Abstract

The smart contracts phenomenon arises as a new step in electronic contracts. This work researches the semantic complexities of drafting legal agreements in increasingly digitalized environments. The article aims to identify theoretical limits incorporating programming language in drafting agreements by studying the level of rationality in contractual terms and legal reasoning. The language of code is highly rational, but the pervasiveness of rationality within the legal language may vary according to what contract´s categories and legal reasoning are being adhered to.
