The Tao of The DAO: Taxing an Entity That Lives on a Blockchain presents the following source proposition: The possibility of using smart contracts to allow an entity to operate totally autonomously on a blockchain platform seems attractive. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Equality is a natural byproduct of the blockchain-driven evolution of the crypto economy, because the trust enhancing consensus model, smart contracting in anonymous networks, and DAOs together allow a more equal society to evolve. 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.

• 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: 0.3684.
• The source-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and is published with that limitation.
