Alchemy and Algorithmic lawyers

Alchemy is a fascinating pseudo-science, long discredited as a real science; its fundamental principles still form the basis of many contemporary scientific theories. Alchemy is based on the premise that nothing in the universe is devoid of existential elements, and that these elements can be manipulated and even transmuted into other forms. The fabled Philosopher's Stone is said to fulfil one of the main objectives of Alchemy, a legendary Alchemical substance said to be capable of turning base metals such as lead, into gold. As in Alchemy, the notion of "elements" in law is ubiquitous in literally every area of the law, there are prescribed elements of a crime, a delict (or tort), contractual agreements and so forth. The elements of law however, do not lend themselves to conventional scientific enquiry; the legislative provisions, common law and Latin maxims simply do not have any quantifiable mathematical proclivities.
