v0.2.1b of Blawx-MCP is live at github.com/Lexpedite/bl..., and will allow your AI agent to inputs legal documents into your project, and will allow your agent to work on multiple §Blawx projects at the same time.
Coming soon, Remote MCP to make it more widely accessible.
#RulesAsCode #LegalTech
v2.1.0 of §Blawx is now live, along with a Blawx-MCP server v0.2.0b that allows your agentic AI to write §Blawx code for (or with) you.
This is why I started on v2 years ago. All the strengths of symbolic AI, generative AI, and you, combined.

Deploying code over airport wifi is not a great dev experience. 😅
Irritating. They also changed the bridge of the Lord's prayer.

Putting agentic AI into things is good.
Putting things into agentic AI is better.

It is attacking a straw man to say lawyers will never be replaced by developers who encode what laws say.
But lawyers may very well be replaced by other lawyers who encode what they interpret laws to mean.
So dunk if you must, fellow lawyers, but the dev is closer to the truth than you are.
5/5
And what you have decided to advise that client the law means can likely be usefully encoded. In ways that would benefit more clients, more efficiently.
So you can mock the idea that law is code.
But don't let it lull you into any comfort that you won't eventually be competing with encoded law.
4/
So the Income Tax Act is not code in any real sense. But the way the CRA enforces it could be. And the enforcement might be better. The phone lines almost certainly would be.
If you are a lawyer, and you give a most likely interpretation to a client, you have also disambiguated the law.
3/
Yes, words can mean more than one thing. But meanings can't. If you have picked a meaning, you have disambiguated the law into something that CAN be encoded.
You disambiguate a law every time you, as a government agency, choose how to apply it.
2/
I see a lot of people here dunking on a software dev who thinks that law is code.
As a person who ought to know (grad degree in computational law), let me point out two things that can be true at the same time:
1. Laws are not code.
2. Interpretations of law can be encoded.

MOAR LIBRARIANS remains my truth
Oh, I had other coding agents, just not Claude Code.
Playing with Claude Code at work, for the first time today, and the difference is really obvious even coming from CoPilot with the same models. It feels like it understands there is a world outside the repository that the repository is supposed to serve. Impressive right away.
"the stone age where they belong"?
Sure. Just being explicitly hateful on prime time TV.
Degeneracy.
I genuinely wonder how he smells.
Made progress on §Blawx this past weekend. Got a coding agent using it — reading the law, creating vocabulary, encoding sections of law, questions, and fact scenarios, running the questions, finding errors, correcting the errors.
Promising!

You don't even need a deterministic system that can generate correct answers. Just one that can validate them.
But I'm uncertain whether this demands less computational efficiency of those methods because efficiency can be added later, or requires even more to support the learning task... 3/3
Plus if you look at how deterministic systems are used to train models, every time you create a new capability in a deterministic system, even if only for validation, there is a potential path to turning that capability into hardware. 2/
Saw an article about Taalas LLM-on-a-chip expansion cards, today, and I don't know why that never occurred to me before.
That's very inspiring.
Data->Models->Hardware!
Zero data exposure risk, low environmental footprint, high independence from vendors, hopefully efficient in cost. 1/
If you learn about how Germany went from democratic to authoritarian, it was by using violence to intimidate political opponents, ignoring the constitution and the law, and centralizing power to solve problems that people only believed existed because they had been lied to.
So everything's fine!
Graph showing renewables overtaking fossil fuels
For when someone tells you everything is irredeemably broken - tell them that the EU produced more electricity with renewables in 2025 that from fossil fuels. And the trend is accelerating (especially after the current oil / gas price disasters).
So the main goal of the war is now to stop Iran from doing the thing they did only because you started the war, because all the other goals are impossible.
Right. Gotcha.
I'm working on giving agentic AI the ability to do #RulesAsCode encodings in §Blawx, and I keep needing to ask myself, "is this beyond the AI's capabilities, have I not given it sufficient context to do this properly, or is the agent right and my system is broken?"
New remarks: The IC assesses regime in Iran appears to be intact but largely degraded by Operation Epic Furydue to attacks on its leadership and military capabilities. Its regionalconventional military power projection capabilities have largely been destroyed, leaving limited options. Prior to the current operations, Iran’s strategic position had been significantly degraded. The US led maximum pressure campaign and snapback of European sanctions added additional pressure to an already bleak Iranian economy, resulting in mass protests earlier this year that Tehran suppressed by killing thousands of protesters. Even if the regime remains intact, the IC assesses that internal tensions are likely to increase as Iran’s economy worsens. Even so, Iran and its proxies remain capable of and continue to attack US and allied interests in the Middle East. The IC assesses that If a hostile regime survives, it will likely seek to begin a yearslong effort to rebuild its military, missiles and UAV forces. As a result of Operation Midnight HammerPrior to Operation Epic Fury, the IC assesses Iran was trying to recover from the severe damage to its nuclear infrastructure sustained during the 12 day war, and continued to refuse to comply with its nuclear obligations to the IAEA, refusing them access to key facilities. enrichment program was obliterated. There has been no efforts since then to try to rebuild their enrichment capability. The entrances to the underground facilities that were bombed have been buried and shuttered with cement. We continue to monitor for any early indicators on what position the current or any new leadership in Iran will take with regard to authorizing a nuclear weapons program.
Uh, so, turns out that Gabbard *didn't* testify those things.
She just deviated significantly from her submitted remarks. Notably, she replaced the entire portion of her testimony which claimed that Iran *wasn't* rebuilding its enrichment capabilities by heavily suggesting that they, in fact, were.
Arriving at Rules as Code Europe 2026 in the Hague Convention Centre this morning.
Almost 300 #RulesAsCode professionals registered to attend! 🤯
Reading about the changes to F1 this year, and how unhappy the drivers are...
Yeah. Drivers maintain momentum. You replaced momentum with batteries. They literally have to go slower in braking zones and corners to win races.
Why would they like that?
But what matters will be if there is passing.

My wife made me a #RulesAsCode shirt!
Going to spend a week visiting Netherlands, and attending the #RulesAsCode Europe 2026 conference to talk about §Blawx's history inside the GoC, and what's coming; and to learn from the largest and fastest growing RaC community on the planet.
250 attendees is just wild to me.
