Toward a Computational Theory of Legal Complexity Combating climate change, safeguarding democracy, regulating Artificial Intelligence: Societies worldwide are facing a deluge of urgent and fundamental challenges. Legal systems play an essential role in addressing these challenges, but many of them are struggling to respond effectively. Improving the capacity of our legal systems to handle current and future challenges requires novel tools for analyzing and monitoring legal systems. Complexity science provides a framework for developing these tools, permitting the principled and systematic study of law as a complex system—an evolving network of diverse agents that interact via adaptive, rule-based behaviors and make interdependent choices. CompLex will work toward a computational theory of legal systems as complex systems. Drawing on concepts and techniques from computer science and network science, the project will contribute the main building blocks of such a theory: multilayer maps to capture
