Blockchain and AI in Digital Contracts: A Legal Review of Smart Contract Enforcement presents the following source proposition: Smart contracts, self-executing contracts with terms encoded into blockchain networks, have emerged as a transformative tool in business transactions, reducing the reliance on intermediaries and enhancing contract security. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Smart contracts, as self executing contracts with terms written directly into code, remove the need for intermediaries, which lowers costs and raises trust among participants. 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.
