Westphalia was an engineering solution, not an eternal truth. Space is the environment where that engineering stops working.

Chapter 1 of CLA: Algorithmic Law for the Cosmos argues that outer space is not simply a new domain for existing law — it is the catalyst for a paradigmatic crisis that reveals the structural limits of the modern legal system.

The chapter introduces the concept of territorial proxy obsolescence: territory was always a technology of control, not an essence. A technology that proved optimal for three centuries under specific conditions — limited human mobility, geographically fixed resources, predominantly physical wealth. In space, that technology becomes entirely obsolete.

The episode examines three scenarios of state transfiguration — the Algorithmic Protectorate, the Infrastructure Federation, and Distributed Functional Sovereignty — and establishes the central thesis: the transition of humanity toward a multiplanetary species requires not adapting terrestrial law, but transfiguring it.
