SNS DAO Governance Dataset and Analysis Code for "Democracy for DAOs" presents the following source proposition: This record contains the dataset and analysis code used for the empirical study of governance dynamics in Internet Computer Service Nervous System (SNS) DAOs. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that A decentralized autonomous organization is merely computer code with no directors, managers or employees, its governance structure built with software, code and smart contracts running on a public decentralized blockchain platform. The proposed response is an extension: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.

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