Tired: Rule of Law Wired: Rule of Protocol Hmm wonder if there can be a legal system based on protocols rather than laws as the building blocks Law: No turn on red Protocol: Algorithm for deciding when to turn on red Laws map circumstances to defensible decisions Protocols map circumstances to defensible algorithms

When most actions are partly automated… this will be unavoidable. A turn of a steering wheel is no longer physics of differential gears. It is a suggestion to a steering algorithm.

The red turn is powerful example. The first time I went to Shanghai (can turn on red, no go straight) and Cape Town (their “robots” have strange timings), it was so hard to cross a street to the point of feeling lost. The only heuristic was to observe others, and copy.

There are worlds of insight on this from the world’s longest living continuous culture of 65,000+ years. I wish I could bridge this insight in to SOP. These are the og protocols coupled with deep lore. Indigenous Australians also have their own legal systems based on protocols.

I wonder if some amount of corruption or inefficiency is needed and could be built into such protocols. For example to deal with glitches and to keep it humane. Could you technically enforce turning a blind eye?

Where does the "grey area" live in this proposal? eg. in the turn-on-red case, the "you're allowed to break all rules if you're bleeding from a gunshot wound and are speeding toward the hospital" rule. Where does the logic for handling that live in rule-of-protocol-world?

What would be the equivalent to "The Law is fractal" in this scenario? Laws already create grey areas, protocols would create even more grey areas.
