Each legally valid right or obligation is embedded in one or more jurisdictions and can be expressed by text, code, and other means of expression such as signs, gestures, plans, documents, or circumstances. Law and private legal acts are binding for both natural and legal persons, which requires a clear assignment to the corresponding (real and digital) identity and an analysis of its legal capacity. A digital legally relevant system must therefore be designed for seamless interaction between both text and code and further be able to integrate these other expressions of intent of legislators and will of persons, so as to maximise the respective advantages of law and private legal acts written in text and in machine-executable code. This allows a future-proof, staggered approach towards a digitalised law without an additional risk to the subjects of the law.
