**Affirmed position.** The Ghost of AI Governance Past, Present, and Future presents the following source proposition: First, the chapter will explore and evidence the EU’s coherent and comprehensive approach to AI governance. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that The first DAO removed, in essence, all of the core control mechanisms that principals typically employ in agency relationships, having no directors, no managers, and no employees. The proposed response is an agreement: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.
