Regulation of Financial Protocol DAOs: Addressing the Problems of Decentralization and AI Governance presents the following source proposition: DAOs are typically governed by smart contracts and operate on blockchain, complicating regulatory enforcement due to their decentralized, non-hierarchical structure. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Smart contracting on the blockchain often makes legal contracting unnecessary because smart contracts emulate the logic of legal contract clauses. 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: 0.383.
• The source-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and is published with that limitation.
