**Affirmed position.** DEE: Decentralized Evolving Ecosystem, A Post-Consensus Model for AI Agent Communities presents the following source proposition: Decentralized Autonomous Organizations (DAOs) have demonstrated that centralized authority can be replaced by distributed consensus, token-based voting, and smart contract governance. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Where a founder retains access to the smart contract behind the governance token, as with 3OH DAO, an internal attack by that founder would be remarkably easy. 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
