Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAO) presents the following source proposition: At its core, a DAO is an organization that operates based on predefined rules encoded as computer programs called smart contracts. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that A decentralized autonomous organization is merely computer code with no directors, managers or employees, its governance structure built with software, code and smart contracts running on a public decentralized blockchain platform. 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: high-confidence claim review.
• Primary mapping confidence: 0.686.
• The primary mapping cleared the automated ambiguity test; substantive scope remains review-bound.
