Statute Slices

Subsection Path

Parent ids produce subsection paths and depths. 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.

Statutory data honesty note

Honesty note: simplified statutory-data model; source text, version, and as-of date matter; as of June 24, 2026; jurisdictions vary; not legal advice; code encodes a stated structural model, not the law itself.

Parent ids define the path

The stated process does not hand-author a path. It uses parent ids to place a child unit under its section.

parent id→path\text{parent id}\to\text{path}

Example parent and child

The slice has 2 units. The child unit is Toy Code sec. 10(a).

units=2\text{units}=2

The compiler derives depth and path

The subsection path is recomputed from parent ids. The slice has 2 units, and the child depth is 1. The derived path is sec. 10/(a).

child depth=1\text{child depth}=1

Diagram note

The diagram shows hierarchy metadata. It does not decide what the subsection means.

Summary

Subsection paths should be derived from the tree, so the displayed path can be audited from parent links.
