The Street Finds Its Own Uses for Attachment Human-Agent Relationships and the Hidden Economics of AI Collaboration presents the following source proposition: When humans work closely with AI agents over time, they develop relationship-specific capital: accumulated context, shared shorthand, mutual understanding of working style. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Humans remain the terminal consumers of AI generated value but cease to be its proximate driver, and this distinction is why traditional demand side economics loses descriptive accuracy in the agentic layer. 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: 0.3541.
• The source-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and is published with that limitation.
