Legal problems in self-executing contracts presents the following source proposition: The smart programs operating in the digital container represented by the blockchain platforms or other smart digital platforms that support the smart contracting process conclude and implement these contractual models based on the contractual instructions and protocols provided by the contractors. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that A smart contract is computer program code that enables the verification, execution and enforcement of specific terms and conditions of a contractual arrangement. The proposed response is an agreement: 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: 0.3891.
• The source-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and is published with that limitation.
