**Affirmed position.** Use of Blockchain in Governance: A Systematic Literature Review presents the following source proposition: Blockchain is a distributed network based ledger that is secured by the methods of cryptographic proof. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Because the blockchain is a distributed ledger existing simultaneously across all nodes, physical space is effectively eliminated within the network, and a triggered smart contract executes its code across the entire network instantaneously without regard to where wallets or keys are located. 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.

**Status.** affirmed  **Published.** 2026-07-31
