Toward a Less Incomplete Contract: Merging Smart Contracts and Esg Metrics Contracts presents the following source proposition: Such contracts, however, are incomplete, as they do not account for all possible contingencies that may arise during the contractual relationship. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that A decentralized human backstop to code is a core and often overlooked infrastructure requirement, because without it the immutability of the blockchain and its cryptographic security may not create genuine transactional guarantees or trust between principals and agents in the integrity of their contractual relationship. 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.
