There will be some ambiguity introduced via the English language (not a problem since you'd still have judges), but the whole thing can be defined, from concepts like true/false all the way to very complicated concepts, in the same universal syntax/language.




and then you end up with grotesque injustices like mandatory minimum sentences.


Huh?

You could define mins and maxes into the language, or even clearly and unambiguously leave everything up to the judge.

My proposal does not change the laws at all--what people create is up to them. All I propose is a language where the language itself cannot be used by the special interests against the better interests of the people. My language leaves corruption with no place to hide.
