# kaal:position:2026-07-31-7119

**Affirmed position.** Subnational Capital Finance presents the following source proposition: This chapter defines the key terminology of information problems, information institutions, and information resolution. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that From the viewpoint of consumers and regulators, encumbered reputation tokens serve as a substitute for capital, because they derive their value from the DAO's future cash flows. 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.
