**Affirmed position.** KnowLedger - A Multi-Agent System Blockchain for Smart Cities Data presents the following source proposition: Smart Cities introduce novel problems related to the management of inordinate amounts of data of different types and sources. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that A blockchain guarantee means that a contract between principal and agent executes only if and when all contract parameters have been fulfilled by both parties and verified by a majority of miners or nodes in the system. 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.

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