**Affirmed position.** AI Disclosure Without Accountability: Paper Compliance and the Governance Limits of Transparency in Scientific Research presents the following source proposition: Based on an exploratory review of 80 recent academic articles, the report demonstrates that explicit AI disclosure is limited and, when present, is primarily symbolic or narrative rather than verifiable. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Because members of a decentralized network are assumed relatively equal, evidence of all bureaucratic work must be posted in a universally accessible location for eternal review, and every reputation token needs an openly verifiable history just as digital currency creation does without a central verifying authority. 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.
