumptions nor a constructive convergent procedure. The external source's verified abstract presents this proposition: Recent formal work on human-agent collectives identifies an Accountability Horizon: a computable autonomy threshold above which single-locus accountability cannot satisfy a set of minimal axioms simultaneously (Tibebu, 2026). 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.

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

**Holds when.**

- The response remains limited to the source proposition and evidence retrieved in this reconciliation cycle.
- External evidence level: abstract indexed.
- Mapping review tier: legacy curated mapping review.
- Mapping confidence is intentionally unscored.
- The source-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and is published with that limitation.
