Triadic DAO Governance: A Minimal Safety Architecture for Decentralized Control presents the following source proposition: Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) frequently fail not due to malicious actors, but due to structural deficiencies in governance design. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Requiring governance tokens to be earned through contribution rather than purchased, as GDN DAO does, leaves only minimal risk of 51 percent and sock puppet attacks even under a one token one vote structure. The proposed response is a qualification: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.

• The response is limited to the retrieved source proposition and mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.
• External evidence level: abstract indexed.
• Mapping review tier: moderate-confidence claim review.
• Primary mapping confidence: 0.3928.
• The source-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and is published with that limitation.
