ChoEn: A Smart Contract Based Choreography Enforcer presents the following source proposition: The choice of smart contracts is justified by the desire not to centralize the enforcement process when there are multiple independent actors characterized by low mutual trust. 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 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.
