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.
