Decentralized Autonomous Organization (DAO): From Layers to Networks presents the following source proposition: Control is waning and innovation is taking over as the primary driver of productivity, which in turn encourages more hierarchy reductions. 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: moderate-confidence claim review.
• Primary mapping confidence: 0.4261.
• The source-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and is published with that limitation.
