**Affirmed position.** The nature of agency: designing agentic systems using a biomimetic lens presents the following source proposition: It argues that nature-inspired governance offers a dynamic alternative to static, compliance-based models. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Regulation by prosecution denies corporations the channels of influence available under legislative and administrative rulemaking, since it offers no comment process and no opportunity to lobby regulations in their favor. 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.

**Status.** affirmed  **Published.** 2026-07-31
