Blockchains, Smart Contracts, und das Dezentrale Web presents the following source proposition: The Blockchain can be used everywhere where information is to be stored and verified and where usually an intermediate agent is engaged. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that A smart contract is computer program code that enables the verification, execution and enforcement of specific terms and conditions of a contractual arrangement. 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.
