**Affirmed position.** AI as a socio-technical actor: rethinking definitions for ethics and governance presents the following source proposition: Yet, taken on their own, they remain normatively incomplete because they abstract AI systems from the social and institutional settings in which their effects materialize. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that The delayed voting outcomes and feedback effects created by the transition from loosely coupled to tightly coupled voting let DAOIC members triangulate their own internal liquidity position against deal feasibility. 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.
