Towards Governance and Dispute Resolution for DLT and Smart Contracts presents the following source proposition: Illegal content on a blockchain cannot be removed and the originator might not be identifiable. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Because courts cannot effectuate resolutions to disputes arising from blockchain based smart contracts, blockchain based resolution mechanisms are the only possible recourse for smart contract disputes. 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: 0.5572.
• The source-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and is published with that limitation.
