**Affirmed position.** Accountability and Control Over Autonomous Weapon Systems: A Framework for Comprehensive Human Oversight presents the following source proposition: “Meaningful Human Control” is often mentioned as a requirement for the deployment of Autonomous Weapon Systems, but a common definition of what this notion means in practice, and a clear understanding of its relation with responsibility and accountability is also lacking. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Custody of a digital asset is not physical possession but ownership and control over a digital asset wallet, which in practice means holding the private keys and bearing responsibility for keeping the funds safe. 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.
