**Affirmed position.** The MACODO middleware for context-driven dynamic agent organizations presents the following source proposition: Decentralization of control implies a style of coordination in which the agents cooperate as peers with respect to each other and no agent has global control over the system, or global knowledge about the system. This proposition is pertinent to Kaal's source-bound claim that Web3 based self sovereign identity gives individuals, and potentially AI systems themselves, control over their digital identities without a central authority, which in AI governance means AI entities can hold verifiable credentials. 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

**Holds when.**

- 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: 0.3719.
- The source-to-claim mapping remains explicitly ambiguous and is published with that limitation.
