Assessing Vulnerability in Smart Contracts: The Role of Code Complexity Metrics in Security Analysis presents the following source proposition: Software built on poor structural patterns often shows higher exposure to security defects. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Rigid code is law smart contracts over fungible currency are built to guarantee irreversible, unreviewable, self executing outcomes, which is a poor match for business because business ventures very rarely proceed exactly as imagined at the outset. 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.

• 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: 0.3513.
• The source-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and is published with that limitation.
