Statute Slices

Statute to Rule Handoff

A statutory unit can be passed to a separate stated-rule model. Honesty note: simplified statutory-data model; source text, version, and as-of date matter; the pinned first step states the as-of date; jurisdictions vary; not legal advice.

A selected unit can feed a separate model

The stated process first selects a statutory unit as source data, then passes a pointer to a separate stated-rule trace.

source unit→rule trace\text{source unit}\to\text{rule trace}

Example selected unit

Toy Code sec. 10(a) is selected as a source record. Selection here means pointer construction, not legal interpretation.

The trace stays separate from the text record

The separate structural trace has 1 row and does not interpret the statute.

trace rows=1\text{trace rows}=1

Diagram note

The diagram places the statute slice beside the rule trace so the handoff is visible. The trace is not the law itself.

Summary

A statute-to-rule handoff should preserve a source pointer and show where human review must happen.
