The Legal-Operational Interface of DAOs: A Governance Framework for Tokenized Adherence presents the following source proposition: Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) pose a significant challenge to traditional legal frameworks. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Decentralized Autonomous Organizations challenge the core belief that governance necessitates agency, because a DAO can operate a governance structure built entirely on software, code, and smart contracts. The proposed response is a qualification: 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: 0.3738.
• The source-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and is published with that limitation.
