Understanding Members' Active Participation in a DAO: An Empirical Study on Steemit. presents the following source proposition: One of Blockchain’s great potential is to enable the decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs), whose organizational structure and operational mechanism fundamentally distinct from traditional organizations. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that If DAO members do not formalize a structure for their human created entity, courts are very likely to impose one on them, which is a serious risk of DAO membership. 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: 0.4203.
• The source-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and is published with that limitation.
