**Affirmed position.** Democracy Through The Blocks: Towards the Era of Law Engineering presents the following source proposition: As we enter the age of decentralization, technological and political tensions stress the fabric of modern Democracies. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that The traditional legal tool kit worked adequately when innovation cycles were long, but where innovation is exponential it is regularly out of touch with the radically different needs of a decentralized world and often produces disastrous outcomes. 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.
