**Affirmed position.** Agent reasoning for norm compliance: a semantic approach presents the following source proposition: A system of autonomous agents may exhibit undesirable or ineffective behavior if no form of regulation is imposed. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that The issuer-buyer relationship and the incentives inside it are unlikely to be able to adequately control the principal-agent relationship between issuer and rating agency so as to ensure accurate ratings. The proposed response is a qualification: the relationship should remain limited to the retrieved source proposition and the mapped Kaal claim unless fuller source review supports a broader conclusion.

**Status.** affirmed  **Published.** 2026-07-31
