Wrapper Architecture as Coordination Device: Multiple Equilibria in Autonomous-Agent Organizations presents the following source proposition: Decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) and AI-agent systems combine cryptographic execution with blockchain-based governance, yet observed organizations almost universally combine these mechanisms with a conventional legal entity—a foundation, statutory DAO form, or limited liability wrapper. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that A jurisdiction is only truly favorable to DAOs if it grants the DAO limited liability as an entity and accepts its independent status without requiring any representative in that jurisdiction. 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.

Affirmed commentary position. This record extends a source-bound scholarly claim but is not a verbatim paper claim.
