A Secure and Adaptable Framework for Decentralized Cloud Storage by Fusion of RDH-EI and Blockchain presents the following source proposition: The integration also introduces a decentralized governance structure through smart contracts, empowering fine-grained control over data access within the decentralized cloud storage environment. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Contrary to the common engineering view that automated processes remove regulation, the purpose of smart contracts is to deliver much more fine grained regulation and more control, not less. 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: 0.3997.
• The source-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and is published with that limitation.
