Current obligations and rights
Applicable sources, jurisdiction, commencement, version and unresolved interpretation.
07 / The legal layer
Understand the rules.
Examine what comes next.
Radical overcompliance is Luke's proposed transition method: operate within current obligations, make their effects legible, and use lawful processes to examine change.

A method with a history.
Australian Law 2012: Luke's Relevance documents his 2012 to 2013 personal legal read-through and the Gather, Chomp, Sort, Plan method. Its public design connects source-grounded information with reflection and lawful reform. This site reports that lineage rather than treating overcompliance as a new procurement checklist.

Three views that remain separate.
Voluntary commitments
Additional practices an individual or organisation has chosen, clearly distinguished from legal requirements.
Proposed changes
Alternative wording or arrangements, assumptions, consultation and modelled consequences.

A complete reflection is wider than a statute index.
The intended scope includes Commonwealth, state and territory legislation; subordinate instruments; local laws and planning; judicial interpretation; relevant contracts and standards; and international treaties and obligations. A working map would retain the distinction between a source's wording, its legal status and an interpretation of what it means in context.
| Record | Questions carried with it |
|---|---|
| Law and instruments | Which jurisdiction, version, commencement and affected provisions? |
| Judicial interpretation | Which court, issues, reasoning and subsequent treatment? |
| International commitments | Signature, ratification, entry into force, reservations and domestic implementation? |
| Proposed reform | Which rights, duties, institutions and dependencies would change? |
| Public reflection | Whose questions, alternative models and unresolved disagreements remain visible? |

2031 is Luke's proposed horizon.
Luke aims for reflection on Australian law and international obligations before a proposed cyber-republic referendum no later than 2031. This is not an announced referendum or a forecast of its outcome. The AEC explains that constitutional alteration requires the applicable parliamentary process and approval at a referendum, including a double majority. The simulation would inform consideration, not enact a constitutional change.

Reflection without a predetermined public verdict.
The workbench can compare proposed arrangements, including retaining existing ones, and expose their assumptions and consequences. Employment, healthcare, member benefits and access to tools remain distinct from political agreement. The page does not recommend a vote, candidate or party.
Current law, personal commitments and a proposed future are three different kinds of statement.
