Autonomous Blockchain Organization for Sustainable Software and Execution History presents the following source proposition: Decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) that can coordinate the works of crowds of users, developers, and researchers can be built using smart contracts on blockchains. 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.

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