Chapter profile
09. Constitutionalism and the Reach of Higher-Order Law
How does higher-order law reach the architectures that execute it, and which constitutional obligations follow a public function into private infrastructure, and where must that extension be justified separately?

Can intelligent systems take part in founding a constitutional order, and on what conditions?
Public profile · full text released separately
Chapter profile
12. Sources, Hierarchy and the Chain of Legal Authority
How does authority travel from source to system without breaking: which defects break the authority of an act, which permit correction or severance, and who has competence to decide the consequence?
Public profile · full text released separately
Chapter profile
13. Intelligent Rule Formation
When a system produces rules, what makes any of them law?
Public profile · full text released separately
Chapter profile
14. Interpretation, Principles and Institutional Reason
What makes an explanation of an outcome a legal justification that an institution can answer for, and what follows for an outcome for which no justification is available?
Public profile · full text released separately
Chapter profile
15. Self-Modification, Constitutional Revision and Their Limits
When does an intelligent system’s revision change its constitutional authority, and what must remain contestable as the system changes?

Which protections attach to the person before an adverse decision, including at the stages of identification, classification and exclusion?
Public profile · full text released separately
Chapter profile
17. Delegation, Discretion and Automated Administration
How can responsibility remain attributable when an institution delegates work across people, systems and providers, what evidence demonstrates meaningful human control in practice, and how should responsibility be allocated when that control fails?

What must a machine-readable representation preserve for its use to remain legally faithful?
Public profile · full text released separately
Chapter profile

25. Human Constitutional Control
How can meaningful control be demonstrated under routine organisational conditions and not only in a system’s formal policy?
Public profile · full text released separately
Chapter profile

On what terms may a constitutional order admit intelligent participation in the exercise of public authority?
Public profile · full text released separately
Chapter profile
