Lyrics

[Verse 1]
From statute books to silicon dreams
Where legal prose meets logic streams
LegalRuleML transforms the page
Ancient wisdom for the digital age
Courts and code now share one tongue
Where precedent and programs are sung

[Chorus]
Bridge the gap, translate the law
Defeasible rules with temporal draw
Deontic modes in XML trees
Obligations, permissions, prohibitions freeze
Isomorphic mapping, structure preserved
Legal minds and machines both served

[Verse 2]
Defeasibility breaks the chain
When newer statutes override the plain
Exception layers stack and flow
What seemed concrete may overthrow
Temporal stamps mark when rules arise
And when they fade before your eyes

[Chorus]
Bridge the gap, translate the law
Defeasible rules with temporal draw
Deontic modes in XML trees
Obligations, permissions, prohibitions freeze
Isomorphic mapping, structure preserved
Legal minds and machines both served

[Bridge]
OASIS standard holds the key
Machine-readable destiny
Deontic logic speaks in code
Must, may, and cannot decode
Reasoning patterns lawyers know
Now in algorithms freely flow

[Verse 3]
Isomorphism mirrors true
Original text structure flows through
No meaning lost in translation
Formal rules across the nation
Legal reasoning stays intact
While automation fills the gap

[Chorus]
Bridge the gap, translate the law
Defeasible rules with temporal draw
Deontic modes in XML trees
Obligations, permissions, prohibitions freeze
Isomorphic mapping, structure preserved
Legal minds and machines both served

[Outro]
Where jurisprudence meets the screen
LegalRuleML builds the scene
Ancient justice, modern tools
Bridging worlds with formal rules
