Methodology for representing legislative rules propositionally, with a pre-processor that scales the RaC conversion to large bodies of legislation; demonstrates viability across 28,290 AU statutes + 40,109 regulations in AustLII.

Closes the recurring objection that RaC is fine for one statute but does not scale. The empirical evidence (AustLII's running corpus) is the answer NETEVO can cite when a board asks "is this academic or industrial?"
