Extension: DAO 3.0: The Harmony Framework - DAO Legal Structuring: A Jurisdiction-Neutral Playbook

Record: kaal:position:2026-08-08-195 · 2026-08-08

DAO 3.0: The Harmony Framework states that jurisdiction-specific DAO integration is fragmented and often fails to address DAOs' global, cross-border nature. This extends Kaal's more specific account of jurisdiction-bound legal representation as a centralizing feature of existing DAO solutions by supplying the cross-border scope mismatch. The abstract does not test representation requirements or show that every jurisdiction-specific structure fails.

Affirmed commentary position. This record extends a source-bound scholarly claim but is not a verbatim paper claim.
