Accessible Smart Contracts Verification: Synthesizing Formal Models with Tamed LLMs presents the following source proposition: One of the most powerful ways of establishing software correctness is by using formal methods. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Because smart contracts are coded for computer programming rather than for a human observer, courts may not be able to hypothesize a reasonable human's interpretation of a given smart contract. 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.
