TLDR: simple overview of one (of many) overlaps between coding and contract drafting concepts, illustrated by the similarities between defined terms (contracts) and variables (code). First part of an on-going series looking at the similarities & differences between code and contracts and how lawyers and computer scientists might mesh prose to code whilst maintaining legally valid and enforceable contracts.

Note: aimed at both coders and lawyers, so naturally high level in each domain to make it accessible :)
