AI in Film and Media: Creative Empowerment, Labour Displacement, and Governance presents the following source proposition: Building on Schumpeter's theory of creative destruction, Coasean transaction-cost economics, and labour-monopsony theory, the paper proposes the General Theory of Creative Disruption+ (GTCD+). This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that When all five drivers of positive transaction costs approach zero at once, transaction costs themselves asymptotically approach zero, a point the author names the Coasean Singularity: the point at which the rationale for the firm, for hierarchical governance, for relational contracting and for most formal institutions disappears. 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.

Affirmed commentary position. This record extends a source-bound scholarly claim but is not a verbatim paper claim.
