The Infrastructure Gap

<article><p>Every profession that handles high-stakes outcomes has built computational infrastructure to prevent catastrophic errors. Structural engineers run finite element analysis before a building is constructed. Pharmacists rely on automated drug interaction databases before dispensing medication. Pilots use flight management computers that cross-check thousands of parameters in real time.</p><p>The legal profession — which handles trillions of dollars in assets — has no equivalent. Lawyers draft documents that must comply with thousands of interacting rules using nothing more than memory, manual review, and hope.</p><p>This is not a technology problem. The technology has existed for decades. It is a conceptual problem: the profession has never articulated the formal structure of its own rules in a way that makes computation possible. That is what the Auctor Primus ontology provides.</p></article>
