Abstract:
This article considers the following. Digital coding of information is far less extensive than the complexity and much less radical than the digital coding of selection among information which establishes the legal system. Niklas Luhmanns theory is the principal example of an appreciation for the latter. Luhmann presented the design for understanding law as autopoietic, a law legitimated and sustained by legal procedure.
