**Affirmed position.** When Decentralization Stops Working: A Framework for AI Governance under Changing Risk Structures presents the following source proposition: This article argues that the choice between them depends on the structure of risk, not prior assumptions about government or markets. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that The voting logic makes impact community members work for themselves and for the community at the same time, which Kaal argues gives the system potential to create a reputation economy and forms of decentralized commerce that transcend capitalism and socialism. The proposed response is a qualification: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.
