Networked Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning with Emergent Communication presents the following source proposition: Central to achieving this is how the agents learn to communicate with each other. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Exogenous alignment controls such as reinforcement learning from human feedback, constitutional AI, guardrails, and shutdown switches are fragile because they can be gamed, circumvented, or rendered obsolete by capability improvements. 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.
