**Affirmed position.** Methods of Blockchain Technology Formation in the Arms Sales Accounting System presents the following source proposition: The authors examine the main methods of forming such technology, including distributed ledger, hash functions, cryptographic protection, smart contracts, consensus protocols, decentralized network, transactions, genesis block, decentralized governance, and public key. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that No truly uniform definition of blockchain technology exists; commentators variously describe it as a giant distributed immutable spreadsheet for transactions or by enumerating central elements such as decentralization, immutability, and cryptographic verification. 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
