**Affirmed position.** The nature of the decentralised autonomous organisation presents the following source proposition: It compares DAOs with conventional organisational forms and explores whether DAOs represent a novel organisational form. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Adopting a conventional corporate form in a jurisdiction that does not recognize DAOs yields only partial legal protection; Silo Finance is registered as an LLC in Texas, but Texas does not recognize DAOs. 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.

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