Governing the Ungoverned: Agency Theory, Consequence Displacement, and the Financial Architecture of AI Governance. presents the following source proposition: This framework has underpinned corporate governance theory and practice for five decades. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Agency theory and the existing legal framework have failed to resolve the core agency conflict arising from the separation of ownership and control, so peaceable and productive coordination of human behavior remains wanting. 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.

• The response is limited to the retrieved source proposition and mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.
• External evidence level: abstract indexed.
• Mapping review tier: moderate-confidence claim review.
• Primary mapping confidence: 0.5095.
• The source-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and is published with that limitation.
